HypertensionIV. Pulmonary circulationV. Heart failureVI. Circulatory shockCurrent Lecture2/17/14- Short term regulation of pressure- Local flow regulation- Muscle pumps- Long term regulation of pressure- Pulmonary circulation- Hypertension- When local concentration of oxygen is low, smooth muscle relaxes- When local concentration of oxygen is high, smooth muscle constricts- Arterioles have smooth muscle- Autoregulation of blood flowo Exercise increases blood flow to a muscle Get “extra” blood from veinso Smooth muscle in arterioles relaxes-causes more blood to flow and waste products to moveThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.o Heart will pump out this extra bloodo Decreased blood flow to gastrointestinal system and blood flow to muscles increases, blood flow to brain constant- Pressure in veins is about 10mmHg- There are valves in veinso Muscles squeeze veins, and blood is forced back (up) to the heart- Body fluid system for the long term regulation of pressureo Cardiac output –(+)-> arterial pressure –(+)-> renal loss of water –(-)-> ECF volume –(-)-> plasma volume –(-)-> venous return –(-)->cardiac output- Hypertension: chronic increased blood pressure (around 120mmHg)o Around 90% is essential hypertension No one knows how it happened- Pulmonary circulationo Flow = pressure/resistanceo Pressure = flow x resistanceo Only goes to the lungso Short vesselso Short distanceso Low resistance = low pressure (around 30 mmHg)o Apical parts of lungs get very little blood flow Exercise increases pressure Uses more lungs- Heart failureo Venous return exceeds cardiac outputo Blood leaks out-results in swelling Fluid leaks into the ECF Occurs in the lungs Causes congestion- Extra fluid in lungs Called congestive heart failure- Circulatory shocko When arteriole pressure is too low to profuse tissue and prevent damageo Waste products are not being removed fast enough o Hypovolemic Reduced volume When plasma volume is reduced and venous return is decreasing- Ex: hemorrhage- Cardiogenico Inability of heart to pumpo Can’t maintain normal arteriole pressure- Neurogenico Results from extreme anxiety or paino Massive parasympathetic
