CIRCULATORY DISTURBANCE Flashcards
distribution of fluid is a carefully controlled
HOMEOSTATIC MECHANISM
It play an important role in fluid distribution, hemostasis,
inflammation and healing.
ENDOTHELIAL CELLS
60% of the total lean body weight is composed of
WATER
40% of this is in the
INTRACELLULAR SPACE
15% in the
EXTRACELLULAR COMPARTMENT
5% in the
PLASMID
the accumulation of an excessive amount of extracellular water in the
interstitial fluid spaces
EDEMA
edema may be a:
TRANSUDATE or EXUDATE
The relationship between the various forces at work in the microcirculatory
bed is described by what is known as the
STARLING EQUILIBRIUM
balance exists between the?
NET FILTRATION & NET ABSORPTION PRESSURE
The changes associated with edema are dependent on:
- the severity of edema
- the rapidity of onset,
- the extent,
- the anatomic location, and
- the underlying cause of edema.
often more evident in the:
- subcutaneous tissue,
- lungs
- brain.
– fixative of choice to retain edema lesion.
BOUINS FLUID
an inflammatory effusion or edema characterized
by, high protein content, increased specific gravity
& increased number of inflammatory cells
EXUDATE,
exudate is a type of ?
ACTIVE PROCESS
-a non-inflammatory effusion or edema
characterized by:
* Low protein content
* Low specific gravity
* Low or absence on inflammatory cells
TRANSUDATE
what type of process is transudate?
PASSIVE PROCESS
refers to a local increase in the volume of blood in
tissues due to dilation of the small blood vessels,
HYPEREMIA
occurs following an increase in demand for more blood as
in the stomach and intestines during digestion, in the stimulation of erectile
tissues, and in the fleeting and pleasing neurovascular dilatation called blushing.
PHYSIOLOGICAL HYPEREMIA
on the other hand occurs as a manifestation of some
alterations in blood flow characteristics. These
include those observed during inflammation, in cardiac failure, and obstructive
venous diseases.
PATHOLOGICAL HYPEREMIA
Three factors are considered in the classification of pathological hyperemia, and
includes the following:
- Duration of hyperemia (acute or chronic)
- Extent of hyperemia (general or local)
- The underlying mechanism (active or passive)
Occurs in inflammation, and is due to
engorgement of the vascular bed following an increase in arteriolar flow into the area. Characterized by bright color of tissue due to well oxygenated blood
Acute Local Active Hyperemia.
