43
Q

What are the primary physiological functions of arterioles?

A

Their diameter can be decreased or increased to modulate the resistance to blood flow and, therefore, modulate blood pressure.

They also possess precapillary sphincters that can increase or decrease the capillary blood flow to specific areas of the body (ie - increase blood flow to GI after a meal or to skeletal muscle during exercise).

44
Q

45
Q

What is the luminal diameter of a capillary?

A

7-9 microns

46
Q

A

Q

Describe what a capillary fenestration is and what it is not.

A

A fenestration is a pore in the membrane of an endothelial cell of a visceral capillary. It is not a hole in the basal lamina. The basal lamina is still present at a fenestration.

A
59
Q

On which blood vessel do most vasoactive agents act?

A

Venules

60
Q

What are high enothelial venules (HEVs). Discuss their structure and function.

A

They are postcapillary venules in the lymphatic system. They consist of prominent (high) cuboidal endothelial cells with ovoid nuclei. These cells are held together by “looser than usual” junctional complexes, including zonula occludens (tight junctions). These loose complexes are what convey HEVs with their primary purpose of facilitating the entry of immune cells from the lumen into the connective tissue.

61
Q

What is this an image of and what are the arrows pointing to?

A

That is a high endothelial venule and the arrows are pointing to the high endothelial cells.

A

A disease in which the inside of an artery narrows due to the build up of plaque. It is characterized by lesions of the T. Intima called atheroma or fibro fatty plaques that protrude into and obstruct the vascular lumen, also weakening the T. media.

A
88
Q

What is an aortic dissection? What predisposes a person to an aortic dissection? What region of the aorta does it most commonly affect?

A

A condition in which the T. Intima of the aorta is lacerated leading to blood entering into the T. Media. The laceration typically extends to somewhere between the middle and outer third of the T. Media. Frequently, the hematoma eventually bursts through the T. Adventitia.

Most frequently affects the thoracic aorta with the vast majority of cases associated with hypertension and a smaller number with connective tissue disorders (ie- marfan’s)

89
Q
