What is the main goal of albumins - ✔️✔️Contributing to the osmotic pressure in capillaries
What is the main goal of globulins - ✔️✔️Clotting
What is the main goal of fibrinogen - ✔️✔️Blood clotting
What is the main goal of transferrin - ✔️✔️Transporting of iron
What are the 4 types of plasma proteins that were studied - ✔️✔️FAGT
Fibrinogen
Albumins
Globulins
Transferrin
What are the 5 different kinds of white blood cells - ✔️✔️BLEND M
Basophil
Lymphocyte
Eosinophil
Neutrophil
Monocyte
What is hematocrit - ✔️✔️Exclusively RBCs
What is the buffy coat made of - ✔️✔️WBCs and platelets
,What is hematopoiesis - ✔️✔️Production of blood cells
Where does hematopoiesis occur - ✔️✔️Long bones (proximal end)
How long do RBCs live around - ✔️✔️4 months
What is a cytokine - ✔️✔️A protein or peptide released from one cell that affect growth or activity in
another cell
Don't get confused with hormones
What cytokine is responsible for erythropoiesis - ✔️✔️Erythropoietin
What cytokine is responsible for Leukopoiesis - ✔️✔️Colony stimulating factors
What cytokine is responsible for Thrombopoiesis - ✔️✔️Thrombopoietin
Which vessel has the highest pressure in it - ✔️✔️Arteries
How do you measure pulse pressure - ✔️✔️Systolic pressure - diastolic pressure
Where is blood pressure typically measured in the body - ✔️✔️Brachial artery or any artery basically
directly out of the heart
What is the mean arterial blood pressure and how do you find it - ✔️✔️Mean arterial blood pressure
Diastolic pressure + 1/3 systolic
,How does a sphygmomanometer tell if the pressure in your blood is less than the pressure on it - ✔️✔️If
there is no sound coming though the stethoscope because it is blocked
When will you be able to hear something from a sphygmomanometer stethoscope - ✔️✔️When the
pressure on the artery is about the same as the pressure in the artery
What is believed to be the main reason why people develop high blood pressure - ✔️✔️Increased
peripheral resistance without changes in cardiac output
How does volume affect blood pressure - ✔️✔️The more blood you have the higher the pressure
Which vessel has the most peripheral resistance in the circ system - ✔️✔️Arterioles
Why do arterioles have the highest resistance in the circ system - ✔️✔️Because they are arranged in
parallel as opposed to being in a series
What is myogenic autoregulation - ✔️✔️When stretch activated channels cause the muscle to constrict to
regulate blood flow through capillary bed
How do paracrine (chemicals from other things than the cell it acts on) affect vasodilation and
constriction - ✔️✔️Things like O2, CO2, NO, H and lactate will change size of vessels
What is the main determinant of peripheral resistance in arteries - ✔️✔️Sympathetic nervous system
Norepi and Epi are usually respectively able to bind to which of the 2: Alpha1, Beta2
Once bound to the proper receptor, what will each cause in the vessels - ✔️✔️Norepi + Alpha1 =
Constriction
Epi + Beta2 = Dilation
, What part of the brain modulates cardiovascular function - ✔️✔️Medulla
What is the baroreceptor reflex - ✔️✔️The reflex pathway for homeostatic control of mean arterial blood
pressure
Where does the baroreceptor connect to the brain - ✔️✔️Carotid body
Carotid sinus
Will there be an increase or decrease in baroreceptor firing if blood pressure drops - ✔️✔️Decrease
What will happen to the baroreceptor reflex if it constantly is sending high frequency APs to the brain -
✔️✔️It will get used to it and will start sending regular APs for high blood pressure
What will the body do if it receives a high frequency of APs from the baroreceptor - ✔️✔️It will try and
bring the BP back down by signaling the heart and altering smooth muscle
Sometimes it only needs to do 1 or the other
You just wake up and stand up fast
Why did you get dizzy but it faded really fast - ✔️✔️Because the baroreceptor reflex kicked in and altered
cardiac output to make up for the lower blood volume
What is bulk flow - ✔️✔️Mass movement of fluid as the result of hydrostatic or osmotic pressure
What direction does hydrostatic pressure push fluid in capillaries - ✔️✔️For filtration
Out
What direction do osmotic pressure push fluid in capillaries - ✔️✔️For absorption
