Q

How does Respiration effect Venous Return?

A
  • Spontanous Breathing
    • Inspiration increases venous return, vice versa
  • Mechanical Breathing
    • Positive Pressure –> ↑RA pressure –> ↓venous return
  • Valsalva Maneuver
    • ↑Thoracic Pressure –> ↓venous return

23
Q

Where are major blood reservoirs?

A

Spleen

Liver

Large Abdominal Veins

Venous Plexus under Skin

Heart & Lungs (Not part of venous system)

24
Q

What are the stopcocks of the vascular system?

A

Arterioles - they can constrict and dilate as needed

25
Q

What things make capillaries ideal for nutrient & fluid exchange?

A

Single, thin endothelial layer

Large cross section/surface area

26
Q

Do capillary walls have smooth muscle?

A

No, just endothelial tissue

27
Q

Why can capillaries withstand high intravascular pressure?

A

Laplace’s Law

Very thin wall with very small radius can take more pressure

28
Q

Why is the vascular system distensible?

A
  • Accommodate pulsatile heart output
  • Average out the pressure pulsations
  • Allows smooth, continous blood flow through small vessels
29
Q

What part of the vasculature is most distensible?

A

Veins - reservoir for 0.5 to 1 L of extra blood

30
Q

How much more distensible are veins vs arteries?

A

8x more distensible

31
Q

How do pulmonary arteries compare to systemic arteries?

A

Pulmonary arteries operate at 1/6 pressure and have 6x greater distensibility.

32
Q

What is vessel capacitance/compliance?

A

Total amt. of blood that can be stored in a given portion of circulation for each mmHg pressure rise

33
Q

Which type of vessel dampens pulse and distributes blood?

A

Aorta (25mm)

34
Q

Which vessel type has the function of only distribution?

A

Large arteries (1-4mm)

35
Q

Which vessel type is responsible for distribution & resistance?

A

Small Arteries (0.5-1mm)

36
Q

Which vessel type is primary for exchange?

A

Capillaries (.006-.01mm)

37
Q

Which vessel type has the functions of exchange, collection, and capacitance?

A

Venules (0.5-5mm)

38
Q

Which vessel has a primary function of collection?

A

Vena Cava (35mm)

39
Q

What is the Tunica Intima comprised of?

A

Thinnest layer

Endothelial cells

Intercellular matrix

Subendothelial connective tissue

Internal elastic lamina

40
Q

What is the Tunica Media comprised of?

A

Elastic tissue

Connective tissue

External elastic lamina

Smooth Muscle

Thicker in Arteries than Veins and has more elastic fibers

41
Q

What is the Tunica Extern (Adventitia) comprised of?

A

Connective Tissue

Nerves

External elastic lamina

Nutrient capillaries in larger vessels

Usually thicker in veins to prevent vessel collapse and damage

42
Q

Veins and Arteries are made up from the same tissues, whats the difference?

A

Artery has more elastic tissue and smooth muscle

43
Q

How are small arteries and arterioles innervated?

A

Sympathetic adrenergic nerves - respond to changes in hormones

44
Q

What is transmission of the pressure pulse?

A

When blood first exits the aorta, the sudden ejection causes a distension that spreads further along the aorta.

45
Q

Windkessel Effect

A

During cardiac contraction, energy moves forward to capillaries, but some energy is stored as potential energy for the next contraction.

46
Q

The degree of pulse damping is _______ proportional to resistance x compliance

A

Directly Proportional

47
Q

Compliance is change in _______ divided by change in _______

A

Compliance = Δvolume/Δpressure

48
Q

Is CVP a good indicator of Volume Status?

A

No, body will try to maintain normal CVP despite abmormal volume amounts.

49
Q

What are the 2 major body fluid compartments?

A

Intracellular: 2/3 or 40% of Total Body Weight

Extracellular: 1/3 or 20% of Total Body Weight

50
Q

What % of Total Body Weight is made of water?

A

~60%

51
Q

How would 1L of 0.9NS distribute to the different fluid compartments?

A

Increases ECF Only

52
Q

How would 0.5% dextrose distribute to the different fluid compartments?

A

D5 starts as isotonic, then becomes hypotonic after body absorbs the glucose –> water will go into cell

53
Q

What parts make up ECF?

A

Interstitial Fluid: 75%

Plasma: 24%

RBC: 1%

54
Q

Isotonic

A

Doesnt shrink or swell cells.

Does not upset osmotic equilibrium

EX: NS, LR

55
Q

Hypotonic

A

Lower Solutes

Water goes into Cells

↑ECF

↑↑↑ICF

EX: D5W

56
Q

Hypertonic

A

Higher amt of Solutes

Water goes out of Cell

↑ECF

↓ICF

EX: D5 1/2NS, D5NS (dont give to infants)

57
Q

Colloid

A

Albumin is most commonly used

Contains human plasma proteins

Expands plasma volume
