Ch.9 Metabolic syndrome Flashcards
Narrowing or obstruction of lumen
Atherosclerosis- gradual
Thromboembolism- rapid
Wearing of the vessel wall is
Dilation= aneurysm
Rupture= dissection
What is a arteriosclerosis
Hardening of the arteries generic term
Atherosclerosis- hardening of arteries, atheroma
Whats an aneurysm
Localized dilation of an arterial wall
A dissection is
Passage of blood through layers of wall
Whats a thrombus
Blood clot in a vessel
DVT= occurs in leg, thigh, pelvis
Whats a varicosity
Localized dilation of a vein
What is the site for edema and WBC diapedesis
Post capillary venules
What provides vascular resistance
Arterioles
Veins have a ____ lumen and ______ walls
Large, thin
Prone to dilation, compression, and invasion
Lymphatic vessels are ______ walled and lined by ___________.
Thin, endothelia
What are the functions of endothelial cells
Regulates clot formation
Vasoreactivity (nitric oxide, endothelin)
Regulates cell growth-smooth muscle cell
What is endothelial activation?
Pro inflammatory
Ex. Atherosclerosis
Hypertension
Diabetes
Thrombosis
What is a berry aneurysm
Dilation of cerebral vessels’
If ruptures is a subarachnoid hemorrhage
What is arteriovenous fistula
A larger artery inappropriate connects to a vein, bypasses capillaries
Fibomuscular dysplasia is
Local thickening of medium/large artery walls- Ischemia results
IS NOT INFLAMMATORY
Who is at risk for Fibromuscular dysplasia
Young Adult females
MC
What is hypotension
Less than 90/60 decreased perfusion and dysfunction
Hypertension is considered
Higher 140/90
What provides nutrients to the intima and inner 1/2 of media
Diffusion from lumen
