Study Notes
Vascular Resistance and Blood Flow
- Arterioles, referred to as resistant vessels, play a crucial role in regulating blood flow.
- Maximum resistance occurs in the splanchnic region, highlighting its significance in circulation.
Heart Rate
- Normal heart rate averages 72 beats per minute, with a healthy range between 60 and 80 bpm.
Vasomotor Center
- Located in the medulla and pons, the vasomotor center's sensory area is found in the posterior section, specifically within the nucleus of the tractus solitarius.
Blood Flow Dynamics
- Blood vessel pressure is directly proportional to blood flow velocity; increased velocity results in higher resistance and, consequently, increased pressure.
- Coronary blood flow remains stable within a mean arterial pressure range of 60 to 150 mm Hg, indicating effective autoregulation.
Autoregulation Factors
- Autoregulation of coronary blood flow is influenced by:
- Oxygen demand within tissues,
- Metabolic factors,
- Various physiological stimuli.
Nervous System Influence
- Coronary blood vessels receive innervation from both the parasympathetic and sympathetic divisions of the autonomic nervous system.
- The direct impact of this neural innervation on coronary blood flow remains unclear.
