Blueprint ID | Learning Objectives |
7822 | Describe the importance of blood pressure in maintaining blood flow to organs |
7823 | Describe the influence of organ vascular resistance to flow in governing the partitioning of cardiac output to organs and in governing total systemic resistance to blood flow |
7824 | Describe the relative hierarchy of blood flow to organs at rest, during exercise and under conditions of stress such as vascular hemorrhage. |
7825 | Describe the general intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms governing blood flow regulation within organs. |
7826 | Describe the vascular anatomy of the heart |
7827 | Compare whole brain vs. microscopic segmental cerebral blood flow (CBF) control in the brain. |
7835 | Describe the systolic/diastolic characteristics and level of coronary blood flow (CrBF) during each of these phases |
7836 | Describe the mechanisms regulating CrBF at rest and during exercise and the relative importance of metabolic control and autonomic nervous system control under the above conditions. |
7837 | Describe the influence of coronary artery stenosis, on coronary flow, coronary flow reserve and angina at rest and during exercise |
7838 | Describe CBF autoregulation in terms of the blood pressure ranges over which CBF is maintained constant, is decreased or increased with forced dilation. |
7839 | Describe the mechanisms promoting CBF autoregulation, pressure dependent vascular constriction and the mechanisms promoting metabolic control of CBF. |
7840 | Describe the role of nitric oxide in modulating CBF autoregulation and how this changes with disease |
7841 | Describe the effects of the sympathetic nervous system on CBF autoregulation |
7842 | Describe how the following diseases alter cerebral blood flow regulation and the physiological and pathological effects of these changes
i. Hypertension
ii. Hypertensive encephalopathy and effects of edema formation
iii. Hemorrhagic stroke |
7843 | Describe the effects of low PaO2 and high PaCO2 on CBF autoregulation |
