3. Types of
circulation
Systemic
Aka greater circulation.
RV LV
Provide blood circulation
to organs
Pulmonary
Aka lesser circulation
LVRV
Oxygenation of blood
Portal
4. Portal circulation
part of systemic circulation
passes through two sets of capillaries before draining into a
systemic vein.
Portal vein
Vein draining the first capillary network
Efferent artery
Artery draining the first capillary network
Examples:
Arterial portal system
Hepatic portal circulation
Hypothalamo hypophyseal portal circulation
Venous portal system
Renal portal circulation
8. Drains the deoxygenated blood from lower
esophagus upper anal canal, pancreas, spleen,
gall bladder
Carries nutrient rich blood from intestines to liver
Importance:
First bypass effect
Certain drugs become inactive after being metabolised by
liver, hence route other than oral should be given
eg. Nitroglycerin, midazolam
Activation of prodrug
Requires metabolism by liver to activate
Eg.Dextometrophan, fospropanol
9.
10. Drainage of portal
circulation
Inferior mesentric v splenic v
Splenic v +superior mesentric v portal vein
Direct into portal vein
Left and right gastric v
Posterior superior pancreatoduodenal v
Portal vein banches into left and right portal vein
cystic v drains directly into right portal vein
Passed throught liver sinusoids into hepatic vein
inferior vena cava
20. Increased portal blood flow from
hyperdynamic circulation
Caused by arterial
vasodilation mediated
by NO
Lead to increased
efflux of blood to
portal system
HEPATIC ARTERY
BUFFER RESPONSE
P= F X R

current (I) equals the voltage difference (ΔV) divided by resistance (R).
, the voltage difference is the pressure difference (ΔP; sometimes called driving pressure, perfusion pressure, or pressure gradient), the resistance is the resistance to flow (R) offered by the blood vessel and its interactions with the flowing blood, and the current is the blood flow (F).

. he velocity of the steady flow of a fluid through a narrow tube (as a blood vessel or a catheter) varies directly as the pressure and the fourth power of the radius of the tube and inversely as the length of the tube and the coefficient of viscosity.
