7675555032Resistanceforce that opposes blood flow44
7675559803Vessel length, the longer the vessel the ---------- the resistancegreater45
7675562659Viscosityfluid''s resistance to flow46
7675568241Larger vesselgreatest resistance along the wall of the vessel (friction), less resistance in the center = faster flow47
7675572920smaller vessellfriction slows most of the blood, the smaller the radius, the greater the resistance48
7675581261What structures are especially important in controlling peripheral resistance?arterioles49
7675591257As the left ventricle contracts it pushes blood into the aorta and the aorta stretches, this is called thesystolic pressure ~ 120 mm HHg50
7675601845as the left ventricle relaxes, the aortic SL valve closes, the stretched aorta reccoils which moves blood forward (elastic rebound) and creates a pressure wave or pulsediastolic pressure ~ 80 mmhg51
7675604611BP declines as it travelsfarther from the heart52
76756533903 ways blood in the veins returns to the heartrespiratory pump (abdominal pressure increases and squeezes the veins) muscular pump (muscles contract and relax around deep veins milk the veins) and sympathetic (causes veins to constrict)53
7675665042BP=co x R (cardiac output and resistance)54
76756729373 main factors that affect BPCO, R, and Blood volume55
7675677262Neural controls regulate blood pressure by:changing the peripheral resistance (altering vessel diameter)56
7675688285cadiovascular center in medulla composed of:vasomotor center cardioaccelatory center cardioinhibitory center57
7675690292Vasomotor Centertransmits action potentials to vasomotor fibers (sympathetic fibers). MAINLY EFFECTS ARTERIOLES in general: increases sympathetic activity increases vasoconstriction aned increases BP affected by inputs from baroreceptors, chemoreceptors, and brain58
7675710996Baroreceptorssensory receptors in walls of blood vessels, respond to being stretched59
7675715751baroreceptors located in:aortic arch, carotid sinuses60
7675726284Chemoreceptorsdetect levels of CO2, O2, and pH in arterial blood but are more important in regulating respiratory rate61
7675733026Chemoreceptors located in:carotid bodies and aortic bodies near baroreceptors62
7675736562Braincortex and hypothalamus affect the medulla, ex. sympathetic activation affects cardoaclatory and vasomotor centers63
7675743553Hormonal controlsnorepinephrine and epinephrine released by adrenal medulla in response to sympathetic stimulation, general vasoconstriction of vessels64
7675960273Angiotensin IIin blood, causes vasoconstriction65
7675963516Aldosteronefrom the adrenal cortex, reabsorbs Na+(H2O) which helps increase blood volume66
7675975486Atrial natiuretic peptide ANPfrom specialized cardiacc muscle cells in atria of heart, inhibits aldosterone which decreases blood voume67
7675984816Anti diuretic hormone (ADH)secreted from posterior pituitary, helps rreabsorb H2O into the kidneys, which increases blood volume ancauses vasocontriction68
7675993095Renal Controlskidneys help control BP by keeping the blood volume stable69
7676017769How do organs and tissu control the amount of blood flow to them?autoregulation of capillary beds70
7676029241Physical changes : myogenic responsehelps protect fragile capillaries from force of high BP71
7676037359Chemical changes: from WBC'ss, smooth muscle, endothelium, etcchemicals that directly affect smooth muscle, or indirectly cause endothelial cells to release nitric oxide (causes vasoconstriction or dilation)72
7676060344Hydrostatic pressure is higher at arteriole end,lower atvenule end73
7676063487Osmotic Pressurepressure needed to stop flow of solvent across semi-permeable membrane74
76760768593 main components of the lymphatic systemlymph, lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes75
7676079245Lympha protein containing interstitial fluid that is formed in capillary beds, once fluid enters and is carried i lymphatic vessels, it is called lymph76
7676087403lymphatic vesselsdrainage vessels, one way back to the heart77
7676104138R lymphatic duct drainsthe R upper limb, R thorax, and R side of head78
7676107697Thoracic duct drainsthe rest of the body (starts as a sac in the upper lumbar area called the cysterna chyli)79
7676116966Each lymphatic duct drains into thevenous blood at the subclavian/internal jugular vein junction80
7676119516Lymph NodesFilter lymph before it enters the blood81
7676132096Lymphatic vessels move by muscle movement, thoracic pressure, and valves which is like venous transport but also usesperistalsis for transport82
7676134807Lactealsspecialized lymph capillaries located in intestinal villi, drains chyle from intestine83
7676153241Body defends against microbes by:inflammation,phagocytes, and lymphocytes84
7676158884B lymphocytes becomeplasma cells that make antibodies85
7676162940T lymphocytes attackforeign cells (cancer, viruses)86
7676168285Lymphoid tissue is made of mainlyreticular CT87
7676174062Lymphoid follicestightly packed spheres, mainnly B cells88
7676183034Lymph node ssinusesendothelial lined channels spanned by reticular fibers and macrophages89
7676187107lymph node outer capsulehas inwward extensions called trabeculae90

7676194334trabecular sinusesin cortex next to trabeculae92
7676203336Largest lymphoid organspleen93
