Special circulations, Coronary, Pulmonary… 60 Objectives   Describe the control of blood flow to different circulations (Skeletal muscles, pulmonary and coronary) Point out special hemodynamic characteristic pertinent to each circulation discussed 61 Blood Flow: Skeletal Muscle Regulation   Muscle blood flow can increase tenfold or more during physical activity as vasodilation occurs  Low levels of epinephrine bind to  receptors  Cholinergic receptors are occupied Intense exercise or sympathetic nervous system activation result in high levels of epinephrine  High levels of epinephrine bind to  receptors and cause vasoconstriction  This is a protective response to prevent muscle oxygen demands from exceeding cardiac pumping ability 62 Exercise and Muscle Blood Flow Muscle Blood Flow During Exercise Can - 20 fold during exercise. Muscle makes up a large portion of body mass Þ great effect on Cardiac output. Resting blood flow = 3 to 4 ml/min/100 gm muscle. Oxygen delivery can be increased by increasing the extraction ratio from 25% up t0 75% Capillary density ’s markedly. Most blood flow occurs between contractions. Local Regulation of Muscle Blood Flow during Exercise  2 during exercise affects vascular smooth muscle directly  vasodilation. Vasodilators (which ones?) + 1. K 2. Adenosine 3. Osmolality 4. EDRF (nitric oxide) Nervous Regulation Sympathetic release of norepinephrine (mainly ). Adrenals release epinephrine ( and ) norepinephrine ( + a little ).   receptors  vasodilation mainly in muscle and the liver.   receptors  vasoconstriction in kidney and gut. Arteriole Resistance: Control of Local Blood Flow 67 Blood Flow: Heart     Small vessel coronary circulation is influenced by:  Aortic pressure  The pumping activity of the ventricles During ventricular systole:  Coronary vessels compress  Myocardial blood flow ceases  Stored myoglobin supplies sufficient oxygen During ventricular diastole, oxygen and nutrients are carried to the heart Extraction ratio is maximum (75%) during rest so an increase demand for oxygen means an increase blood flow 68 CORONARY CIRCULATION 69 70 71 72 Epicardial and Subendocardial Vasculature 74 Coronary bypass operation 75 Angioplasty 76 77 Blood Flow: Brain    Blood flow to the brain is constant, as neurons are intolerant of ischemia Metabolic controls – brain tissue is extremely sensitive to declines in pH, and increased carbon dioxide causes marked vasodilation Myogenic controls protect the brain from damaging changes in blood pressure  Decreases in MAP cause cerebral vessels to dilate to insure adequate perfusion  Increases in MAP cause cerebral vessels to constrict 78 Blood Flow: Brain   The brain can regulate is own blood flow in certain circumstances, such as ischemia caused by a tumor The brain is vulnerable under extreme systemic pressure changes  MAP below 60mm Hg can cause syncope (fainting)  MAP above 160 can result in cerebral edema 79 Blood Flow: Skin   Blood flow through the skin:  Supplies nutrients to cells in response to oxygen need  Aids in body temperature regulation and provides a blood reservoir Blood flow to venous plexuses below the skin surface:  Varies from 50 ml/min to 2500 ml/min, depending upon body temperature  Is controlled by sympathetic nervous system reflexes initiated by temperature receptors and the central nervous system 80 Characteristics of the Pulmonary Circulation 81 Blood Flow: Lungs  Blood flow in the pulmonary circulation is unusual in that:  The pathway is short  Arteries/arterioles are more like veins/venules (thin-walled, with large lumens)  They have a much lower arterial pressure (24/8 mm Hg versus 120/80 mm Hg)  The autoregulatory mechanism is exactly opposite of that in most tissues  Low oxygen levels cause vasoconstriction; high levels promote vasodilation  This allows for proper oxygen loading in the lungs 82 Blood Flow % Control Effect of Po2 on Blood Flow Alveolar PO2 83 Distribution of Blood Flow Bottom Top 84 Hydrostatic Effects on Blood Flow Ppc = capillary pressure PALV = alveolar pressure Distance Flow 85
