Chapter 15b Blood Flow and the Control of Blood Pressure
Arteriolar Resistance • Arteriolar resistance is influenced by both local and systemic control mechanisms • Local control • Sympathetic reflexes • Hormones
Arteriolar Resistance Table 15-2
Arteriolar Resistance • Myogenic autoregulation • Paracrines • Active hyperemia • Reactive hyperemia • Sympathetic control • SNS: norepinephrine • Adrenal medulla: epinephrine
Hyperemia is a Locally Mediated Increase in Blood Flow Figure 15-11a
Hyperemia is a Locally Mediated Increase in Blood Flow Figure 15-11b
Norepinephrine • Tonic control of arteriolar diameter Figure 15-12
Distribution of Blood • Distribution of blood in the body at rest Figure 15-14
Blood Flow • Blood flow through individual blood vessels is determined by vessel’s resistance to flow Figure 15-15a
Blood Flow • Flow 1/resistance Figure 15-15b
Precapillary Sphincters Figure 15-16a
Precapillary Sphincters Figure 15-16b
Capillaries: Exchange • Plasma and cells exchange materials across thin capillary wall • Capillary density is related to metabolic activity of cells • Capillaries have the thinnest walls • Single layer of flattened endothelial cells • Supported by basal lamina • Bone marrow, liver and spleen do not have typical capillaries but sinusoids
Two Types of Capillaries Nucleus Endothelial cells Endothelial celljunctions Basementmembrane Transcytosisvesicles (a) Continuous capillaries have leaky junctions. Figure 15-17a
Two Types of Capillaries Fenestratedpores Basementmembrane (cut) Transcytosis vesicles Fenestrationsor pores Endothelial celljunction junction Basementmembrane (b) Fenestrated capillaries have large pores. Figure 15-17b
Velocity of Blood Flow • Velocity of flow depends on total cross-sectional area of the vessels Figure 15-18
Capillary Exchange • Exchange between plasma and interstitial fluid occurs by paracellular pathway or endothelial transport • Small dissolved solutes and gasses move by diffusion • Larger solutes and proteins move by vesicular transport • In most capillaries, large proteins are transported by transcytosis
Capillary Exchange • Bulk flow • Mass movement as a result of hydrostatic or osmotic pressure gradients • Absorption: fluid movement into capillaries • Net absorption at venous end • Filtration: fluid movement out of capillaries • Caused by hydrostatic pressure • Net filtration at arterial end
Fluid Exchange at a Capillary • Hydrostatic pressure and osmotic pressure regulate bulk flow Figure 15-19a
Autoregulation and Capillary Dynamics PLAY Interactive Physiology® Animation:Cardiovascular System: Autoregulation and Capillary Dynamics
Lymphatic System • Returning fluid and proteins to circulatory system • Picking up fat absorbed and transferring it to circulatory system • Serving as filter for pathogens
Fluid Exchange at a Capillary Venule Arteriole Netfiltration Netabsorption Lymphvessels (b) Relationship between capillaries and lymph vessels Figure 15-19b

Lymph fluid empties into the venous circulation. Figure 15-20
Edema • Two causes • Inadequate drainage of lymph • Filtration far greater than absorption • Disruption of balance between filtration and absorption • Increase in hydrostatic pressure • Decrease in plasma protein concentration • Increase in interstitial proteins

Hypertension • The risk of developing cardiovascular disease doubles with each 20/10 mm Hg increase in blood pressure • Essential hypertension has no clear cause other than hereditary Figure 15-26
Hypertension • Carotid and aortic baroreceptors adapt • Risk factor for atherosclerosis • Heart muscle hypertrophies • Pulmonary edema • Congestive heart failure • Treatment • Calcium channel blockers, diuretics, beta-blocking drugs, and ACE inhibitors
