Pressure and Resistance Capillary Pressures and Capillary Exchange Vital to homeostasis Moves materials across capillary walls by Diffusion Filtration Reabsorption
Pressure and Resistance Diffusion Movement of ions or molecules From high concentration To lower concentration Along the concentration gradient
Pressure and Resistance Diffusion Routes Water, ions, and small molecules such as glucose Diffuse between adjacent endothelial cells Or through fenestrated capillaries Some ions (Na+, K+, Ca2+, Cl-) Diffuse through channels in plasma membranes
Pressure and Resistance Diffusion Routes Large, water-soluble compounds Pass through fenestrated capillaries Lipids and lipid-soluble materials such as O2 and CO2 Diffuse through endothelial plasma membranes Plasma proteins Cross endothelial lining in sinusoids
Pressure and Resistance Filtration Driven by hydrostatic pressure Water and small solutes forced through capillary wall Leaves larger solutes in bloodstream
Pressure and Resistance Reabsorption The result of osmosis Blood colloid osmotic pressure Equals pressure required to prevent osmosis Caused by suspended blood proteins that are too large to cross capillary walls

Pressure and Resistance Capillary Exchange At arterial end of capillary Fluid moves out of capillary Into interstitial fluid At venous end of capillary Fluid moves into capillary Out of interstitial fluid Transition point between filtration and reabsorption Is closer to venous end than arterial end Capillaries filter more than they reabsorb Excess fluid enters lymphatic vessels
Pressure and Resistance Interplay between Filtration and Reabsorption Hydrostatic pressure Forces water out of solution Osmotic pressure Forces water into solution Both control filtration and reabsorption through capillaries
Pressure and Resistance Net Hydrostatic Pressure Is the difference between Capillary hydrostatic pressure (CHP) And interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure (IHP) Pushes water and solutes Out of capillaries Into interstitial fluid
Pressure and Resistance Net Colloid Osmotic Pressure Is the difference between Blood colloid osmotic pressure (BCOP) And interstitial fluid colloid osmotic pressure (ICOP) Pulls water and solutes Into a capillary From interstitial fluid
Pressure and Resistance Net Filtration Pressure (NFP) The difference between Net hydrostatic pressure And net osmotic pressure NFP = (CHP – IHP) – (BCOP – ICOP)

Figure 21-14 Short-Term and Long-Term Cardiovascular Responses Autoregulation Autoregulation is due to opening and closing precapillary sphincters due to local release of vasodilator or vasoconstrictor chemicals from the tissue. HOMEOSTASIS RESTORED Local decrease in resistance and increase in blood flow HOMEOSTASIS Local vasodilators released Normal blood pressure and volume Inadequate local blood pressure and blood flow HOMEOSTASIS DISTURBED • Physical stress (trauma, high temperature) • Chemical changes (decreased O2 or pH, increased CO2 or prostaglandins) • Increased tissue activity Start 22
Figure 21-14 Short-Term and Long-Term Cardiovascular Responses Central Regulation Central regulation involves neuroendocrine mechanisms that control the total systemic circulation. This regulation involves both the cardiovascular centers and the vasomotor centers. Short-term elevation of blood pressure by sympathetic stimulation of the heart and peripheral vasoconstriction Stimulation of receptors sensitive to changes in systemic blood pressure or chemistry Activation of cardiovascular centers Neural mechanisms Stimulation of endocrine response Long-term increase in blood volume and blood pressure Endocrine mechanisms If autoregulation is ineffective HOMEOSTASIS RESTORED 23
