KIN 3515 Chapter : Cardiovascular Adaptations To Training

11 views6 pages

Document Summary

Factors affecting resistance to flow: radius of vessel. In arterioles (and small arteries) - can regulate radius: length of vessel, viscosity of fluid, blood viscosity dependent on amount of rbcs and proteins, regulate blood flow by regulating arteriole radius, vasoconstriction, decrease radius, vasodilation. Increase radius: relating pressure gradients and resistance, flow = change in pressure/ radius, neural control of map, detector = baroreceptors. Integration center = cardiovascular centers in the brainstem: controllers = autonomic nervous system, effectors = heart. Figure 14. 26: baroreceptor reflex in action: hemorrhage, hemorrhage is decrease in blood volume, drop in map, baroreceptor reflex quickly compensates for changes in blood pressure. Figure 14. 6: blood vessels, components of blood vessel walls. Fibrous connective tissue: collagen: elastic connective tissue: elastin. Sudden "worst headache" of your life: wait & watch. Surgery with stents: arterial blood pressure, compliance: measure of how pressure of a vessel will change with a change in volume.
