  3. ___________ hyperaemia is a term given to the temporary increase n blood flow after a period of reduced blood flow (due to the same build up of metabolic products as in active hyperaemia). Gradually returns to control level.
  4. intrinsic autoregulation of vessels involves myogenic response to _______. If blood flow decreases (due to drop in pressure  resistance decreases to increase flow) if blood pressure increases, sensed by vessels, reflexive vasoconstriction to protect capillaries.
  5. smooth muscle, unlike skeletal, has a poorly developed ____________ __________.
  6. in smooth muscle, during an action potential, the inward flux of ions is not _________, but calcium( through receptor and voltage operated channels).
  7. sheer stress caused by high velocity blood flow causes ________ levels in endothelial cells to increase . this leads to increased NO synthase actvitity , NO production, stimulates smooth muscle, cGMP production, vasodilation.
  8. an increased velocity of blood flow generates sheer stress on the walls of vessels  stimulates endothelial cells to release factors that relax underlying smooth muscle (eg NO)  this counterbalances the _________ stretch response (increased pressure = reflex vasoconstriction).
