Blood Vessels and Circulation

Chapter 13

Pgs 389-403

Page 2: Blood vessels and circulation

Overview

• Introduction• The Anatomy of Blood

Vessels– Structure of vessel walls– Arteries– Capillaries – Veins

• Cardiovascular Physiology– Pressure – Resistance– Circulatory pressure

• Cardiovascular Regulation– The autoregulation of blood

flow– The neural control of blood

pressure and flow– Hormones and

cardiovascular regulation

Capillary Bed

Circulatory Physiology

• 2 factors affect blood flow through capillaries:– Pressure– Resistance

• Vascular resistance• Viscosity• Turbulence

Page 13: Blood vessels and circulation

Pressure

• Hydrostatic pressure• Circulatory pressure

– Overall pressure difference between base of aorta and entrance to RA

• Avg is 100 mm Hg– Needed to force blood along

– Divided into 3 components• Arterial pressure = blood pressure• Capillary pressure = pressure in caps• Venous pressure = pressure in veins

Page 14: Blood vessels and circulation

Resistance

• For blood to flow:– Circulatory pressure must be great enough to

overcome total peripheral resistance• But pressure low in veins so focus on arterial system (called

peripheral resistance)

• Neural and hormonal controls• Sources of peripheral resistance:

– Vascular resistance– Viscosity– Turbulence

Page 15: Blood vessels and circulation

Vascular Resistance

• Resistance of the blood vessels

• Most important factor is friction between the blood and the vessel walls– Friction depends on:

• Length• Diameter

Page 16: Blood vessels and circulation

Viscosity

• Resistance to flow caused by interactions among molecules and suspended materials in a liquid

• Viscosity of blood 5xs that of water

• Remains constant

Page 17: Blood vessels and circulation

Turbulence

• Blood flow smooth– Slowest flow near the walls; fastest at the

center

• High flow rates, irregular surface, sudden changes in vessel diameter = turbulent flow (swirls and eddies created)

• Slows the flow, increases resistance

Page 18: Blood vessels and circulation

Circulatory Pressure

• Where would you expect to find pressure the:– Highest?– Lowest?

• Arterial blood pressure– Systolic pressure– Diastolic pressure– Pulse pressure

Capillary Pressures

• Unlike other arteries because capillary walls permeable– Most reabsorbed– Some water and solutes enter lymphatic

vessels

• This continuous movement plays important role in maintaining homeostasis

Page 21: Blood vessels and circulation

Capillary Exchange

• 4 important functions– Maintain constant communication between plasma

and ISF– Speeds the distribution of nutrients, hormones, and

dissolved gases throughout tissues– Assists the movement of insoluble lipids and tissue

proteins that are impermeable– Flushes bacterial toxins and other chemical stimuli to

lymphoid tissue and organs that provide immunity from disease

Venous Pressure

• Veins become larger– Drops resistance, increases flow rate

• 2 factors overcome gravity– Muscular compression– Respiratory pump

Page 25: Blood vessels and circulation

Cardiovascular Regulation

• Tissue perfusion—tissue blood flow• Homeostatic mechanisms regulate

cardiovascular activity to ensure tissue perfusion meets demand for oxygen and nutrients

• 3 variable factors that influence tissue perfusion:– Cardiac output– Peripheral resistance– Blood pressure

Page 26: Blood vessels and circulation

Cardiovascular Regulation

• Cells become active = increased circulation to region • Goal of cardiovascular regulation is to ensure that these

blood flow changes occur:– At an appropriate time– In the right area– Without drastically altering blood pressure and blood flow to vital

organs

• Factors involved in regulation of cardiovascular function include:– Local factors– Neural mechanisms– Endocrine factors

Autoregulation of Blood Flow

• Precapillary sphincter – Respond automatically to alterations in local

environment• Increased or decreased levels of oxygen and/or

carbon dioxide

– Dilation caused by vasodilators– Contraction caused by vasoconstrictors

Page 29: Blood vessels and circulation

Neural Control of Blood Pressure (BP) and Blood Flow (BF)

• Cardiovascular (CV) centers in medulla responsible– Includes a cardioaccelerator center and cardioinhibitory center

• Vasomotor center (part of CV)– Primarily controls diameters of arterioles– Inhibition of center leads to vasodilation

• Will this increase or decrease peripheral resistance?

– Stimulation of center leads to vasoconstriction

• CV centers detect changes in tissue by monitoring:– Arterial blood (esp bp)– pH– Dissolved gas concentrations

Page 30: Blood vessels and circulation

Baroreceptor Reflexes

• Monitor degree of stretch in walls of expandable organs

• Located in:– Carotid sinuses– Aortic sinuses– Wall of RA

• Initiate baroreceptor reflexes– Autonomic reflexes that adjust CO and peripheral

resistance to maintain normal arterial pressures

Chemoreceptor Reflexes

• Respond to changes in carbon dioxide levels, oxygen levels, or pH in blood and CSF

• Found in:– Carotid bodies– Aortic bodies – Medulla (CSF)

Page 35: Blood vessels and circulation
Page 36: Blood vessels and circulation

Hormones and Cardiovascular Regulation

• Provides both short term and long term regulation

• E and NE immediately stimulate CO and peripheral vasoconstriction

• ADH, angiotensin II, EPO, and ANP– Affect long term regulation of blood volume
