Study Notes
Arterial Blood Pressure Regulation
- Arterial baroreceptors are involved in the regulation of arterial blood pressure
- They are located in the carotid sinus and aortic arch
Effect of Arterial Pressure on Afferent Nerves
- Increased arterial pressure increases the firing rate of afferent nerves
- Decreased arterial pressure decreases the firing rate of afferent nerves
Effect of Blood Pressure on Baroreceptors
- Decreased blood pressure decreases the receptor potential of carotid sinus and aortic arch baroreceptors
- Decreased stretch on carotid sinus baroreceptors decreases their firing rate
Effect of Blood Loss on Blood Pressure
- Blood loss decreases blood pressure
Effect of Decreased Carotid Sinus Baroreceptor Firing Rate
- Decreased carotid sinus baroreceptor firing rate decreases parasympathetic activity to the heart
- Decreased carotid sinus baroreceptor firing rate increases sympathetic activity to the heart and blood vessels
Effect of Increased Sympathetic Activity
- Increased sympathetic activity increases heart rate and blood vessels' constriction
Reflex Pathway
- The afferent nerve carries information from the sensory receptor to the integration centers
- The efferent nerve carries the response from the integration centers to the effector organ
Cardiopulmonary Baroreceptors
- They are located in the cardiopulmonary region
- They sense changes in volume and pressure
- The afferents from the cardiopulmonary baroreceptors are carried by the vagus nerve
- They project onto the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS)
Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System
- Increased renal blood flow inhibits the release of renin
- Decreased renal perfusion pressure stimulates the release of renin
- Renin converts angiotensinogen to angiotensin I, which is then converted to angiotensin II
- Angiotensin II stimulates the release of aldosterone
- Aldosterone promotes sodium reabsorption and potassium excretion
Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (ANP)
- ANP is released in response to increased atrial pressure
- It promotes diuresis and natriuresis
Chemoreceptors
- Peripheral chemoreceptors are located in the carotid and aortic bodies
- They are sensitive to changes in PO2 and pH
- Central chemoreceptors are located in the medulla oblongata
- They are sensitive to changes in pH and PCO2
