Question
Chapter 44.3, Problem 2C
Summary Introduction
To determine: The effect on homeostasis when smooth muscles in the walls of an individual’s arterioles could no longer constrict.
Introduction: Blood is transported across the body with the help of blood vessels. The complete network of blood, blood vessels and heart form the circulatory system of the body. There are majorly four types of blood vessels: arteries, arterioles, capillaries, and veins.

- Answer ALL parts of this question. In terms of heart failure there is a decrease in cardiac output. This is due to a contractile deficit in the individual cardiac myocytes. (a) Explain how this contractile deficit occurs. (b) What common cardiac problem is often associated with the changes in calcium handling often seen in cardiac cells of heart failure patients? Explain how this problem arises. (c) Describe the mechanism of action of levosimendan in the treatment of heart failure.arrow_forwardBlood flow to the skeletal muscles increases with exercise. Explain how the autonomic nervous system mediates the increase in blood flow to skeletal muscles.arrow_forwardIf all plasma membrane Ca21 channels in contractile cardiac muscle cells were blocked with a drug, what would happen to the muscle’s action potentials and contraction?arrow_forward

What will it do?arrow_forwardExplain how the cross-sectional area of vessels (in cm2, range from 0 to 5000) affects the mean linear velocity of blood (in cm/s, range from 0 to 50) and blood pressure (in mm Hg, range from 0 to 100). Hint, draw a general model of vascular structure from the aorta to the vena cava, and plot how the variables mentioned above change as blood moves along the vessel system.arrow_forward
- Rock climbers are at risk of serious injury, including head injuries that result in cranial hemorrhages. When this happens, the body may compensate by increasing its total peripheral resistance via smooth muscle contraction. Explain how doing so impacts the following variables. Describe the physiological relationship between total peripheral resistance and each variable, not just whether that variable increases or decreases during hemorrhage venous pressure: mean arterial pressure: cardiac output:arrow_forwardThe ANS regulation of blood pressure is involuntary, yet biofeedback techniques enable individuals to reduce their pulse rate and blood pressure. Explain how this occurs.arrow_forwardExplain how constriction and dilation of muscular arteriesshunt blood from one area of the body to another andhow constriction and dilation of arterioles change bloodflow through local areasarrow_forward
- You have just started a rigorous exercise. Explain two different ways you can increase blood flow to your skeletal muscle (one must reflect upon changes in cardiac output and the other on a change in resistance)arrow_forwardBelow are drawings of three different action potentials. Two of these occur in the heart, and one occurs in skeletal muscle. Which one comes from a contractile cardiac muscle cell? A skeletal muscle cell? A cardiac pacemaker cell? For each one, state which ion is responsible for the depolarization phase and which ion is responsible for the repolarization phase.arrow_forwardLet’s say an arteriole dilates to 50% greater than its original size (i.e., the new radius of the arteriole is 1.5 times the original radius). How does the blood flow rate through the arteriole change after dilation? (Hint: You do not need to know the exact values for viscosity, arteriole length, or pressure gradient in order to answer this question.)arrow_forward
