Document Summary

Circulation: circulatory plans, regulation of heart and cardiac output, circulatory adjustments to stress. Why does blood pressure not fall to zero when the heart relaxes. Arterial system has elastic wall around arteries: allows pressure/energy of heart to be stored in material. When heart stops, vessel walls relax, pressurizes fluid inside arterial system. Jetting fluid outside heart when it pumps. Valves in and out of heart: important for function of pressure reservoir system. If no exit and heart stopped beating: blood would flow back into heart. If squeezed by elastic force of arterial force, flows away from heart to wards capillaries. Less and less elastic energy stored: less elastic material. Amount of energy/pressure: oscillation dampens, narrow range of. Conduit, pressure reservoir, damping oscillations, control of flow distribution. Subtle decline :permits exchange of materials across endothelial layers pressure in capillaries. System: delivers blood with high pressure to capillary systems: becomes low pressure system. One cell thick, so low pressure system is needed.
