Chapter 43 Review of Hemodynamics
Review of Hemodynamics • Overview of the circulatory system • Delivery of oxygen, nutrients, hormones, electrolytes, and other essentials to the cells • Removal of carbon dioxide, metabolic wastes, and other detritus from cells • Two major divisions • Pulmonary circulation and systemic circulation • Regulation of cardiac output • Regulation of arterial pressure (AP)
Overview of the Circulatory System • Components of the circulatory system • Arteries • Arterioles • Capillaries • Venules • Veins
Overview of the Circulatory System • Distribution of blood • 9% in the pulmonary circulation • 7% in the heart • 84% in the systemic circulation • What makes blood flow? • Force that drives flow is greater than resistance • How does blood get back to the heart?
Fig. 43–3. Distribution of pressure within the systemic circulation.
Regulation of Cardiac Output • Determinants of cardiac output • Average adult, 5 L/min • Cardiac output = Heart rate × Stroke volume • Heart rate • Controlled by the autonomic nervous system • Stroke volume • Myocardial contractility • Cardiac afterload • Cardiac preload • Preload • End-diastolic volume or end-diastolic pressure • Afterload • Arterial pressure the left ventricle must overcome to eject blood
Regulation of Cardiac Output • Control of stroke volume by venous return • Starling’s law of the heart • Factors that determine venous return • Systemic filling pressure • Auxiliary muscle pumps • Resistance to flow between peripheral vessels and the right atrium • Right atrial pressure • Starling’s law and maintenance of systemic-pulmonary balance
Fig. 43–5. The Starling relationship between myocardial fiber length and contractile force.
Fig. 43–6. Systemic-pulmonary imbalance that develops when the output of the left and right ventricles is not identical.
Regulation of Arterial Pressure • Overview of control system • AP = Peripheral resistance × Cardiac output • Arterial pressure is regulated by: • Autonomic nervous system (ANS) • Renin-angiotensin system • Kidneys
Regulation of Arterial Pressure • Steady-state control by the ANS • Regulates AP by adjusting cardiac output (CO) and peripheral resistance • Rapid control by the ANS: the baroreceptor reflex • Constriction of nearly all arterioles • Constriction of veins • Acceleration of heart rate
Regulation of Arterial Pressure • Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system • Constriction of arterioles and veins (angiotensin II) • Retention of water by the kidney (aldosterone)
Regulation of Arterial Pressure • Renal retention of water • Postural hypotension (orthostatic hypotension) • Natriuretic peptides • Protect the cardiovascular system in the event of volume overload • Three principal members • Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) • B (brain)-natriuretic peptide (BNP) • C-natriuretic peptide (CNP)
