Heart Regulators or Supervisors Why does the ANS step in?

PNS- Tachycardia >100 bpm


What are the three “heart supervisors?”
SNS- Bradycardia <60 bpm
1.
Decrease in blood volume
2.
Decrease in BP
3.
Decrease in tissue perfusion
First system in to help:

SNS vs PNS- know what triggers these systems!

SNS Epinephrine Adrenergic Receptors

B1: Heart/BV- you have 1 heart!


B2: Lungs- you have 2 lungs!

1. What do beta 1 adrenergic receptors do to the body?

2. What do beta 2 adrenergic receptors do to the body?

PNS Acetylcholine Cholinergic Receptors

1. What are the effects of cholinergic receptors on the body?

Second system that steps in to help: RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN- ALDOSTERONE-SYSTEM


Why does the RAAS
1. Kidneys release _______ into systemic circulation. step in?
2. _______ travels to the liver which stimulates the release of __________.
3. Liver releases _____________ into system circulation where it is converted to Decrease in HR
___________ by renin. <60bpm
4. Angiotensin 1 travels to the _____, where angiotensin- ___________ Decrease in blood
enzyme (ACE) is located. volume
5. Angiotensin __ is converted to Angiotensin __ with the help of ACE. Decrease in BP
Decrease in tissue
perfusion
Heart Regulators or Supervisors
Ang 2 is a POTENT
vasoconstrictor!
6. Angiotensin __ is released from ______ into systemic circulation.
7. Once in circulation Angiotensin 2 will do two things:
