333 midterm 2 Flashcards
organs that get a lot of blood
liver/digestive tract, skeletal muscle, kidneys
organs that get little blood
heart, skin, bone/tissues, brain
blood flow slowest in capillaries because
biggest cross-sectional area
most vessels in parallel
pulse pressure
systolic bp - diastolic bp
mean arterial pressure (MAP)
diastolic bp + 1/3 pulse pressure
average pressure propelling blood to tissues
arterial blood pressure affected by
how much elastic arteries can be stretched, volume of blood forced into them (SV)
driving force / resistance =
flow (force?)
F = delta P/R = driving force / resistance
R = _____ / _____
R = (viscosity x length) / r^4
most important source of resistance in blood vessels
vessel diameter - can change very quickly to regulate flow
short term regulation of bp
neural control
baroreceptors/chemoreceptors in large arteries to vasomotor center in medulla
intermediate term regulation of bp
chemical control (hormones, drugs)
long term regulation of bp
kidney regulation of blood volume
Renin - Angiotensin II
responds to low BP
leads to vasoconstriction and increased blood volume to increase bp back to normal levels
inactive angiotensinogen released by ___
liver
decreased bp leads to release of ____ by ___
renin by kidneys
renin and other enzymes lead to convert inactive ___ to active ____
convert inactive angiotensinogen to active angiotensin II
ANP to control bp
in response to high bp
released by heart
hydrostatic pressure
force exerted by fluid (blood) pressing against wall
osmotic pressure
pressure created by non-diffusible molecules (plasma proteins)
without plasma proteins…
less fluid would enter capillary
opsonization
process or priming cells for phagocytosis
coating cells with opsins
receptors on phagocyte recognize opsins –> phagocytosis
steps to phagocyte mobilization
- leukocytosis - neutrophils enter blood from bone marrow
- margination - neutrophils cling to capillary wall
- diapedesis - neutrophils flatten and squeeze out of capillary
4.chemotaxis - neutrophils follow chemical trail diffusing from inflamed site
neutrophils arrive first, them macrophages
2 chemical defense mechanisms
interferons and complement system
interferons
interfere with viral replication and protein synthesis
targets all viruses - non specific
complement system
group of plasma proteins that leads to phagocytosis and lysis of microbes
MAC
membrane attack complex (part of complement system)
2 types of adaptive defense
humoral immunity - antibody mediated
cell mediated
immune portion of antigens
determinants
stem region of antibodies
determines class of antibody (5 classes)
TCR
T - cell receptor
receptors on surface of T cells that bind MHC-antigen complexes
cytokines
glycoproteins that serve as chemical messengers
stimulate or suppress immune system
innate and adaptive immunity
ex: interferons
what cells participate in cell mediated immunity
T cells (helper and cytotoxic)
