23
Q

This is the accumulation of Co2, H, K, eicosanoids, adenosine, bradykinin, and NO. Which controls intrinsic control of the arterioles

A

active hyperemia

24
Q

What are the two responses of flow autoregulation

A

myogenic response

reactive hyperemia

25
Q

This is when some arteriolar smooth muscle responds to increase stretch caused by an increased pressure by contracting to a greater extent

A

myogenic response (flow autoregulation

26
Q

This the response to cessation of blood flow

A

reactive hypermia (flow autoregulation)

27
Q

Sympathetic stimulation (NE) of these receptors causes vasoconstriction to decrease blood flow to that location

A

alpha-adrenergic

28
Q

Sympathetic stimulation (E) of these receptors leads to vasodilation to cause an increase in blood flow to that location

A

beta-adrenergic

29
Q

Where are the alpha receptors located

A

vessels

30
Q

Where are beta receptors located

A

atraia and ventricles

31
Q

What are the four extrinsic controls of the arterioles

A

sympathetic nerves
parasympathetic nerves
non-cholinergic, non-adrenergic autonomic neurons
hormones

32
Q

What are the two paracrine effects of the arterioles

A

vasodilators

vasoconstrictors

33
Q

What are two vasodilators with paracrine function

A

endothelium derived relaxing factor; EDRF

prostacyclin

34
Q

What is a vasoconstrictor with paracrine effects

A

endothelin-1

35
Q

What are the two endothelial controls on the arterioles

A

paracrine effects

flow induced arterial vasodilation

36
Q

Diversity among signals that influence contraction/relaxation in circular smooth muscle implies what

A

a diversity of receptors and transduction mechanisms

37
Q

What are the two locally controlled organs

A

brain and heart

38
Q

What are four the neurally controlled organs

A

skin

GI
kidney

39
Q

When do the skin and muscles become under local control

A

40
Q

Capillaries lack this

A

smooth muscle

41
Q

What detrained the volume of blood each capillary receives

A

contraction/relaxation of circular smooth muscles in upstream met arterioles and pre-capillary sphincters

42
Q

There are many, many capillaries, each with slow-moving blood in it, resulting in what

A

adequate time and surface area for exchange between the capillary blood and ISF

43
Q

This is the movement of fluid and solutes out of the blood

A

filtration

44
Q

This is the movement of fluid and solutes into the blood

A

absorption

45
Q

These two things favor fluid movement out of the capillary

A

capillary hydrostatic pressure (PC)

osmotic force due to interstitial fluid protein concentration (Ħif)

46
Q

These two things favor movement into the capillary

A
