Factors regulating Stroke Factors regulating Stroke VolumeVolume

1. Degree of stretch of the cardiac muscle 1. Degree of stretch of the cardiac muscle before contraction before contraction (Starling’s Law); (Starling’s Law); determined by the volume of blood in the determined by the volume of blood in the ventricle at the end of diastole or diastolic ventricle at the end of diastole or diastolic filling.filling.

2. 2. Contactility: Contactility: ability of the myocardium ability of the myocardium to contract; contractility is increased by to contract; contractility is increased by circulating catecholamines and circulating catecholamines and medications like digitalismedications like digitalis


3. 3. Preload :Preload : the filling of the ventricles at the filling of the ventricles at the end of diastole. The more the the end of diastole. The more the ventricles fill, the more the cardiac ventricles fill, the more the cardiac muscles are stretched, and the greater the muscles are stretched, and the greater the force of the contraction during systole force of the contraction during systole (Starling’s Law). If there is a decrease in (Starling’s Law). If there is a decrease in contractility and in cardiac output.contractility and in cardiac output.


4. 4. AfterloadAfterload: the pressure in the aorta that : the pressure in the aorta that the ventricles must overcome to pump the ventricles must overcome to pump blood into the systemic circulation.blood into the systemic circulation.

A decrease in the afterload causes a A decrease in the afterload causes a decrease in the workload of the ventricles; decrease in the workload of the ventricles; this in turn will assist to increase the stroke this in turn will assist to increase the stroke volume and the cardiac outputvolume and the cardiac output

The The vascular system vascular system consists of the consists of the arteries, veins and capillariesarteries, veins and capillaries

The The arteriesarteries are vessels that carry blood are vessels that carry blood away from the heart to the peripheryaway from the heart to the periphery

The The veinsveins are the vessels that carry blood are the vessels that carry blood to the heartto the heart

The The capillariescapillaries are lined with squamous are lined with squamous cells, they connect the veins and arteriescells, they connect the veins and arteries


The The lymphatic system lymphatic system also is part of the also is part of the vascular system and the function of this vascular system and the function of this system is to collect the extravasated fluid system is to collect the extravasated fluid from the tissues and returns it to the bloodfrom the tissues and returns it to the blood

Differences Between Blood Vessel Differences Between Blood Vessel TypesTypes

Slide 11.26Slide 11.26

Walls of arteries are the thickest

Lumens of veins are larger

Skeletal muscle “milks” blood in veins toward the heart

Walls of capillaries are only one cell layer thick to allow for exchanges between blood and tissue

Movement of Blood Through Movement of Blood Through VesselsVessels


Most arterial blood is pumped by the heart

Veins use the milking action of muscles to help move blood

ARTERIOSCLEROSIS OF THE

EXTREMITIES

Arteriosclerosis of the extremities is a disease of the peripheral blood vessels that is characterized by narrowing and hardening of the arteries that supply the legs and feet. The narrowing of the arteries causes a decrease in blood flow. Symptoms include leg pain, numbness, cold legs or feet and muscle pain in the thighs, calves or feet.
