-
blood pressure
- generated by heart
- ventricle contracts and pushes blood by force into adjacent artery
-
Hydrostatic pressure
- generated by static force
- 1. stretching of elastic elements of a compartement filled w/ fluid
- 2. weight of fluid - gravity - zero at top and highest force at the bottom
-
blood pressure and hydrostatic pressure
- physical forces of same quality
- hydrostatic pressure can also be used for blood pressure
-
highest blood pressure
ARTERIES
-
when would there be higher pressure than in the arteries
stenosis of aortic valve would cause the heart to have a higher blood pressure than arteries
-
arterial pressure is
- left heart
- systemic
- 98 mm Hg
-
pulmonary pressure is
- right heart
- to lungs
- 13 mmHg
-
hemodynamic
effects the absolute highest pressure is found in the larger artieris connected to the aorta
-
blood pressure in arteries
- oscillates between max systolic and min diastolic pressure
- oscillation dies out in arterioles and not found in caps and veins
-
mean pressure
- replacement of systolic/diastolic oscillations by a continuous pressure
- decreases gradually between aorta and vena cava
-
systolic pressure definition
- max pressure in sytole
- normal 120 mm Hg
-
diastolic pressure definition
- min pressure during diastole
- 80 mm Hg
-
mean pressure definition
- average pressure over whole cardiac cycle (continuous pressure)
- 100 mmHg
-
pulse pressure definition
systolic - diastolic pressure = pulse pressure
-
arterial sclerosis
- high systolic
- low diastolic
-
calculation of mean pressure
diastolic + 1/3 pulse pressure
-
perfusion pressure
- difference in pressure between the inlet side and the outlet side
- (through all types of vessel)
-
perfusion pressure in organs
aortic pressure - vena cava pressure
-
perfusion pressure of caps
pressure at its inlet - pressure at its outlet
-
systemic circulation of perfusion pressure
- aorta 98 mmHg - vena cava 5 mm Hg = 93 mmHg (perfusion pressure)
- decrease in pressure when goes away from heart
-
pulmonary circulation perfusion pressure
- pulmonary a. 13 mmHg - pulmonary v. 5 mmHg = 8 mmHg perfusion pressure
- decrease in pressure when goes away from heart
(8mmHg = 104 mm H20)
-
blood pressure eqilibriates
- when there is no pumping arterial side and venous side blood pressure equilibriates
- filling pressure slightly higher(7 mm Hg) than barometric pressure
-
filling pressure at equilibrium
filling pressure slightly higher(7 mm Hg) than barometric pressure
-
restarting heart causes
- arterial pressure to rise to 91 mmHg
- venous pressure to decrease by 4 mm Hg
-
higher arterial pressure at heart restarting b/c
arteries have lots of elastic and muscle less in veins
-
Compliance
- proportion of increase in volume and related increase in pressure
- change volume/change in pressure = compliance
- same amount of blood in arteries and veins but veins are better distensible(increase in blood with a lower increase in pressure)
-
volume of blood shifted from the venous side to the arterial side
- small decrease in pressure at the venous side
- larger increase at the arterial side
-
compliance in veins
- is much higher that arteries
- veins cope better
-
pressure reservoirs
- arteries
- accept high pressure during systole and hold it durning diastole
-
Windkessel function
arteries creates a continuous flow
-
arteries
"pressure vessels" of the circulatory system
-
veins
- Volume reserviors (75%)
- receive and release large volumes with only minor changes in pressure
- reservoir for adjusting to varying demands in blood volume (exercise, hyper and hypovolaemia)
- "volume vessels"
-
Starling Experiment
- heart - can respond to changes in the external conditions
- Afterload - increase resistance - left ventricle affected
- Preload - increase blood flow - both sides of heart affected - increased output of heart
- Conclusion - heart can change in seconds, both venticles independently able to compensate for deviations
-
Conclusion of Starling Experiment
heart can work w/o cardiovascular center, autonomic control and humoral control
-
After load part of Starling experiment
- increase resistance to blood flow by reducing diameter
- left ventricle responds by increasing the blood pressure
- blood flow return to almost initial value
-
Preload part of the Starling experiment
- increase blood flow into right atrium heart responds by increasing output
- caused increase in filling and resistance - increased retention of blood in the left ventricle
- increased the size of the ventricle
- longer cardiac muscle fibers generate more force of contraction
- increased force causes - left side increases pressure and maintain output
- right side increases the output in order to match the increased input
-
Preload
- right preload - generated by returing blood to the atrium
- left preload - generated by blood returning to left atrium
- presure measured in the atrium
- increase in preload = increase in stoke volume
-
Problems with Preload
heart can become overstretched if preload is to large for a long time and will lose strenght instead of gaining it
-
Afterload
- measure of workload of the heart generated by the peripheral tissues
- pressure is measured in the arteries that are directly connected to the ventricles
- aortic pressure - left afterload
- pulmonary artery - right afterload
- higher the afterload the higher the work on the heart(usually b/c of higher demand it tissues) ex. exercise
-
Hypertension - Afterload problem
- pathological condition - increase in afterload
- arterioles are dominated by vasoconstriction hormones
- causes increase in total peripheral resistance (TPR), then need to increase aortic pressure in order to overcome TPR
-
Pulmonary ciculation
- arterial pressure vs. hydrostatic pressure
- Zone 1, 2, and 3
-
Hydrostatic pressure
determined by the height of the blood column copared to the level of the heart
-
Zone 1
- min pressure to open vessels agains opposeing barometric pressure
- systolic pressure is lower than the required pressure
- barometris pressure keeps vessles closed
- no profusion (gas exchange)
- no blood flow
-
Zone 2
- blood pressure exceeds the required hydrostatic pressure only during the systole
- not during diastole
- resting - only profused during the systole
- intermittent blood flow
-
Zone 3
- both systolic pressure as well as diastolic pressure exceed required hydrostatic pressure
- resting - is always perfused during systole and diastole
- contiuous blood flow
-
Exercise affects on the Zones
- Zone 1 - gets smaller
- Zone 2 - increases
- Zone 3 - increases (full lung perfusion)
-
Venous side of circulation
- low pressure - need larger diameter for adequate blood flow
- +5 to -5 mmHg
-
Absolute pressure of veins
- higher or lower than blood pressure b/c of gravity
- blood below heart - weight of blood column adds to the blood pressure and increse the total pressure
- blood above hear - decreases total pressure
-
anatomy of vein
- thinner muscular layer
- less elastic
- more flexible than arteries
- easily adjust to varying blood volumes by changing shape
-
volume vessels = veins
- storage of blood
- during exercise blood shifted to the arterial side from the venous side
-
Skeletal muscle pump
- when increase in demand of blood from rest muscle pumps are needed
- valves on veins open towards the heart
- muscle contractions puts pressure on the vein and blood is pushed out of the segment and towards the heart
- distal valve closes and prevents flow in wrong direction
- muscle relaxes - decrease in pressure and proximal valves close to prevent back flow, distal valve opens for filling
-
shematic of skeletal muscle pump
- muscle contracts - distal valve closes - proximal valve open - decrease in blood
- muscle relaxes - proximal valve closes - distal valve open - increase in blood
-
Respiratory pump Inspiration
- intrathoracic pressure decreases and intraabdominal pressure increases blood sucked from abdomen to thorax
- increased blood to lungs
-
Respiratory Pump Expiration
- venous valves prevent backflow
- increased pressure forces the blood to flow towards the heart
- blood pushed from lungs
-
Central Venous pressure
- pressure in the right atrium
- controlled - output of the right ventricle, and blood volume returning from peripheral tissue
- normal : 0...5 mmHg
- min : -3...-5 mmHg
- max : 20...30 mmHg (b/c of pathological conditions like heart failure)
-
blood flow meets the needs of tissues
- active tissues need more blood than resting tissue
- microvessels monitor needs
- blood flow is controlled by metabolism and nerves
-
cardiac output is mainly controlled by local tissue flow
heart responds and adjusts to the demands of tissues
-
arterial pressure is controlled independently by either
- local blood flow in tissues
- or
- control of the cardiac output
-
controllable convection system
- for tansport purposes to maintain an appropriate environment
- nutrients, 02, co2, waste products, hormones, immological cells and proteins, water
-
driving force
- blood flow is the pressure difference between arteries and veins
- pressure is potential energy
-
Control and adjustment
throguh increase or decrease of cardiac output and resistance of vessels to meet varying demands
-
Arteries "pressure vessels"
- respond to volume changes with steep pressure changes (LOW compliance)
- mainly controled by arterioles - thick muscular wall and able to change diameter
- Poiseuille's law
-
Poiseuille's Law
changes in diameter have a strong effect on the resistance and consequently on the flow of blood
-
Veins "volume vessels"
- volume reservoirs
- at rest holds 2/3 of total blood volume
- most of volume in small veins and venules
- cope better
- can handle increase and decrease in blood with minor effects on venous pressure
-
diameter and velocity
- diameter decreases on the arterial side = velocity decreases
- increase number of vessels results in an increase in the total cross-sectional area
-
lowest velocity
- capillaries
- for better exchange
-
Stop and go flow
very energy consuming
-
Windkessel function
- less energy consumption
- circulatory system pressure and volume are stored during pumping stroke (systole)
- aorta -high pressure, increase blood volume, increase pressure
- used during refilling(diastole)
- aortic blood pressure (diastole) - stored blood leaves the aorta and the large arteries again
- Continuous flow
-
Continuous flow
is more energy efficient than stop and go flow
-
Laminar flow
- concentric layers of same velocity
- smooth flow
- low friction against walls b/c of low velocity of outer layers
- less energy required
- aorta, vena cava
-
Turbulent flow
- no layers, same velocity
- chaotic movements in and along the vessels
- high friction against the wall
- more energy required
- valves
-
Bolus flow of capillaries
- RBC become bell shaped to squeeze through vessels that have a smaller diameter than theirs
- aggregate
- move in single file(bolus flow) reducing viscosity of blood
- flow resistance is reduced
- turbulent flow of plasma facilitates metabloic exchanges w/ tissues
-
Cardiac Output
- heart never empties completely
- volume of blood ejected per min by one ventricle
- stroke volume times the number of strokes per minute = heart rate
- stroke volume x heart rate = cardiac output
-
heart rate varies
- 75 - 150 beats/min man
- 1000 beats/min humming bird
-
Stroke volume
- volume ejected by on ventricle during a systole
- end-diastolic volume - end-systolic volume = stroke volume
-
Stroke volume depends on
- preload, after load, and contractility
- 70 - 140 mL in man
-
Cardiac reserve
Cardiac output max / Cardiac output rest = cardiac reserve
man (25L/min) / (5L/min) = 5
-
-
Max Cardiac output
man 25 L/min
-
perfusion pressure
- driving force of flow
- independent on diameter of vessels
- inlet pressure - outlet pressure = perfusion pressure (change in pressure)
-
FLow
- is determined by perfusion pressure and the resistance of a vessel
- resistance depends on the diameter
-
Ohm's Law
- FLow = (change in pressure) / (resistance)
- small tube, low flow = high resistance
- large tube, high flow = low resistance
-
Poiseuille's Law
- resistance of a vessle is determined by
- diameter
- length
- fluid viscosity
- Radius- determines mainly the resistance of flow, only variable that changes
- (8 x velocity x 1) / (pi x r^4) basically 1/r^4
-
importance of raidus
- radius resistance
- 1 1/1
- 2 1/16
- 4 1/256
-
arterioles
- arterioles control the blood flow in tissues by adjusting their diameter
- highest resistance
-
Total Peripheral Pressure (TPR)
- total resistance to blood flow of all vessels of the systemic circulation
- (mean aortic pressure - vena cava pressure) / cardiac output = TPR
(systemic perfusion pressure) / cardiac output = TPR
mmHg / L min - units of TPR
-
Determining factors of TPR
- radius of vessels (power of 4)
- number of vessels
- length (minor influence)
- blood velocity
-
Ohm's Law
- Flow=change pressure / resistance
- same as
- cardiac output = perfusion pressure / TPR
- (perfusion pressure = arterial pressure - venouse pressure) neglect vena cava too low
- Cardiac output = blood pressure / TPR
- Blood Pressure = Cardiac output x TPR
-
Perfusion pressure = mean aortic pressure = blood pressure
-
Mean Aortic Pressure
determined by only the cardiac output and the TPR
-
Hermaticrit
per cent of blood that is cells
-
Higher hematocrite (PCV)
- higher the friction between cells, plasma and wall
- normal - 45%
- anemia - <45% about 14
- polycythemia - >45% about 65
-
Friction

- anemia - less friction
- normal - 3
- polycythermia - higher friction
-
Anemia

- low hermatocrit
- Low viscosity
-
Polycythemia
- high hermatocrit
- living in high altitude
- dehydatration
- impeding
- hihg viscosity
- might lead to cessation of flow in capillaries and cause blood clotting
-
Friction determines viscosity
-
small vessels the viscosity
- is lower than in larger vessels
- RBC in single file and not touching walls = less friction
-
small vessels the viscosity
- increases when velocity decreases
- formation of larger aggregates
- increase viscosity
- can lead to blood clotting
-
Ficks Law of diffusion
- exchange between capillaries and ECF
- CO2 diffuses 20 times better that O2 - b/c higher diffusion coeficient
- rate of diffusion = (diffusion coeficient x area x change in ICF & ECF) / (change in Distance)
- hypoxia and hypercapnia
- lower molecular weight = higher permeability
-
Hypoxia
- deficiency in O2
- more likely
- less diffusion
-
Hypercapnia
- excess in CO2
- less likely b/c high diffusion
-
Permeability of Capillary Membranes

- high rate of synthesis and decomposition of proteins
-
Permeability of Brain capillaries
- LOW
- protection of brain from toxic substances
-
Blood side filtration
blood pressure filters fluid and solutes into intersititium
-
Blood side resorption
- Oncotic pressure
- generated by blood proteins
- resorption of fluid and solutes from the intersititium back to blood
-
Intersititial Side filtration
- hydrostatic pressure
- push back into the blood
- opposes blood pressure
-
Intersititial side Resorption
- Oncotic pressure
- pulls from blood
- opposes blood oncotic pressure
-
Oncotic pressure
- resorption into side it is on
- only proteins of blood
-
Net Pressure
- sum of all 4 pressures
- direction is determined by polarity ( + filtration, - resorption)
- rate of transport is determined by its value
-
Equation for net pressure
(Pblood - Poncotic) - (Phydrostat - P oncotic) = net P
-
Oncotic pressure = constant
-
arterial side
- filtration into interstitium b/c blood pressure is higher than oncotic
- net pressure : 10 mmHg
- net 1 to venous side to more filtration
-
venous side
- resorption b/c oncotic pressure is higher than blood pressure
- Net pressure : - 9 mmHg
-
Liters of blood in 24 hrs
- ~7,000 liters a day
- 5 Liters per min
- 20 Liters to intersititium
-
Starling Equation
net pressure = hydrostatic pressure - oncotic pressure
-
Starling - non lung
- net pressure favors filtration into interstitium
- net flow from caps into interstitium
- net 1 mmHg on arterial side
-
Starling - Lung
- net pressure = hydrostatic pressure = oncotic pressure
- net pressure 10 times higher then other tissuses
- 10 mmHg
- higher permeability to plasma proteins
- protein concentration in ECF almost as high as in capillary blood
-
Lymph system - net pressure
causes a contiunuous flow of water, solutes and proteins from capillaries into the interstitium
-
Lymph system - Accumulation
in interstitium (water, solutes, and proteins) would be lethal w/in 24 hr
-
Lymph system -
maintains homeostasis by removing excess water, solutes and proteins from the interstitium
-
return of lymph
- through lymphatic vessels to the right ventricle
- catchment areas(lymph nodes)
- flows back to right atrium via ductus thoracicus or ductus lymphaticus dexter and joins venous blood
-
pig lymph vessels
- lymphocentrum lumbale
- iliosacrale
- inguinale profundum
-
terminal lymph capillaries
- cells are not connected, they overlap
- causing valves between intersititium and lymph duct
- fluid from interstitium is called lymph
- valves direct the lymph toward the heart
-
lymphatic vessels
- passage of high molecular weight substances possible
- valves prevent reverse flow and limit hydrostatic pressure
-
lymph vessel in intestinal villus
-
intrinsic pumping by lymph vessels
- stretch of lymph vessels by fluid
- contraction of smooth muscles
- pressure up to 50 mmHg
-
Extrinsic pumping by compression
- contraction of muscles
- movement of body parts
- arterial pulsations
- compression of tissues from outside
-
Lymphatic capillar pump
- movement of surrounding tissue enlarge and fill capillaries
- capillary valves prevent reverse flow and dircet lymph
-
Factors increaseing hydrostatic pressure in the ECF
- increases cap blood pressure
- decreases cap oncotic pressure (less into blood)
- increased cap permeability
- increased interstitial fluid protein
-
Lymph prevents
- accumulations of fluid in interstitium
- to much fluid would increase the distance between cap and cells = less exchange
- edema
-
Lymph transport capacity
- limited
- values above 1 mmHg flow cant increase and is at max value
- increase from -6 to 0 = 12 fold increase
- increase from 0 to 1 = 7 fold increase
-
Tissues and blood
- has bility to control its own local blood flow in proportion to its needs
- autoregulation can be superseded by central control
-
Local tissue controls
- perfusion is controlled by diameter of vessels
- diameter of vessels controlled by - local effects, neural activity, and hormonal signals
-
increase metabolic rate of tissue
increase release of vasodilators (high O2 consumption)- increase concentration of vasodilators (decrease in concentration of O2) - arteriol constriction and resistance - increase in blood flow and number of open caps - increase in blood flow and surface area of caps w/ decrease in diffusion distance - concentration of vasodilators decreases - negative feed back
-
-
increase in metabloic rate
- decrease in oxygen and nutrients
- increase in metabloic wastes
-
release of vasodilators
- increases blood flow through dilation of arterioles
- potassium
- CO2
- Adenosine
-
Negative feedback
- limits the increase in blood flow
- increase in O2
- decrease in concentration of vasodilators
- to much blood arterioles close
-
Intrinsic Control of Blood flow
- from inside = tissue itself
- critical tissue
- brain, heart, working skeletal muscle
-
Extrinsic control of blood flow
- from outside
- non-critical tissues
- kidney, stomach, intestines, liver, resting skeletal muscle
-
Hyperaemia
excessive blood volume in a tissue
-
Raynaud Phenomenon
- episodic color changes of fingers and toes in response to cold and stress
- vasospasm - white fingers
- compensatory vasodilation - red areas
-
active or functional hyperaemia
- metabolism in tissue increases (exercise) cells produce more vasodilators (K, CO2, adenosine)
- increased vasodilators - aterioles dilate, increase blood flow
- vasodilation continues - removal of vasodilators by blood meets production of tissue cells, production and removal match, arterioles remain in opening stage, tissue has increased volume of blood
-
Active hyperaemia
- normal blood flow - supply in and demand match
- metabolism increases - decrease in supply of O2 and relief of wastes
- feedback on arterioles - causes dilation, increase blood flow, now supplied at higher level
- increased profusion based on increase in metabolismlonger blood flow adjustment to meet metabolic tissue demands
-
reactive Hyperaemia
- blockage of blood flow - no supply and relief of cells stops
- increase in waste and vasodilators increases
- vasodilators have no effect b/c of the block
- when block is removed blood perfuses the tissue through dilated arteries
- vasodilators are washed away w. increased blood flow, arterioles constict
- balance
-
reactive hyperaemia
- interruption of blood flow - cessation of O2 supply and relief of wastes
- increase in vasodilators, blockage removed more blood flow through dilated arterioles, vasodilator level in interstitial fluid returns to normal and supply and relief levels are normal
- increased perfusion caused by a decrease in blood flowtemporary increase of blood flow to cover the metabolic dept b/c of vasuclar occlusion
-
After ischemia
- blood flow usually returns to normal within minutes
- shorter time w/ blood loss = resupply w/ less blood flow for a shorter length of time
- longer time w/ blood loss = resupply w/ higher blood flow for a longer period
-
response to sudden decrease in blood pressure
- perfusion pressure decreases sharply
- blood flow initially decreases too then returns to inital value in a short period of time
- steep decrease in perfusion pressure causes steep decrease in blood flow
- returns it almost to initial value
-
response to sudden increase to blood pressure
- perfusion pressure increases steeply
- blood flow initially increases too, returns almost the initial value within a chort period of time
- steep increase in perfusion causes initially an increase blood flow, deviation is compensated in seconds
-
Autoregulation of the brain
- wide range of perfusion pressue 60 - 190 mmHg
- corresponding blood changes are very small
- if perfusion pressure drops below 60 mmHg = critical level, bad
-
Principles of autoregulation after a pressure increase
- blood pressure increases (no change in metabolic rate)
- blood flow increases
- number of open capillaries increases
- increase in O2
- decrease in vasodilator concentration
- increase in arteriolar vasoconstriction
- increase in vascular resistance
- negative feedback
-
Principles of autoregulation after a pressure increase
- metabolic control mechanism also accounts for autoregulation
- increase or decrease of the cencentration of vasodilators in the EFC changes the vascular resistance and thus the blood flow
-
Metabolic theory
- metabolism of tissue controls its perfusion
- slow but continuous
-
Myogenic theory
- increase of blood pressure streches the muscle fibers in the vascular wall
- muscle fibers respond with contraction
- responds faster
- protects the capillaries from excessively high blood pressures
-
limitaton to coronary blood flow
- diastole - cardiac muscle is best supplied w/ nutrients (mostly from left ventricle), longer that systole
- shorten diastole - increased heart rate, less supply, limits max achievable heart rate
-
Acute changes of blood flow
- compensated w/in a few seconds
- some deviations remain
-
Long-term regulation of blood flow
- over a period of hours to weeks
- more precise
-
changes between 50 - 250 mmHg cause only a small change in blood flow
-
Long term regulation through tissue vasculatity
- Low pressure - increase in size and number of vessels
- increase in metabloism has same effect as low pressure
- high pressure - decrease in siz and number of vessels

-
Sympathetic nerve - effect on cardiovascular system
- norepi

- location - carotid and aortic arch
- nerves - carotid sinus (glossopharyng), aortic arch (vagus)
-
Arterial Baroreceptor Reflex
- decrease in mean aortic blood pressure
- decrease in baroreceptor activity
- cardiovascular center in medualla oblongata
- increase sympathetic output - more Norepi
- Arterioles (alpha receptors)....... Ventricles(beta1 receptors)................SA node (Beta 1)
- increase vasoconstriction.......... increase force of contraction............... increase Ht rate

- (cant measure pressure)
-
arterial baroreceptor reflex - blocking the pressure receptors
- inhibiting reflex causes wide variations in arterial blood pressure
- there is no long term adjustment
- standing up quickly from a lying position causes a drop in the pressure b/c of a change in the distribution of blood
- barorecptor responds immediately to change and returns blood pressure to its normal level
-
Arterial barorecptor reflex
- afferent fibers of para
- receptors located in carotid arteries and aortic arch
- responds to stretch of arterial wall (baro = pressure)
- high speed of response

- decrease volume receptor activity
- cardiovascular center in medulla oblongata
- increase sym & decrease para
- increase renin, increase in ADH, increase in thirst
- increase Na resporption, increase water resportion, increase water intake
- increase in blood volume
-
short-term and long-term effects of atrial volume receptor reflex
- immediate - use reserve venous volume in vessels = decrease in systemic volume (vasoconstriction, increase in cardiac activity) can use the 20L of fluid in ECF to supplement blood volume
- Long term - secure resources and replace losses (thirst, reduced Na excretion, stop urin production)
-
Atrial volume receptor reflex
- afferent fibers of para
- receptors located in right and left atrium

- high speed response
- frequency of AP is proportional to the filling of the atria (low volume = low pressure = low frequency)
- immediate adaptation via sym and para activity
- long- term adjustment (kidneys)
-
decrease in blood volume
- shift from venous to arterial to maintain pressure
- decrease in atrial pressure causes response from atrial volume receptor response
- sever blood loss - systemic pressure cant be maintained arterial baroreceptors respond too
-
defense reaction
- activates sym
- increase cardiac activity - increase in blood pressure, vasoconstriction, pale skin, dry mouth, mydriasis
- hormones - ADH, angiotensin, corticotropin
- central control - overpowers non-central control, baroreceptor reflex set to an elevated leve
-
initiation of exercise
- decrease in supply and relief cells by blood
- dilation of arterioles in skeletal muscles
- decrease in TPR
- decrease in systemic blood pressure
- decrease in baroreceptor activity
- increase sym, decrease para
- increase cardiac output (increase in CO, increase respiration and muscle pump)
-
blood transport by muscle pump
- contraction increases blood pressure in veins
- proximal values open - blood pushed to heart
- relation - closes proximal valves, distal open and fill
-
blood transport by respiratory pump
- inspiration - decrease in pressure, pull veins from abdomen, lungs expand and fill w/ blood
- expiration - incease pressure and blood goes to heart
-
limitations to exercise ability
- heavy exercise - CO can increase 4-5 times resting level (RESERVE CAPACITY)
- CO limits exercise
- no limitation of respiratory system, or metabloism of skeletal muscles
- heart failure - exercise intolerance
-
Hypertension
- long term increase in blood pressure for a give output
- increase constriction of arterioles - increase in vascular resistance
- heart is forced to generate higher pressure
- occurs in pulmonary or sytemic circulation or both
-
Primary hypertension
- occurs w/o underlying reasons
- frequent in humans (~95%)
- rare in animals
-
Secondary hypertension
- b/c of another primary disease
- Dog - renal failure and hyperadrenocorticism, angiotensin causes vasoconstriction and aldosterone via NaCl retention an increase in blood volume, causing increase in blood pressure
- Cat - renal failure and hyperthyroidism, thyroxine enhaces the effects of epinephrine and nore, increases blood pressure
-
local edema
impressions remain after crushig the edema
-
Puerperal Gaseous Edema
- from clostridium novyi infection
- anaerobic bacteria - produces toxins and gas, toxins cause edema (increase profusion of fluid)
-
eyelid edema
- bilateral edema - after long time in bed in horizontal position
- insect bite
-
Edema definition, Aetiology, Pathology
- clinically noticilble excess of intersitial fluid
- imbalance between filtration and resorption + lymph
- increase cap hydrostatic pressure (out of caps)
- decrease in plasma oncotic pressure (into caps)
- lesion of capillary cell membrane
- decrease of lymph flow
-
Exchange in capillary bed
- arterial - hydrostatic pressure > oncotic pressure
- out of cap into interstitium, filtration
- venous - oncotic pressure > hydrostatice pressure
- into cap from interstitium, resorption
-
normal dynamics of cpa bed
- 20 L per day are filtered from plasma into EFC
- 18 L return to plasma
- 2 L (10%) return to the circulation by lymphatic system
-
imbalance in filtration and resorption
- increase in venous side
- decrease plasma oncotic pressure (hypoproteinemia)
- filtration exceeds resorption plus lymph flow = Edema
-
3 ways to limit edema
- 1. filtration limited- increase interstitial hydrostatic pressure
- 2. filtration reduced - decrease of interstitial oncotic pressure
- 3. lymph flow promoted - increase of interstitial hydrostatic pressure
-
increase venous pressure - edema
- cardiac failure - left: lung(fluid filtered into alveoli and air spaces, cough of frothey fluid) right: abdomen
- increase venous pressure
- increase cap hydrosatice pressure
- increase filtration
- increase interstitial fluid volume (edema)
- increase intersitial fluid pressure
- increase lymph flow
- decrease concentration on interstitial protein
-
Hypoproteinaemia = edema
- malnutrition - Kwashiorkor, humand ascites, fluid in abdomen dont get enough protein, protien holds water, no absorption, use own body protein
- loss of proteins - nephrotic syndrome (glomerula permeable to proteins), sever burns (loss of through damaged capillaries) decrease in protein concentration of blood
- decrease protein concentration
- decrease blood oncotic pressure
- increase filtration Net
- increase interstitial fluid volume = edema
- increase interstitial fluid pressure
- increaser lymph flow
- decrease intersitital protein concentration
-
Hypoxia = edema
- mountain sickness - limited O2 transport capacity, 8-24 hr after first arrival(>3,000m)
- decrease O2
- increase areriolar dilation in brain
- increase cap blood pressure
- increase filtration
- increase intersitial fluid volume = edema
- increase fluid pressure
- increase lymph
- decrease intersitial protein concentration
-
Lymphatic obstruction = edema
- lymphedema - tumor, location depends on tumor
- parasites, disease - microfilaria(obstruct lymph vessels), elephantiasis, tuberculosis, pneumonia
- lymphatic obstruction
- decrease lymph flow
- increase interstitial protein concetration
- increase filtration
- increase intersitial fluid volume = edema
- increse interstitial fluid pressure
-
Haemorrhage
decrease - blood volume, central venous pressure, cardiac output, arterial pressure, haematocrit, nutrients, O2
-
Haemorrhage - immediate control mechanism
- goal - return arterial blood pressure Survival
- Sym and para
- baroreceptors
- volume receptors
- CNS ischemic mechanism
- Chemoreceptors for O2
-
Hemorrhage - intermediate control
- Conservation
- vasoconstriction - decrease in renal flow, renin, decrease in loss of NaCl, antiburetic released
- vasodilation - stress relaxation mechanism, protect against too high blood pressure,
- (caonstiction maybe to stong and cut off circulation to an area so that is why dilation is needed so that tissues done die from full constiction)
- Capillary fluid shift - low cap hydrostatic pressure, fluid shift from interstitium to blood
-
Hemorrhage - long term
- restoration
- renal body fluid controls
- decrease in renal blood flow
- renin release
- thirse - baroreceptor reflex, atrial volume reflex, hypothalumus (1-2days) thirst
- replacement of blood components - plasma proteins (liver, several days), blood cells (bone marrow, erythorpoetin) weeks
-
effectivnesss of renin-angiotensin system
- ex - blood pressure at 50 mmHg
- pressure compensation in min
- w/o angiotensin and renin - 60mmHg
- w/ 83 mmHg
-
Ciculatory shock
generalized inadquacy of blood flow throughout the body to the extent that the tissues are damaged b/c of too little flow
-
ciculatory shock clinical signs
- vasoconstriction - cold limbs (exception : septic shock), pale skin
- Hypoxia - cyanosis, (blue tonguem blue conjunctivae)
- Low blood pressure - pulse thread like, oliguria (reduced urin formation)
- Sypathetic activity - mydriasis (dilation of the pupil)
-
Hypovolaemic shock
external or internal bleeding
-
tramatic shock
burn, sever bruises - loss of plasma
-
Dehydration shock
- loss of body fluid
- diarrhea, peritonitis
-
anaphylatic shock
allergic reaction - loss of plasma
-
toxic shock
- vasomotor paralysis - smooth m. of vessels
- produced from bacteria
-
Stage 1 : Non Progressive
centralisation of blood circulation
- depending on severity - full recovery w/o treatment
- vasoconstriction by ANS, Catecholamines (nor and epi), hormones reduces blood supply to non-vital organs
- heart - barorecptor reflex (lower AP b/c of lower aortic pressure)
- kidney - renin...angiotensin
- hypothalamus - ADH (vasopressin)
- suprarenal gland - cateholamines
- Increase in carbonic acid - decrease in pH = death of tissues
- dogs - 40 % of blood loss
-
Stage 2 : Progressive Stage
Decentalization of blood circulation
- depending on severity - will fully recover possible with treatment
- nerval depression - O2 deficiency affects CNS : clouding of consciousness
- Cardiac depression - decrease arterial pressure, decreases coronary cirulation
- Vasomotor failure - O2 deficiency, nutrient deficiency, increase of metabolic wates in tissues : damage to cap membranes(arteriole smooth m. cant constrict), plasma shift to interstitium, decrease in blood volume, increase in viscosity, danger of thrombus
-
Stage 3 : Irreversible Stage
Decompensation of blood circulation
- No return possible - regardless of treatment = eventual death
- cardiac failure and failure of cardiovascular centers
- too much tissue damage
- too many destructive enzymes released into body fluids
- too much acidosis has developed
- even restoration of blood pressure in an irreverisble shock can't prevent death
