Document Summary

Blood pressure, resistance and flow: blood supply to a tissue. Blood pressure: force that blood exerts against a vessel wall, two pressures recorded . Systolic peak arterial bp taken during ventricular contraction. Diastolic minmum arterial bp taken during ventricular relaxation. Atherosclerosis: fat buildup inside arteries, leads to coronary + peripheral artery disease. Peripheral resistance: opposition of flow that blood encoubnter in vessels away from hear, factors affecting blood viscoiety increased from rbc count and albumin, decreased with anemia and hypoproteinemia. Vessel length father liquid travels, the more cumulative friction it encountes, pressure and flow decline with distance. Vasoreflexes: quick and powerful ways of regulating blood flow and pressure two purposes. Method of rerouting blood from one region to another for perfusion of individual organs. Reactive hypermia if blood flow was cut off, then restored flow increases above normal. Angiogenesis growth of new blood vessesl, after long term hypoxia. Baroreflex autonomic, negative feedback, high bp detected by carotid sinuses results in.
