Q

how does the blood pressure in the pulmonary circuit compare to that in the systemic circuit

A

pressure is lower in the pulmonary circuit

left ventricle is thicker - bigger distribution run

17
Q

what is the equation for the radius of a blood vessel

A

n4 where the radius is n

18
Q

what is in the extracelluslar matrix and what are the formed elements

A
  1. Plasma matrix - proteins and liquid
  2. formed elsements - lymphocytes, leucocytes, thrombrocytes, platelets, RBC
19
Q

What are some distigushing factors between red blood cells and white blood cells

A

white blood cells

  • bigger
  • fights infection and invaders

Red blood cells:

  • carry nutrients
  • no organelles
20
Q

how do RBC make ATP

A

have no mitochandria

uese glycolysis and lactic acid fermentation

21
Q

what are the three layers on a blood vessel from outtermost to inner

A

connective tissue, muscle, and epithelium (simple squalmous)

22
Q

what are differences between artery and a vein - structure wise

A

artery: more muscle, more elastic

Veins, smaller, and valves

23
Q

why do capilarries need to have thin walls

A

for efficient exchange of nutrients

24
Q

What type of substances move between the blood and tissue via diffusion

A
  • gasses
  • small non polar molecules
  • ions
  • glucose
25
Q

What type of substances move between the blood and tissue via endocytosis, exocytosis

A
  • macromolecules
  • blood proteins
  • antibodies
26
Q

what is oncotic pressure

A

pressure created by high protein pressure in the blood usually caused by albumin

Albumin is a polar molecule pulling H2O along with it
