Chapter 9 Flashcards
common, disabling lethal disease #1 cause of morbidity and mortality in US
vascular disease
vascular disease MC involves _______
2 types: NARROWING of ______ or WEAKENING of ________
arteries
lumen
vessel wall
hardening of arteries; non-specific
arteriosclerosis
dilation of vascular wall
aneurysm
passage of blood through layers of wall
dissection
blood clot in a vessel
thrombus
hardening of arteries, atheroma
atherosclerosis
dilation of vein
varicosity
open interior of a vessel
lumen
_____ is similar throughout cardiovascular system with 3 layers: ____, ____ & ______
vascular structure
intima
media
adventitia
smooth muscle in CVS is
involuntary
non-striated
intima is made of _______ and is the _____ layer
endothelia cells
deepest
media is made of ______ and is the ______ layer
smooth muscles
middle
adventitia is made of ______ and is the _____ layer
CT, nerves, vessels
superficial
DIFFUSION of blood from lumen occurs in _____ part of vascular wall
interior
_____ supplies the exterior vascular wall
vasa vasorum
tunica media is _____ in arteries than veins
larger (why cadavers have thicker arteries)
veins have ____ lumen and ____ walls; LOW pressure, leads to prone to dilation/compression
larger
thinner
lympathic vessels have ___ walls lined with _____ to drain ISF
thin endothelia
continuous lining of all vessels
non-thrombogenic interface
regulate vasoreactivity
endothelial cells
pro-inflammatory; trauma upsets homeostasis
endothelial activation
3 types of congenital anomalies
berry aneurysms
arteriovenous fistula (AVF)
fibromuscular dysplasia
dilation of cerebral vessels that leads to subdural hemorrhage
berry aneurysm
connection of arterial and venous systems, bypass capillaries
arteriovenous (AV) fistula
local thickening of medium/large artery walls thats leads to ischemia
may involve KIDNEYS
MC in adult females
fibromuscular dysplasia
kidneys detect decrease in blood supply –> INCREASE in Na absorption –> INCREASE in water retention –> INCREASE BP
renovascular HTN
’s for hypotension, which leads to _____
90/60 (or less)
decrease perfusion, dysfunction
’s for hypertension, which leads to _____
140/80 (or more)
atherosclerosis, hypertensive retinopathy
blood pressure regulation influences: ____ & ____
cardiac output
vascular resistance
INCREASE BP –> ____ heart –> _____
causes: _______ and ______
stretch
ANP
REDUCED sodium resorption
vasodilation
DECREASE BP –> ________
causes: ____ & _____
renin-angiotensin system
sodium resorption
vasoconstriction
normal #’s BP
120/80
BP > 140/90
damages vessels and end-organs
ASYMPTOMATIC -“SILENT KILLER”
25% of US adults
hypertension
95% of hypertensions cases are _______ aka “ESSENTIAL HTN”
risks: age, stress, obesity, smoking, inactivity
idiopathic
vascular wall response to injury:
1 endothelial injury/dysfxn
2 smooth muscle cel recruitment
3 growth of smooth muscle
4 irreversible intimal thickening (vessel stenosis)
benign HTN
CHRONIC hemodynamic stress
hyaline arteriosclerosis
severe HTN
hyperplasia arteriosclerosis
hardening of arteries, decrease elasticity
arteriosclerosis
hardening of SMALL arteries, possible ISCHEMIC INJURY
arteriOLOsclerosis
