physiology 1 -blood

  1. blood pressure
    • generated by heart
    • ventricle contracts and pushes blood by force into adjacent artery
  2. 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
  3. blood pressure and hydrostatic pressure
    • physical forces of same quality
    • hydrostatic pressure can also be used for blood pressure
  4. highest blood pressure
    ARTERIES
  5. 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
  6. arterial pressure is
    • left heart
    • systemic
    • 98 mm Hg
  7. pulmonary pressure is
    • right heart
    • to lungs
    • 13 mmHg
  8. hemodynamic
    effects the absolute highest pressure is found in the larger artieris connected to the aorta
  9. blood pressure in arteries
    • oscillates between max systolic and min diastolic pressure
    • oscillation dies out in arterioles and not found in caps and veins
  10. mean pressure
    • replacement of systolic/diastolic oscillations by a continuous pressure
    • decreases gradually between aorta and vena cava
  11. systolic pressure definition
    • max pressure in sytole
    • normal 120 mm Hg
  12. diastolic pressure definition
    • min pressure during diastole
    • 80 mm Hg
  13. mean pressure definition
    • average pressure over whole cardiac cycle (continuous pressure)
    • 100 mmHg
  14. pulse pressure definition
    systolic - diastolic pressure = pulse pressure
  15. arterial sclerosis
    • high systolic
    • low diastolic
  16. calculation of mean pressure
    diastolic + 1/3 pulse pressure
  17. perfusion pressure
    • difference in pressure between the inlet side and the outlet side
    • (through all types of vessel)
  18. perfusion pressure in organs
    aortic pressure - vena cava pressure
  19. perfusion pressure of caps
    pressure at its inlet - pressure at its outlet
  20. 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
  21. 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)
  22. 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
  23. filling pressure at equilibrium
    filling pressure slightly higher(7 mm Hg) than barometric pressure
  24. restarting heart causes
    • arterial pressure to rise to 91 mmHg
    • venous pressure to decrease by 4 mm Hg
  25. higher arterial pressure at heart restarting b/c
    arteries have lots of elastic and muscle less in veins
  26. 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)
  27. 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
  28. compliance in veins
    • is much higher that arteries
    • veins cope better
  29. pressure reservoirs
    • arteries
    • accept high pressure during systole and hold it durning diastole
  30. Windkessel function
    arteries creates a continuous flow
  31. arteries
    "pressure vessels" of the circulatory system
  32. 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"
  33. 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
  34. Conclusion of Starling Experiment
    heart can work w/o cardiovascular center, autonomic control and humoral control
  35. 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
  36. 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
  37. 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
  38. Problems with Preload
    heart can become overstretched if preload is to large for a long time and will lose strenght instead of gaining it
  39. 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
  40. 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
  41. Pulmonary ciculation
    • arterial pressure vs. hydrostatic pressure
    • Zone 1, 2, and 3
  42. Hydrostatic pressure
    determined by the height of the blood column copared to the level of the heart
  43. 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
  44. 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
  45. 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
  46. Exercise affects on the Zones
    • Zone 1 - gets smaller
    • Zone 2 - increases
    • Zone 3 - increases (full lung perfusion)
  47. Venous side of circulation
    • low pressure - need larger diameter for adequate blood flow
    • +5 to -5 mmHg
  48. 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
  49. anatomy of vein
    • thinner muscular layer
    • less elastic
    • more flexible than arteries
    • easily adjust to varying blood volumes by changing shape
  50. volume vessels = veins
    • storage of blood
    • during exercise blood shifted to the arterial side from the venous side
  51. 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
  52. 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
  53. Respiratory pump Inspiration
    • intrathoracic pressure decreases and intraabdominal pressure increases blood sucked from abdomen to thorax
    • increased blood to lungs
  54. Respiratory Pump Expiration

    • increased pressure forces the blood to flow towards the heart
    • blood pushed from lungs
  55. 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)
  56. 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
  57. cardiac output is mainly controlled by local tissue flow
    heart responds and adjusts to the demands of tissues
  58. arterial pressure is controlled independently by either
    • local blood flow in tissues
    • or
    • control of the cardiac output

    • flow resistance is reduced
    • turbulent flow of plasma facilitates metabloic exchanges w/ tissues
  73. Cardiac Output
    • heart never empties completely
    • volume of blood ejected per min by one ventricle

    • autoregulation can be superseded by central control
  135. Local tissue controls
    • perfusion is controlled by diameter of vessels
    • diameter of vessels controlled by - local effects, neural activity, and hormonal signals
  136. 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
  137. Vasodilators

  143. Hyperaemia
    excessive blood volume in a tissue
  144. Raynaud Phenomenon
    • episodic color changes of fingers and toes in response to cold and stress
    • vasospasm - white fingers
    • compensatory vasodilation - red areas
  145. 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
  146. 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 metabolism
    • longer blood flow adjustment to meet metabolic tissue demands
  147. 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
  148. 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 flow
    • temporary increase of blood flow to cover the metabolic dept b/c of vasuclar occlusion
  149. 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
  150. 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
  151. 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
  152. 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
  153. 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
  154. 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
  155. Metabolic theory
    • metabolism of tissue controls its perfusion
    • slow but continuous
  156. 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
  157. 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
  158. Acute changes of blood flow
    • compensated w/in a few seconds
    • some deviations remain
  159. Long-term regulation of blood flow
    • over a period of hours to weeks
    • more precise
  160. changes between 50 - 250 mmHg cause only a small change in blood flow
  161. 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
  162. Reconstrustion of tissure vasculature
    • fast in young animals (days)
    • fast in cancerous tissue

    • heart failure - exercise intolerance
  205. Hypertension
