  1. Chapter 15 Blood Flow and the Control of Blood Pressure

  2. About this Chapter • How various blood vessels are constructed and role in circulation • Components of "blood pressure", role and measurement • Product exchange at the capillary beds • Lymph vessels, distribution and role in circulation • How blood pressure and circulation are regulated • Key components of cardiovascular disease

  3. The Blood Vessels and the Cardiovascular System • Arteries: blood from heart • Strong & Elastic • Conduct blood to capillaries • Sphincters • Capillaries: exchange with cells • Veins • Return blood to heart • Valves

  4. The Blood Vessels and the Cardiovascular System Figure 15-1: Functional model of the cardiovascular system

  5. Make Up of Blood Vessels: Arteries and Arterioles • Endothelium • Elastic tissues • Rebounds • Evens flow • Smooth muscles • Fibrous tissue • Tough • Resists stretch Figure 15-2: Blood vessels

  6. Make Up of Blood Vessels: Capillaries • Endothelium: one cell thick • Continuous • Fenestrated • Basement membrane

  7. Make Up of Blood Vessels: Capillaries Figure 15-16: Types of capillaries

  8. Make Up of Blood Vessels:Veins and Venules (Contrasted to Arteries) • Thinner walls • Larger diameter • Closer to skin • Less muscle • Less elastic Figure 15-3: Metarterioles

  9. Angiogenesis: Growth of New Blood Vessels • Normal body maturation and growth • Endometrium • Endurance training • Abnormal growth to service cancerous tissue • Wound repair and consequences • Failure to regrow in heart tissues after heart attack • Failure to regrow in brain after stroke

  10. Blood Pressure: Generated by Ventricular Contraction • Pulsatile: surges in arteries • Elastic rebound evens & maintains pressure

  11. Blood Pressure: Generated by Ventricular Contraction Figure 15-4: Elastic recoil in the arteries

  12. Blood Pressure (BP): Measurements • "Blood pressure" • Systolic over diastolic • About 120/80 mmHg • Sphygmomanometer • "Estimate of pressure" • Korotkoff sounds

  13. Blood Pressure (BP): Measurements Figure 15-7: Measurement of arterial blood pressure

  14. More Blood Pressures: Pulse and Mean Arterial Pressures • Pulse pressure = Systolic–Diastolic • Mean arterial pressure (MAP) = Diastolic + 1/3 pulse pressure

  15. More Blood Pressures: Pulse and Mean Arterial Pressures Figure 15-5: Pressure throughout the systemic circulation

  16. Factors Controlling MAP : The Driving Pressure for Blood Flow • Blood volume • Cardiac output • Resistance • Distribution

  17. Factors Controlling MAP : The Driving Pressure for Blood Flow Figure 15-10: Factors that influence mean arterial pressure

  18. Antihypertensive Drug Classes: Action Sites  CardiacOutput Total Peripheral Resistance Blood Pressure = -Blockers ACE Inhibitors AT1 Blockers Direct renin inhibitors 1-Blockers 2-Agonists All CCBs Diuretics Sympatholytics Vasodilators -Blockers Non-DHP CCBs Diuretics Antihypertensive Drug Classes ACE = angiotensin-converting enzyme; AT1 = angiotensin type 1; CCBs = calcium channel blockers; DHP = dihydropyridine

  19. Classes of Antihypertensive Drugs Aldosterone receptor antagonists (blockers) Angiotensin II antagonists Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors -Blockers 1-Selective Nonselective -Blockers -1/-2 -1 predominant / Intrinsic sympathomimetic activity Calcium channel antagonists Nondihydropyridine Dihydropyridine Central 2 agonists Direct renin inhibitors Direct vasodilators Diuretics Thiazide-type Loop-type Potassium-sparing Ganglionic blockers

  20. Arteriole Resistance: Control of Local Blood Flow • Myogenic auto regulation • Paracrines: • Hyperemia • Sympathetic nerves – CNS

  21. Distribution of Blood in the Body Organs Figure 15-13: Distribution of blood in the body at rest

  22. Capillary Blood Flow: Greatest Total Cross Sectional Area • Lowest Velocity • Hydrostatic pressure drops Figure 15-17: The velocity of flow depends on the total cross-sectional area

  23. Capillary Exchange: Colloidal Osmotic Pressure is Constant • Proteins stay in capillary • Water, oxygen, glucose – move out • CO2, N wastes, water – move in • Bulk flow out on arterial side, in on venous side

  24. Capillary Exchange: Hydrostatic Pressure Declines • High on arterial side – bulk flow out • Low on venous side – bulk flow in • Fenestrations &/or leaky joints speed exchange Figure 15-18a: Fluid exchange at the capillary

  25. Net Out Flow Into ECF • Net filtration – net absorption = net out flow • About 2 L/day collected by lymph vessels Figure 15-18b: Fluid exchange at the capillary

  26. Lymphatic System: Structure and Roles (overview) • Lymphatic structures • Capillaries with valves • Lymph vessels • Lymph nodes & organs • Immune defense: lymphocytes • Transport of fats • Collects excess ECF • Returns to plasma • Edema

  27. Lymphatic System: Structure and Roles (overview) Figure 15-19: The lymphatic system

  28. Lymphatic System: Overview • Consists of two semi-independent parts • A meandering network of lymphatic vessels • Lymphoid tissues and organs scattered throughout the body • Returns interstitial fluid and leaked plasma proteins back to the blood • Lymph – interstitial fluid once it has entered lymphatic vessels

  29. Figure 20.2a

  30. Lymphatic System: Overview Figure 20.1a

  31. Lymphatic Capillaries • Similar to blood capillaries, with modifications • Remarkably permeable • Loosely joined endothelial minivalves • Withstand interstitial pressure and remain open • The minivalves function as one-way gates that: • Allow interstitial fluid to enter lymph capillaries • Do not allow lymph to escape from the capillaries

  32. Lymphatic Capillaries • During inflammation, lymph capillaries can absorb: • Cell debris • Pathogens • Cancer cells • Cells in the lymph nodes: • Cleanse and “examine” this debris • Lacteals – specialized lymph capillaries present in intestinal mucosa • Absorb digested fat and deliver chyle to the blood

  33. Lymphatic Trunks • Lymph is delivered into one of two large trunks • Right lymphatic duct – drains the right upper arm and the right side of the head and thorax • Thoracic duct – arises from the cisterna chyli and drains the rest of the body

  34. Lymph Transport • The lymphatic system lacks an organ that acts as a pump • Vessels are low-pressure conduits • Uses the same methods as veins to propel lymph • Pulsations of nearby arteries • Contractions of smooth muscle in the walls of the lymphatics

  35. Regulation of Blood Pressure and Heart Rate • Medullary cardiac control center (Brainstem) • Cardioacceleratory Center • Cardioinhibitory Center • Baroreceptor reflex • Carotid • Aortic • Kidney: blood volume • Hypothalamus & Cortex: stress, blushing, etc.
