1
Q

Filling more than 3.5 L in empty circulatory system leads to this type of pressure (no flow)

A

mean circulatory filling pressure

~7 mmgHg

2
Q

How much is venous pressure affected by movement of blood out of venous compartment?

A

not much at all

veins are very compliant

50x more compliant than arteries

3
Q

How much is arterial affected by movement of blood out of venous compartment?

A

signifigantly

arteries are not very compliant

4
Q

Why is central venous pressure an indicator of circulatory status?

A

cardiac filling has critical influence on CV function

Starling’s Law

5
Q

Central venous compartment components

A

veins in thorax

right atrium

6
Q

Cardiac Output

vs

Venous Return

A

CO: blood leaving central venous compartment

–> it’s a series, so same as output from LV

Venous Return: rate ate which blood is coing back to central venous compartment

7
Q

Increased central venous pressure affects

cardiac output

venous return

positively/negatively

A

CO: positively

VR: negatively

central venous pressure balances these so they are equal

8
Q

Decreasing central venous pressure affects venous return how

A

increases venous return

9
Q

2 ways to change peripheral venous pressure

A

change in blood volume

changes in venous tone
