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

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

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

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

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

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
Blood Pressure
• Components of the baroreceptor reflex

CVD: Risk Factors
• Not controllable• Sex• Age• Family history
• Controllable• Smoking• Obesity• Sedentary lifestyle• Untreated hypertension

• Uncontrollable genetic but modifiable lifestyle• Blood lipids• Leads to atherosclerosis• HDL-C versus LDL-C
• Diabetes mellitus• Metabolic disorder contributes to development of
atherosclerosis

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
