What is the homeostatic feedback loops for high/low blood volume.
Stimulus: Decrease in blood volume
Sensor: ?
Integrator: ?
Effector: ?
Response: ?
Stimulus: Increase in blood volume
Sensor: ?
Integrator: ?
Effector: ?
Response: ?
Decrease in blood volume
Sensor: Blood volume Pulse (BVP) sensor that measures cardiovascular dynamics by detecting changes in the arterial translucency.
Integrator: cardiovascular centre. It can alter heart rate and stroke volume to increase blood pressure and flow.
Effector: kidney
Response: collapsing vessels, reduced pressure, and subsequently leads to reduced perfusion pressure.
Increase in blood volume
Sensor: blood volume pulse sensor, same as above
Integrator: cardiovascular centre by altering the heart rate and stroke volume to decrease pressure and flow.
Effector: .heart, blood vessels, and kidneys
Response: An increase in blood volume increases central venous pressure. This increases right atrial pressure, right ventricular end-diastolic pressure and volume.This increase in ventricular preload increases ventricular stroke volume by the Frank-Starling mechanism.
