Peripheral circulatory factors that affect the flow of blood from the veins into the heart provide the primary control of CO.
Blood flow does not increase in proportion to each tissue's metabolism.
If arterial BP is constant, long-term CO will typically have an ❌ relationship to total peripheral resistance.
This is a form of ❌ law.
The Frank-Starling law states that the ❌ of the heart increases in response to an an increase in the volume of blood filling the heart (end diastolic volume), when all other factors remain constant.
Another way to state this: a large volume of blood flows into the ventricle, the blood will stretch the walls of the heart, causing a greater expansion during diastole, which in turn increases the force of the contraction and thus the quantity of blood that is pumped into the aorta during diastole. The increased volume of blood stretches the ventricular wall, causing cardiac muscle to contract more forcefully.

and H2O retention is the final common pathway shared by all of these etiologies; Interplay of these 2 determined by kidneys
Extracellular fluid volume increases, then arterial pressure decreases increases( decreases, increases ) • increase in arterial pressure, then the kidneys to lose retain( lose, retain ) Na+ and water then returns arterial BP to return to normal
The depicts the effect of increasing arterial BP on urinary output (UOP).
Fill in the blanks for the renal function curve.
• ❌ mm Hg = UOP = 0 • ❌ mm Hg = normal UOP • ❌ mm Hg = 6-8 times normal
Over time, output must = intake • The point at which this occurs is where the two lines intersect is known as the . • The equilibrium point tends to be at an arterial BP of mm Hg
If arterial BP decreases increases( decreases, increases ) then the loss of H2O and Na+ will be greater than the intake → a decrease increase( decrease, increase ) in fluid volume and BP will decrease increase( decrease, increase ) until the arterial pressure falls exactly back to the equilibrium point
If arterial BP falls below the equilibrium point, intake of Na+ and H2O will be greater less( greater, less ) than the output → an decrease increase( decrease, increase ) in fluid volume and BP until the arterial pressure returns exactly back to the equilibrium point
This equilibrium point for the kidneys will occur as long as (1) of salt and water and (2) of salt and water remain in balance
2 primary ways to change long-term arterial pressure levels • Shifting of the renal output curve to a different pressure • Changing level of and Na+ intake
can cause the renal output curve and equilibrium point to shift to the right.
As the intake of water/salt decreases increases( decreases, increases ), the equilibrium point shifts to the right (160 mm Hg) • If there were a decrease increase( decrease, increase ) in water/salt intake, the equilibrium point and the arterial BP would also decrease

An increase in TPR without any change in renal resistance would:
Transiently increase arterial pressure

Decrease extracellular fluid (ECF)
All of the above
autoregulation— blood volume has decreased increased( decreased, increased ) then tissue blood flow decreases increases( decreases, increases ) throughout body; constricts vasodilates( constricts, vasodilates ) blood vessels everywhere
As Na+ intake increases, two things happen: • ECF osmolality decreases increases( decreases, increases ) → stimulation of the thirst center to drink more water to return the ECF salt concentration to normal • This excess water intake → ↑ ECFV • The increased osmolality also stimulates the release of ADH Angiotensin Aldosterone( ADH, Angiotensin, Aldosterone ) → kidney reabsorption of H2O → ↑ ECFV
The first stage in a volume-loading hypertension is an increase in . The reduction in total peripheral resistance is more related to a effect.
