Ch 21 blood
Elastic rebound
Arterial walls Stretch during systole Keep blood moving during diastole by returning to orignal size
Cardiovascular (CV) center of the medulla oblongata
Consists of cardiac centers and vasomotor center
Mean arterial pressure (MAP)
Diastolic pressure + one-third pulse pressure
Pulse pressure
Difference between systolic and diastolic pressure
Filtration
Driven by hydrostatic pressure Water and small solutes forced through capillary wall Leaves larger solutes in bloodstream Generally occurs on arteriole end
Vascular resistance
Due to friction between blood and vessel walls Depends on vessel length and vessel diameter
Decrease, increasing
During hemorrhaging, the drop in capillary hydrostatic pressure will ________ NFP, thus ________ reabsorption.
Internal elastic membrane (in arteries)
Elastic fibers in outer margin of tunica intima
Venous valves
Folds of tunica intima Prevent blood from flowing backward Compression of veins pushes blood toward heart
Flow is proportional to the pressure gradient divided by resistance
Formula for flow
NFP = (CHP- IHP) - (BCOP-ICOP)
Formula for net filtration pressure
Continuous capillaries
Found in all tissues except epithelia and cartilage Permit diffusion of water, small solutes, and lipid- soluble materials
Precapillary sphincter
Guards entrance to each capillary Opens and closes, causing capillary blood to flow in pulses
Sinusoids (sinusoidal capillaries)
Have gaps between adjacent endothelial cells Permit free exchange of water and large plasma proteins Found in Liver Spleen Bone marrow Endocrine organs
Arterioles
Have little or no tunica externa Have thin or incomplete tunica media

Includes The endothelial lining Connective tissue layer Internal elastic membrane (in arteries)
Net filtration pressure (NFP)
The difference between Net hydrostatic pressure Net osmotic pressure
Hydrostatic, colloid osmotic
The force that moves fluid out of capillaries is ________ pressure whereas the opposing force that moves fluid into capillaries is ________ pressure.
external elastic membrane.
The layer between the tunica media and the tunica externa in a large artery is the
Arterioles
The main control of peripheral resistance occurs in the
Reabsorption
The result of osmosis Higher solute concentration leads to higher osmotic pressure (OP) of a solution Gernerally occurs on venule end
- Arteries have thicker walls and higher blood pressure than veins - A constricted artery has a small, round lumen - A vein has a large, irregular lumen - The endothelium of a constricted artery is folded -Arteries are more elastic than veins - Veins have valves
- Differences between arteries and veins
Aneurysm
A bulge in an arterial wall Caused by weak spot in elastic fibers Pressure may rupture vessel
Hypertension
Abnormally high blood pressure Greater than 140/90
Hypotension
Abnormally low blood pressure Can lead to fainting
Autoregulation of blood flow within tissues
Adjusted by peripheral resistance while cardiac output stays the same Precapillary sphincters are stimulated to constrict or dilate, altering blood flow
Tunica externa (outer layer)
Anchors vessel to adjacent tissues
Blood pressure (BP)
Arterial pressure (mm Hg)
15, filtration
Calculate the net filtration pressure (NFP) with a blood hydrostatic pressure of 40 mm Hg and a blood colloid osmotic pressure of 25 mm Hg. Then determine if filtration or reabsorption occurs. NFP = ________ and results in a fluid ________.
Blood colloid osmotic pressure (BCOP)
Caused by suspended blood proteins that are too large to cross capillary walls
total peripheral resistance
Circulatory pressure Must overcome affected by Vascular resistance Blood viscosity Turbulence
Edema
May occur when the plasma concentration of protein is reduced, capillary hydrostatic pressure is elevated, and the capillary endothelium permeability goes up.
-Systolic pressure
Peak arterial pressure during ventricular systole
Chemoreceptor reflexes
Peripheral chemoreceptors in carotid bodies and aortic bodies monitor blood changes in pH, O2 and CO2 Coordinate cardiovascular and respiratory activities
Fenestrated capillaries
Permit rapid exchange of water and larger solutes Found in Choroid plexus Endocrine organs Kidneys Intestinal tract
Venous pressure
Pressure in the venous system
Capillary hydrostatic pressure (CHP)
Pressure within the capillary beds
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
Released by neurohypophysis (posterior lobe pituitary) Elevates blood pressure Reduces water loss at kidneys
Angiotensin II
Released in response to a decrease in renal blood pressure Stimulates Aldosterone production ADH secretion Thirst Cardiac output and peripheral vasoconstriction

-Diastolic pressure
• Minimum arterial pressure at end of ventricular diastole
