Vascular Homeostasis Flow Art: Vascular homeostasis is maintained through a dynamic balance between vasoconstrictors and vasodilators, involving endothelial signals like nitric oxide and endothelin to regulate blood pressure and flow.
Summary of Factors in Cardiac Output: Cardiac output is influenced by heart rate and stroke volume, which are in turn affected by factors such as autonomic nervous system input, blood volume, and myocardial contractility.
Factors in Cardiac Output: Cardiac output depends on stroke volume and heart rate, influenced by preload, afterload, contractility, and autonomic nervous system regulation.
Muscular and Elastic Artery Arteriole: Elastic arteries (like the aorta) buffer pressure from the heart, muscular arteries distribute blood to organs, and arterioles regulate blood flow into capillary beds via vasoconstriction and vasodilation.
