Circulatory Disturbances I & II Flashcards
The intestitium composed of what two things?
ECM and supporting cells
What is ECM composed of?
Structural molecules and ground substance
Water distribution between plasma &; interstitium is primarily determined by what two pressure differences?
Hydrostatic and osmotic pressure differences between two compartments
What does the starling equation illustrate?
Role of hydrostatic and osmotic forces in movement of fluid across capillary membranes.
Hydrostatic moves fluid out and osmotic pressure moves fluid in
What results in tissue edema?
When capacity for lymphatic drainage is exceeded
Edema is the abnormal accumulation of what?
Excess extracellular water in interstitial spaces or body cavities
Where is the fluid located during Edema?
Fluid is outside both vascular fluid compartment and cellular fluid compartment (w/in interstitium)
What are the 4 pathomechanisms of edema?
- Increased blood hydrostatic pressure
- Decreased plasma colloidal osmotic pressure
- Lymphatic obstruction
- Increased vascular permeability
What two categories can edema be classified under?
Inflammatory and non-inflammatory
Inflammatory edema is increased vascular permeability and refers to a what?
Exudate
Non-inflammatory edema refers to what?
Transudate
T/F: Inflammatory edema has protein rich fluid and non-inflammatory edema has protein poor fluid
True
What is the typical gross appearance of Edema?
- Wet
- Gelatinous and heavy
- Swollen organs
- Fluid seeps
- May be yellow
In pitting edema, what happens when pressure is applied to an area of edema?
Depression or dent results bc of the forced excessive interstitial fluid to adjacent areas
Hydrothorax is fluid in what cavity?
Thoracic cavity
Pericardial effusion is also called what disease?
Mulberry heart disease
What two characteristics are noted in pericardial effusion?
Fibrin strands and cloudy appearance
Ascites or hydroperitoneum is what type of fluid within what cavity?
Transudate in peritoneal cavity
Anasarca is what type of edema?
Generalized edema
Anasarca results in fluid accumulation in what type of tissue?
Subcutaneous tissue
Submandibular edema is commonly called what and is associated with what two types of things in sheep?
- Bottle jaw
2. Severe GI parasitism and hypoproteinemia
Edema is dependent on what three things?
- Extent
- Location
- Duration
Non-inflammatory pulmonary edema is associated with what?
Left sided congestive heart failure (CHF)
Inflammatory pulmonary edema is associated with what type of syndrome?
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
Inflammatory pulmonary edema happens after damage to what type of endothelium? Give Example
Damage to pulmonary capillary endothelium
Ex: Pneumonia
What type of fluid is indicative of pulmonary edema?
Frothy fluid
Pulmonary hypertension results when blood gets into what organ?
Lungs
Chronic pulmonary edema is most commonly associated with what type of failure?
Cardiac failure
What happens to the alveolar walls during chronic pulmonary edema? What may this lead to?
Alveolar walls become thickened; may lead to fibrosis
What other characteristics may be present in chronic pulmonary edema?
Congestion, micro-hemorrhages, and accumulation of heart failure cells
Heart failure cells are macrophages containing what?
Hemosiderin
Hyperemia is indicated by an increase is what type of engorgement of the vascular bed? Is blood oxygenated?
Increase in arteriole-mediated engorgement
Blood is oxygenated
Congestion is indicated by what type of engorgement? Is blood oxygenated?
Passive venous engorgement
Blood is not oxygenated
During physiological hyperemia, does blood flow increase or decrease?
Increase
Pathological hyperemia is caused by what?
Underlying pathological process-usually inflammation
During pathological hyperemia, does arteriolar dilation occur primary or secondary to inflammatory stimuli?
Secondary
