Baroreceptor Reflex

Increase in BP


Baroreceptors in Carotid Sinus, Aorta & Medulla


Integrator-Medulla Oblongata


Effectors: SA Node, Blood Vessels


SA Node Fires less (HR lowers), BV vasodilation


BP lowers

Sphygmomanometer use

Wrap cuff around upper arm, inflate above expected systolic pressure


Stethoscope on artery just below cuff, no sound as no blood flow occurs


Slowly release pressure listen for Korotkoff tapping sounds, read systolic pressure


Release pressure, no sound=diastolic pressure

Blood pressure and body position

Standing: BP and HR increased, gravity pushes down, more difficult to pump blood to head


Laying down: Lower BP and HR, effects of gravity lessened, heart level with head, easier pumping

MAP

Mean Arterial Blood Pressure


Average arterial pressure in 1 cardiac cycle


Represents Total Peripheral Resistance and Cardiac Output, takes into account that 2/3 of cardiac cycle is diastole


If too low for too long (below 60), vital organs don't get enough O2


MAP=DP+1/3(SP-DP)

Cardiac Output

CO= HR x SV


Heart Rate= Beats per Minute


Stroke volume= Amount of blood pumped out

MAP=CO x TPR

Mean Arterial Blood Pressure=


Cardiac Output X Total Peripheral Pressure


CO= blood volume pumped per minute


TPR= Total resistance of blood flow in systemic circulation

FVC % deviation

(Actual Vol FEV/Total FVC) x 100


Should be above 80%

Normal Breathing Rate

12-20 Breaths per Minute while resting

Chemoreceptor Reflex


(respiratory)

Increased CO2


Chemoreceptors in Medulla, carotid artery and aorta


Medulla


Respiratory muscles


Increased ventilation


Lower CO2

Diabetes Mellitus

Type 1: no insulin, damaged panceas


Type 2: Little insulin, insulin-resistant cells

Sertoli cells

Testis "nurse cells"


nourish developing sperm cells, consume residual cytoplasm

Renal Filtration

Not filtered: Proteins, RBCs, WBCs, Platelets


Filtered: H2O, glucose, electrolytes, amino acids, bicarbonate, urea, creatine


Happens at Renal Capsule (Bowman's Capsule & Glomerulus)

Renal Reabsorbtion

Proximal Convoluted Tubule: Glucose and some Sodium


Loop of Henle: descending-H2O, ascending-salt


Distal Convoluted Tublule: Na+ (K+ secreted)


which hormone works at DCT? Aldosterone


Collecting Duct: H2O


which hormone at CD? ADH

Renal pH regulation

Add Hydrogen into urine, reabsorb less Hydrogen to make blood more alkaline and urine more acidic


Reabsorb Hydrogen from urine, add more bicarbonate to urine tp make blood more acidic and urine more alkaline



Water Balance


(Blood Osmolarity)

Blood plasma= 0.9% Na+


Urine= up to 2.2% Na+


Excess H2O->large volume dilute urine from decreased H2O retention/no ADH



Glucose reabsorption

Happens in PCT


None should be in urine, glucose is transported with Na+


Insulin from Pancreatic Beta cells should then handle the glucose

Normal urine pH

6-6.5

Normal urine glucose

0-0.8

Normal specific gravity

1.000

Normal urine protein and blood

0

Urine Volume

Sodium Bicarbonate: lower volume, Na+=higher blood osmolarity=more H2O reabsorbtion=less urine


H2O: Increased volume, lower blood osmolarity, more urine formed

pH and bicarbonate on urine

Raised pH, more alkaline urine

Aldosterone is released when

Blood volume is low


Promotes Na+ reabsorbtion in DCT


Na+ moves back into blood, H2O follows through osmosis

Aldosterone affects BP and Urine Output:

Na+ and H2O levels in blood increase, BP increases and urination is less frequent

ADH is released when

Blood osmolarity is high


Increases H2O re absorption from kidneys in collecting ducts, less urine formed


raises BP

RAA reflex

Decrease in blood volume


Juxtoglomerular apparatus (macula densa cells)


Renin released-angiotensingogen-angiotensin I-Angiotensin II (thirst)-aldoseterone released-Vasoconstriction, Na and water reabsorbtion, BP up, Volume up

Respirometer graph

Slow Vital Capacity
