DETERMINANTS OF ARTERIAL BLOOD PRESSURE

REGULATION OF ARTERIAL BLOOD PRESSURE Regulation of Blood Pressure Nervous Mechanism Renal Mechanism Hormonal Mechanism Local Mechanism By Vasomotor Center and Impulses from Periphery By Regulation of ECF Volume and renin – angiotensin mechanism By Vasocons- -trictor and Vasodilator Hormones By Local Vasocons- -trictors and Vasodilators

REGULATION OF ARTERIAL BLOOD PRESSURE SHORT-TERM CONTROL (IN SEC – MIN) INTERMEDIATE-TERM CONTROL (30 MIN – HOURS) LONG – TERM CONTROL

SHORT-TERM CONTROL OF AP CNS ISCHAEMIC RESPONSE BARORECEPTOR REFLEX CHEMORECEPTOR REFLEX

CUSHING REFLEX Gross hypotension or increased ICP Decreased cerebral blood flow or decreased blood flow to VMC Hypoxia and hypercapnia at VMC Strong stimulation of VMC Intense vasoconstriction Increased pressure in carotid sinus Activation of baroreceptor reflex Reflex bradycardia

REGULATION OF BLOOD PRESSURE BY BARORECEPTOR MECHANISM Increase in Blood Pressure Baroreceptors Stimulation Impulses via IX and X Cranial Nerves Normal Blood Pressure Dilatation of blood vessels Bradycardia and reduction in cardiac output Decrease in vasomotor tone Increase in vagal tone Inhibition of vasoconstrictor area Stimulation of vasodilator area Nucleus of tractus solitarius

BARORECEPTOR REFLEXES TO RESTORE BLOOD PRESSURE TO NORMAL When blood pressure becomes elevated above normal Carotid sinus and aortic arch receptor potential Rate of firing in afferent nervesCardiovascular center Sympathetic cardiac nerve activity and Sympathetic vasoconstrictor nerve activity and Parasympathetic nerve activity Heart rate and stroke volume and arteriolar and venous vasodilation Cardiac output and total peripheral resistance Blood pressure decreased toward normal

BARORECEPTOR REFLEXES TO RESTORE BLOOD PRESSURE TO NORMAL When blood pressure falls below normal Carotid sinus and aortic arch receptor potential Rate of firing in afferent nervesCardiovascular center Sympathetic cardiac nerve activity and sympathetic vasoconstrictor nerve activity and parasympathetic nerve activity Heart rate and stroke volume and arteriolar and venous vasoconstriction Cardiac output and total peripheral resistance Blood pressure increased toward normal

Sequential events by which increased salt intake increases the arterial pressure. Increased salt intake Increased extracellular volume Increased arterial pressure Decreased renin and angiotensin Decreased renal retention of salt and water Return of extracellular volume almost to normal Return of arterial pressure almost to normal
