Circulatory Disturbances Flashcards
Coagulation Factors
Plasma proteins produced by the liver
The Circulatory System consists of
blood, a central pump, blood distribution and collection networks, and a system for exchange of nutrient and waste products between blood and extravascular tissue.
Nitric Oxide when released from vascular endothelium has what effect
Relaxation and vasodilation
Water distribution between plasma and interstitium is primarily determined by
Hydrostatic and Osmotic pressure differences between the two compartments
Ground substance of ECM consists of
Glycoproteins (Fibronectin and Laminin), Glycosaminoglycans, Proteoglycans, etc
Possible outcomes to thrombi
Lysis
Propagation
Embolization
Organization/ recanalization
Describe the process of hematoma resolution
Hemoglobin (red/blue) enzymatically converted to bilirubin (blue/green) and eventually into hemosiderin (gold/brown)
Condition
Subacute Hepatic Congestion

“Nutmeg Liver”
Types of shock
Cardiogenic Shock
Hypovolemic Shock
Blood Maldistribution
Embolus
Any detacehed intravascular mass which is carried by the blood to a site distal to the point of origin
Pathomechanisms of Edema
- Increased blood hydrostatic pressure
- Decreased plasma colloid osmotic pressure
- Lymphatic obstruction
- Increased vascular permeability
Clinical significance of edema
Tissue may become firm and distorted due to an increase in fibrous connective tissue after prolonged edema
Epistaxis
Bleeding from the nose
Plasma accounts for ______% of total water weight
5%
Thrombosis
Formation or presence of a solid mass within the cardiovascular system
Non inflammatory pulmonary edema can be the result of
Left Sided Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)
Clinical significance of hemorrhage is determined by
location and severity
Describe the histologic appearance of edema
- Clear or pale eosinophilic staining
- Dependent on inflammatory vs non-inflammatory
- Spaces distended
- Blood vessels filled with RBC
- Lymphatics dilated
- Collagen bundles separated
Describe what happens during the vasoconstriction step of normal hemostasis
- Brief period of arteriolar vasoconstriction occurs mostly as a result of reflex neurogenic mechanism
- Augmented by local secretions of factors such as endothelin
Example of what circulatory distrubance
Edema
Condition
Ascites or Hydroperitoneum
Suffusive Hemorrhage
Larger than ecchymosis and contiguous.
Intracellular Fluid accounts for _________% of total water weight
40%
Hydrothorax
Fluid in the thoracic cavity
Condition - Fibrin thrombi within glomerular capillaries
Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC)
Thromboplastin
Promotes blood coagulation
Epistaxis
Thrombomodulin
Has anticoagulent activity
Interstitial fluid accounts for ________% of total water weight
15%
Types of hyperemia
Physiological
Pathological
Ecchymosis
Larger than petechia (up to 1 or 2 cm) as seen in bruise (contusion) or small hematoma
Endothelin released from vascular endothelium has what effect
Vasoconstriction
Classification of hemorrhage
Ecchymosis
Common name for this disease
“Mulberry Heart Disease”
Petechia
Up to 1-2mm in size, especially found on skin, mucosal and serosal surfaces
Total body water is _______% of total body weight
65%
Pathogenesis of Gastric Volvulus (Torsion)
- Twisting of vessels obstructs gastric veins
- Severe venous congestion (acute, local)
- Ischemia (necrosis)
- Loss of endothelial integrity
- Hemorrhage
- Shock
- Death
Describe an arterial Infarct lesion
Initially hemorrhagic but become pale as the are of coagulation necrosis becomes eviden
Example of what circulatory disturbence
Edema
Hemostasis
Arrest bleeding by physiological properties of vasoconstriction and coagulation or by surgical means
Tissue Edema results from what in regards to starling pressures
Increased hydrostatic pressure
Decreased osmotic pressure
Hemorrhagic Diathesis
Increased tendency to hemorrhage from usually insignificant injuries
Submandibular Edema
“Bottle Jaw”
Commonly associated with sever GI parasitism and hypoproteinemia in sheep
Condition
Thrombotic Meningoencephalitis (TME)
Example of what circulatory disturbance?
Hemorrhage
Describe the gross appearance of edema
Wet
Gelatinous and heavy
Swollen organs
Fluid weeps from cut surfaces
May be yellow
What stain is being used? What does it stain?
HE-Stain
Brown pigment staining the cytoplasm of alveolar macrophages
Example of what circulatory disturbance
Edema
Causes of hemorrhage
Trauma
Sepsis, viremia, bacteremia, toxic conditions
Abdominal neoplasia may lead to hemoperitoneum
Coagulation abnormalities
Embolism
Pieces of a thrombus break off from the original mass and sail downstream to lodge at a distant site
Condition
Chronic Hepatic Congestion
_______________________
Nutmeg Liver
What happens at the conclusion of the coagulation cascade
Thrombin converts the soluble plasma protein fibrinogen into fibrin
This condition is usually the result of
Right sided congestive heart failure
Pro-coagulation factors secreted by endothelium
Thromboplastin
Platelet Activation Factor (PAF)
Von Willebrand Factor
Condition
Pericardial Effusion
Describe what happens during the primary hemostasis step of normal hemostasis
- Endothelial injury exposes highly thrombogenic subendothelial ECM allowing platetlets to adhere and be activated
- Activation of platelets results in a dramatic shape change and release of secretory granules lead to further platelet aggregation to form the primary hemostatic plug
- Secreted products recruit additional platelets
Difference betwen hemorrhage and hyperemia/congestion
Hemorrhage the blood is outside the vessel wall
Hyperemia/Congestion the blood is within the blood vessels
In which direction does hydrostatic pressure move fluid?
Moves fluid out of vasculature
Cardinal signs of inflammation
Reddening - Rubor
Edema - Tumor
Heat - Calor
Pain
Loss of Function
Describe the basic mechanism of normal hemostasis
- Vasoconstriction
- Primary hemostasis
- Secondary hemostasis
- Thrombus and antithrombotic events
Prostacylin
Causes vasodilation, inhibits platelet aggregation
Pathogenesis
Twisting of vessels obstructs gastric veins → severe venous congestion (acute,local, congestion) → ischemia (necrosis → loss of endothelial integrity → hemorrhage → shock → death
Hemoperitoneum
Blood in the peritoneal cavity
Causes of physical hyperemia
- Digestion
- Exercise
- Dissipation of heat
- Neurovascular - facial hyperemia (blushing)
