Q

Describe Arterioles?

A

Thin tunica interna fenestrated elastic lamin dissappears at terminal end
tunica media - 2 layers smooth circle muscle
tunica externa - elastic and collagen
smaller than arteri

Q

Why are Arterioles important?

A

By vasoconstriction and vasodilation influence peripheral resistance and modify blood flow from arteries to capillaries - Resistance vessels

Q

What is at the distal end of a vessel?

Q

How do capillaries function?

A

Allow exchange of fluid and metabolites between blood circ system and tissue - are exchange vessles

17
Q

What do tissues with high and low metabolic rates have?

A 
High rate (brain, liver, kidney) - abundance of capillaries
Low rate - (lining epi, cornea, cartilage) few capillaries
18
Q

What do venules do?

A

Collect blood from capillaries and consist of tunica interna and media with SMC

19
Q

What are the venule walls?

A

Porous and function as sites for exchange of nutrients and waste and WBC - merge steadily to form larger venules to form veins

20
Q

What do Veins do?

A

thin tunica interna and media , externa is a thick layer, large lumen
Take blood to heart

21
Q

What are low pressure vessels called?

A

Capacitance vessels

22
Q

How much of bodys blood is in veins?

A

64% - rest are capillaries and arteries

23
Q

What are blood reservoirs?

A

Veins and Venules

24
Q

What are the 3 routes where substances enter or leave the capillaries?

A

diffusion, transcytosis and bulk flow

25
Q

What occurs in diffusion?

A

involved with flow of materials in and out of the capillaries -movement from high conc to low conc

26
Q

What occurs in transcyotsis?

A

Small materials transported across capillary walls encapsulated within invaginations of serosal membrane (pinocytosis) transport to release by exocytosis- large hydrophilic insulin transported

27
Q

What is bulk flow?

A

body fluid derived from ingested water and stored in blood plasma and intersitial fluid - fluid flows from blood to tissues via filtration

28
Q

what does movement of blood fluids depend on?

A

blood hydrostatic pressure BHP

Interstitial fluid osmotic pressure IFOP

29
Q

What happens in reabsorption?

A

pressure driven movement from interstitial fluid into blood capillaries depends on blood colloid osmotic pressure BCOPand in less on interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure IFHP the flow of fluid from blood to tissues and back depends on forces of net filtration pressure NFP

30
Q

What % of fluid is filtered out of capillaries is reabsorped?

A

85% excess fluid enters lymph capillaries

31
Q

What is Oedema?

A

Increased in the interstitial fluid volume noticeable when fluid increased by 30%

32
Q

What happens with excess filtration?

A

Oedema caused by increase capillary BP and IFOP

33
Q

What happens with inadequate reabsorption?

A

Decrease in conc of plasma proteins and kidney disease
