    • High blood pressure results when blood moves through vessels at a rate higher than normal, often due to arterial plague • Ex: 140 / 90 mmHg • It is a silent killer because there are few symptoms • It can lead to a heart attack, stroke, or kidney failure

    hypertension

  • 90

    • It is a ballooning of a blood vessel • Atherosclerosis and hypertension can weaken a vessel and cause ballooning • The most commonly affected is the abdominal artery or the arteries leading to the brain

  • 58

    Volume of blood flowing through the entire vascular system

    cardiac output

  • 59

    Amount of blood in the body

    blood volume

  • 60

    Friction blood encounters as it moves through vessels in the systemic circulation; resistance hinges on three variables: blood viscosity, blood vessel length, blood vessel radius

    resistance

  • 61

    Thickness of blood (RBC count, # proteins)

    blood viscosity

  • 62

    Longer vessels have greater resistance

    blood vessel length

  • 63

    Smaller tubes, greater friction (more blood contacts vessel walls)

    blood vessel radius

  • 64

    • From aorta to capillaries, ___ (speed) decreases - Greater distance, more ___ to reduce speed - Smaller radii of arterioles and capillaries offers more ___ - Father from heart, the number of vessels and their total ___ become greater and greater - ___ are most significant point of control over peripheral resistance and flow

    blood velocity; friction; resistance; cross-sectional area; arterioles

  • 65

    The flow of blood back to the heart. Five basic mechanisms: • pressure gradient • central venous pressure • gravity • skeletal muscle pump • thoracic (respiratory) pump • cardiac suction

    venous return

  • 66

    Most important force in venous return

    pressure gradient

  • 67

    Venules to ___: point where the venae cavae enter the heart

    central venous pressure

  • 68

    ___ drains blood from head to neck

    gravity

  • 69

    ___ in the limbs; contracting muscle squeezes out of compressed part of vein

    skeletal muscle pump

  • 70

    Slight suction that draws blood into atria from vena cava

    cardiac suction

  • 71

    ___ (cluster of neurons in medulla) regulate vessel diameter

    vasomotor center

  • 72

    ___ > vasoconstriction > increased blood pressure

    increased sympathetic activity

  • 73

    ___ > vasodilation > decreased blood pressure

    decreased sympathetic activity

  • 74

    Stretch in response to increased arterial pressure

    baroreceptors

  • 75

    • Respond to changes in blood levels of O2, CO2, H+ • Increase blood return to lungs when deficient in O2 or when increased CO2 is sensed (pH)

    chemoreceptors

  • 76

    Hypothalamus, cerebral cortex relay info to medulla

    higher brain centers

  • 77

    The “salt-retaining hormone” body retains Na and water helps maintain blood volume and pressure

    aldosterone

  • 78

    • Makes collecting dust more permeable to water • Water in the tubular fluid reenters the tissue fluid and bloodstream rather than being lost in urine = less urine output

    antidiuretic hormone

  • 79

    • Secreted by atrial myocardium of the heart in response to high blood pressure • Severak actions result in the excretion of more salt and water in the urine, thus reducing blood volume and pressure • = MORE urine output

    atrial natriuretic hormone

  • 80

    • Tissues to regulate their own blood supply: if tissue is not getting adequate blood flow, wastes accumulate stimulating vasodilation which increases flow - Bloodstream delivers oxygen and removes metabolites - When wastes are removed, vessels constrict

    autoregulation

  • 81

    • Substances secreted by platelets, endothelial cells, and pervascular tissue to stimulate vasomotion 1. During trauma, inflammation, and exercise: • Histamine • Bradykinin • Prostaglandins • All stimulate vasodilation 2. Naturally in balance locally: • Prostacyclin and nitric oxide (vasodilators) • Endothelins (vasoconstrictor)

    vasoactive chemicals

  • 82

    • Growth of new blood vessel. Typically in tissues with long-term hypoxia; occurs in regrowth of uterine lining, around coronary artery obstructions, in exercised muscle, and malignant tumors

    angiogenesis

  • 83

    Any state in which cardiac output is insufficient to meet the body’s metabolic needs

    shock

  • 84

    Inadequate pumping of heart (MI)

    cardiogenic shock

  • 85

    Cardiac output is low because too little blood is returning to the heart

    low venous return

  • 86

    Most common type of shock • Loss of blood volume: trauma, burns, dehydration

    hypovolemic shock

  • 87

    • Extreme vasodilation and decreased peripheral resistance • Anaphylactic (histamine) • Venous pooling: long periods of standing, sitting, or widespread vasodilation

    vascular shock

  • 88

    • It’s build up of plaque in blood vessels • Plague that is stationary is called thrombus, and an embolus when it detached and can move to distant sites • It’s associated with a stroke, heart attack, and aneurysm

    atherosclerosis

  • 89

    • High blood pressure results when blood moves through vessels at a rate higher than normal, often due to arterial plague • Ex: 140 / 90 mmHg • It is a silent killer because there are few symptoms • It can lead to a heart attack, stroke, or kidney failure

    hypertension

  • 90

    • It is a ballooning of a blood vessel • Atherosclerosis and hypertension can weaken a vessel and cause ballooning • The most commonly affected is the abdominal artery or the arteries leading to the brain

    aneurysm

  • 91

    • This is also known as a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) • It usually occurs when a cranial artery is blocked or bursts • Part of the brain dies due to lack of oxygen • Symptoms: numbness of hand / face, difficulty speaking, inability to see in one eye

    stroke

  • 92

    ___ is a drug that dissolves blood clots

    t-PA

  • 93

    Usually a vein from the leg is taken and used to bypass a clogged artery

    bypass surgery

  • 94

    Wire mesh cylinder inserted into a clogged artery to hold it open

    stents
