Question
Changes in blood pressure occur throughout the day. Short term mechanisms, like the baroreceptor reflex, maintain a steady flow of blood to the tissues to sustain life despite postural changes. However, there can be elevations of blood pressure orchestrated by the nervous system. Describe an example where the nervous system causes changes in the normal functioning of the circulatory system.

- Explain why it is important to determine blood type before tissue or organ transplantation are performed.arrow_forwardThe physiological significance of reactive hyperemia include which of the following? (Mark all that apply.) O The decrease in blood flow to a tissue leads to the accumulation of metabolic products and vasodilators in ECF/extracellular fluid. Removal of occlusion leads to a increase in resistance and a decrease in blood flow, due to vasodilators. O Dilatation of arterioles occur, but the occlusion prevents blood flow. Removal of occlusion leads to a decrease in resistance and an increase in blood flow, due to vasodilators. As vasodilators are removed, arterioles constrict and blood flow returns to normal. As vasodilators are removed, arterioles expand and blood flow increase above normal.. Dilatation of arterioles occur and occlusion allows blood to flow as normal.arrow_forwardHistamine is released in allergic reactions and commonly causes tissue swelling , therefore histamine's affect on the blood vessels are to : vasodilate vasoconstrictarrow_forward
- Excessive blood loss leads to low blood pressure. Explain two mechanisms by which cardiac output is changed to restore systemic blood pressure following blood loss and low blood pressure (explain how cardiac output changes to increase blood pressure when blood pressure drops with blood loss, and any two mechanisms involved).arrow_forwardDiscuss the physiological mechanisms that regulate arterial blood pressure. in detail give examples to back answer.arrow_forwardDuring the first day of your clinical internship in the emergency room of the local hospital, you observe two individuals succumb in separate incidences due to gun shot wounds. in both cases, there is a significant amount of blood loss by each victim. Based on what you have learned regarding the cardiovascular system, explain what might be happening in these individuals as a result of their significant blood loss. Ignore damage to internal organs that most likely occurred and focus on the blood loss. Respond to a classmate's post by explaining why you agree or disagree with the responses they propose and build on their response where possiblearrow_forward
- What are the major compensatory responses to blood loss and which hormones are involved. Describe the process of autoregulation in order to insure supply to vitally important organs (brains, kidneys, heart, and etc.)arrow_forwardPostural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a form of orthostatic intolerance, the development of symptoms that come on when standing up from a reclining position, and that may be relieved by sitting or lying back down. The primary symptom of an orthostatic intolerance is lightheadedness, fainting and an uncomfortable, rapid increase in heartbeat (tachycardia), a common response to a rapid drop in blood pressure as mediated by baroreceptors in the carotid bulb and aortic arch. There are several inconstant secondary symptoms. A syndrome is simply a constellation of symptoms, not all of which may be present in all cases, and as is the case in POTS, a syndrome may also have a wide variety of underlying causes. A subset of POTS patients suffer from a low blood volume. Would you predict that this particular subset of patients has elevated or suppressed plasma levels of renin and aldosterone? Explain your answer. The nuance of dysregulation of the RAA axis is complex in these patients,…arrow_forwardDescribe how the autonomic nervous system responds to both increased and decreased blood pressure. Make sure to discuss neurotransmitters and the pacemaker action potentials.arrow_forward
- Briefly explain how blood pressure is maintained by the body (Hint there are a couple of different mechanisms).arrow_forwardLow blood pressure is detected by sensory receptors called baroreceptors. Where in the body do we find baroreceptors? brachial artery, aortic arc, or inferior vena cava.arrow_forwardIdentify the classification when a person’s blood pressure is measured as 135/75. Group of answer choices Normal Stage 2 hypertension Stage 1 hypertension Elevated Which of the following changes to cardiac regulation would increase cardiac output? Group of answer choices A decrease in afterload A decrease in contractility A decrease in sympathetic stimulation of the SA node A decrease in end diastolic volumearrow_forward
