Main function
Serve a transportation for:
Supplying nutrition and oxygen to tissues Elimination of metabolic end products from tissues Hormones & other chemical substances as a intercellular communication mediator
Maintain a stable internal environment for a life & optimal function of cells.
How does this system regulate its activities to achieve the function???
Tissue perfussion (Supply nutrition & oxygen and eliminate metabolic waste products)
Local blood vessel resisstance Total blood vessel resisstance Blood volume
Blood flow
Blood pressure
Cardic pumping
Vasoconstriction / dilatation
Cardiac cycle
For better understanding the mechanism of regulation you have to recognize many parameters of the system: 1. Cardiac output [CO] 2. Blood pressure [P] 3. Blood flow [Q] 4. Vascular resistant [R] Stroke volume = End Diastolic Vol. - End Systolic Vol. Cardiac output= Stroke Volume x Frequency
P Q R
4 Pr Poiseuille law: Q 8l
Arteri:
Blood transport under high pressure to tissues.
Ateriole:
Regulate blood flow to capillaries
Capillary:
Fluid exchange, nutrition, electrolites hormone between plasma & interstitial
Venula:
Blood flow from capillaries to middle veins
Vein:
Blood flow from tissues to heart Regulated blood reservoir.

V. Cava
Blood Flow
The blood flow going slower because of decreasing blood pressure and increasing total diameter of blood vessels
Blood pressure
accordance with tissue metabolic need. 2. Cardiac output is controlled mainly by total tissue blood flow / metabolic need. 3. Blood pressure is determined by a balance between regulation of tissue blood flow and cardiac output regulation mechanism.
