Coagulation Cascade
• Very complex

– procoagulants
– anticoagulants
• Key Steps
– Formation and/or Activation of prothrombin
activator/s (Factor X)
– Conversion of prothrombin to _________________
– Conversion of fibrinogen to ___________________.
Coagulation Cascade
Activation of Prothrombin activator/s is the
rate limiting step.

Summary
Sherwood’s Human Physiology 11-13
Fibrinolytic System
•
•
•
•
Limits the size of the clot.
Plasminogen is a plasma protein trapped in the clot.
It is cleaved into plasmin by tPA.
Plasmin breaks down __________________ and
interferes with its polymerization.
Robbins’ Basic Pathology 4-12
Leukocytes
• White blood cells (WBC’s) that serve in the
immune system.
• Primary functions:
– Defend against pathogens via phagocytosis.
– Identify and destroy cancer cells.
– Phagocytose debris resulting from dead or
injured cells.
Factors Involved in Blood Pressure
• mean arterial pressure = cardiac output X total peripheral
resistance
Sherwood’s Human Physiology 10-35 (10-34 6th Edition)
Factors Involved in Blood Pressure
• There are both short term and long term
adjustments made to normalize blood
pressure.
• Short Term (within seconds to minutes)
– Alterations in cardiac output and total peripheral
resistance (______________________________)
• Long Term (minutes to days)
– Adjusting total blood volume
Sherwood’s Human Physiology 10-35 (10-35 6th Edition)
Arterial Baroreceptors
• Constantly monitor mean arterial pressure and
pulse pressure.
• Mechano-receptors in the walls of several
large arteries.
Sherwood’s Human Physiology 10-36 (10-36 6th Edition)
Arterial Baroreceptors
• Cardiovascular Control Center
• Located in the __________________
• Autonomic nervous system “feedback”
Guyton’s Textbook of Medical Physiology 18-5
Arterial Baroreceptor
• Increased arterial
pressure =>
Increased CNS
signal.
• Decreased arterial
pressure =>
decreased CNS
signal.
Guyton’s Textbook of Medical Physiology 18-6
Arterial Baroreceptor
Sherwood’s Human Physiology 10-37 (10-36 6th Edition)
Baroreceptor Reflex
• Increased CNS signal (increased BP)
– Inhibit vasoconstrictor center of medulla.
• Vasodilation of veins and arteries => decreasing
peripheral resistance.
– Excite vagal parasympathetic center.
Sherwood’s Human Physiology 10-38 (10-37 6th Edition)
Baroreceptor Reflex
• Decreased CNS signal (decreased BP)
– Excite vasoconstrictor center of medulla.
• Vasoconstriction of veins and arteries => increasing peripheral
resistance.
– Excite vagal _____________________________________ center.
Sherwood’s Human Physiology 10-38 (10-37 6th Edition)
Effects of changing body position
on the arterial baroreceptor
Standing from a supine position (lying down)
-BP in upper body and head decreases and
can cause a loss of consciousness.
-Decreased pressure elicits a an immediate
reflex resulting in a strong sympathetic
response.
Arterial baroreceptor as a pressure
buffer system
• Important in
maintaining pressure
during changes in body
position.
• Functions as a “pressure
buffer system” since
without an arterial
baroreceptor there is an
increase in pressure
variability.
Guyton’s Textbook of Medical Physiology 18-8
Arterial baroreceptor is a short term
regulator
• Arterial baroreceptors
are responsible for
reducing the minute
by minute variations
in arterial pressure by
1/2-1/3.
• ____________ Term
Regulation

Summary of Baroreceptor Reflex
Decreased BP
Sherwood’s Human Physiology 10-39 (10-38 6th Edition)
Chemoreceptor Reflex
• Located in the ______________________
and adjacent to the aorta.
• Sensitive to:
– Decreased O2
– Excess CO2
– Excess H+ (low pH)
Guyton’s Textbook of Medical Physiology 18-5
Chemoreceptor Reflex
• Excite nerve fibers in the vasomotor center
of the brain stem.
• Decreased pressure => decreased O2,
increased CO2, increased H+ => stimulates
chemoreceptors => maintain vasoconstrictor
tone => increased pressure back to normal.
• Not a powerful reflex
– Because it is only activated at pressures below
80mm Hg.
Blood Pressure Control Mechanisms
Guyton’s Textbook of Medical Physiology 19-15
CNS Ischemic Response
“Last ditch stand”
• Control of arterial pressure in response to
diminished brain blood flow.
• Neurons in the vasomotor center respond directly
and strongly.
• Their stimulation results in systemic arterial
pressure as high as the heart can pump.
– Due to elevated level of CO2 stimulating sympathetic
nervous system in medulla.
– One of the most powerful activators of the sympathetic
vasoconstrictor system.
Blood Pressure Control Mechanisms
Guyton’s Textbook of Medical Physiology 19-15
Cushing Reaction
• In response to elevated cerebrospinal fluid
pressure.
• When cerebrospinal fluid pressure > arterial
pressure, the brain’s vessels collapse and
blood flow stops.
• This initiates the CNS ischemic response
and the elevation of arterial pressure > than
the cerebrospinal fluid pressure.
Volume Reflex
• Left
atrial volume
receptors and
osmoreceptors are
involved in H2O and NaCl
balance.
•They play a role in
___________________
Term regulation of BP by
increasing blood volume
& vasoconstriction.
Sherwood’s Human Physiology 15-4
Renal-Body Fluid System for
Arterial Pressure Control
• Primitive: dates back to the hag fish.
• Long Term regulation of BP.
• Pressure diuresis is the increase in output
volume as arterial pressure rises.

Pressure Control

Blood Volume Increases
• If you increase the
volume of blood
there is an
immediate
response to
increase CO, Urine
out flow, and
arterial pressure.
Guyton’s Textbook of Medical Physiology 19-2
Renin-Angiotensin System
• When the Kidneys experience ________________
arterial pressure their Juxtaglomerular cells release
a small protein, Renin.
• Renin is not a vasoactive substance it is an enzyme
which cleaves a plasma protein angiotensinogen to
angtensin I which is a mild vasoconstrictor.
• Angiotensin I is cleaved in the lungs into
Angiotensin II which is a strong vasoconstrictor
and decreases renal excretion of both water and
salt.
Renin-Angiotensin System
Decreased arterial pressure
Renin release from Kidneys
Angiotensinogen
Angiotensin I (mild vasoconstriction)
Converting enzyme (in lung)
Angotensinase
Angiotensin II
(inactive)
Renal retention of
