Capillary Filtration And Lymph Flow Flashcards
What do caps allow for
Exchange of cargo between blood and tissues such as nutrients, oxygen, electrolytes, wastes, CO2 out
Small stuff, fluid portion of blood
What does the endothelial allow for in caps
Diffusion of small solutes and water, usually no proiteins or cells because they are too big
What does filtered fluid become
The interstitial fluid (intercellular)
How do non-permeable things get across endothelium
Cross between the pore, PARACELLULAR
How do larger things get across the endothelium
Diffuse across the endothelial cells if permeable- TRANSCELLULAR
Where are there small pore sizes in the endothelium
Brain and eye
Where are there large pore sizes in the endothelium
Kidney and liver
What determines how selective the endothelium is?
Pore size
Thickness of the walls of lymphatic
Thin walled
Where are lymphatic found
Tissue surrounding cap beds
What serves as drains for interstitial fluid
Lymphatics
Where does lymph drain back into
Subclavian vein
What are the drain pipes for the interstitial fluid
Lymphatic
Process by which blood plasma is filtered across the capillary membrane to make the interstitial fluid
Ultrafiltration
Same process for making CSF, aqueous humor, urine, just modified
What does ultrafiltration depend on
4 factors and permeability of endothelium are responsible for formation
What are the 4 factors that determine ultrafiltration
- Capillary pressure (BP inside caps) Pc
- Plasma colloid osmotic pressure (albumin inside caps) Pi(c)
- interstitial fluid pressure (essentially 0) P(tis)
- interstitial fluid colloid osmotic pressure (usually 0) pi (tis)
Filtration coefficient, similar to diffusion coefficient. How permeable the caps are
Filtration =Kf*net filtration pressure
What determines how much fluid moves
Net filtration pressure
Pc
Hydrostatic pressure inside the capillaries
P(tis)
Hydrostatic pressure inside the tissue
