Hyperemia
occurs in inflammation
What is Hyperemia?
active process in which arteriolar dilation (e.g., at sites of inflammation or in skeletal muscle during exercise) leads to increased blood flow.
Is Congestion an active or passive process?
passive
is hyperemia an active or passive process?
active
what is congestion inflammation?
resulting from reduced outflow of blood from a tissue
The gross morphologic appearance of a liver that has undergone a chronic passive congestion is called
Nutmeg liver
In chronic passive congestion of the liver what morphologic
findings are not seen?
a. the centrilobular regions are grossly red-brown and slightly depressed
b. Nephrosis of the hepatocyte at the periphery of the hepatic lobule and sparing at the center
c. tan periportal regions,
b. Nephrosis of the hepatocyte at the periphery of the hepatic lobule and sparing at the center
Among the following pathologic conditions of edema except:
A. Nephrotic sydrome
B. Malnutrition
C. Pericardial endocarditis
D. Cirrhosis
C. Pericardial endocarditis
Nephrotic sydrome, Malnutrition, Protein-losing gastroenteropathy, Cirrhosis
Are pathology of what?
Reduced Plasma Osmotic Pressure (Hypoproteinemia)
Edema
Disorders that perturb cardiovascular, renal, or hepatic function are often marked by the accumulation of fluid in tissue
edema
Edema
Outward movement from intravascular to extravascular
space
Disorders that perturb cardiovascular, renal, or hepatic function are often marked by the accumulation of fluid in body cavity
effusions
A 65/M suffering from liver problems has a bloated peritoneal cavity.
Peritoneal collection of edema fluid is called:
A. Peritonitis
B. Ascites
C. Peritoneal hydritis
D. Anasarca
B. Ascites - abnormal accumulation fluid in the abdominal (peritoneal) cavity
Explanation:
a. peritonitis - a potentially fatal inflammation of the abdomen’s lining
d. Anasarca is an advanced form of edema in which the inflammation spreads to multiple parts areas or the entire body
Edema fluid that accumulates due to increased hydrostatic pressure or reduced intravascular colloid pressure
A. Has protein rich transudate
B. Has a specific gravity less than 1.012
C. Has protein poor exudate
D. Has a specific gravity greater than 1.020
B. Has a specific gravity less than 1.012 aka Transudate
Explanation:
a. transudate - are protein poor / non inflammatory / hydrostatic pressure
c. exudate - protein rich / inflmmation
d. specific gravity >1.020 is exudate
Which is most likely to develop edema?
-female who underwent hysterectomy
Pitting edema is caused by?
nephrotic syndrome - due to increased loss of plasma albumin
Decreased colloid osmotic pressure is reduced
plasma albumin also due to decreased synthesis (e.g., liver disease, protein malnutrition)
Subcutaneous edema?
a. appears initially in parts of the body containing loose connective tissue, such as the eyelids
b. accumulates preferentially in areas most distant from the heart
- accumulates preferentially in areas most distant from the macrophages heart
Hemosiderin laden macrophages in chronically congested lungs
are called?
a. lung failure cells
b. heart failure cells
heart failure cells
Pleural cavity
(hydrothorax)
Pericardial cavity
• (hydropericardium)
• Peritoneal cavity
(hydroperitoneum, or ascites)
• Anasarca is
severe, generalized edema marked by profound swelling of subcutaneous tissues and accumulation of fluid in body cavities
Hemorrhage that is 0.7 cm
a. purpura
b. petechiae
c. ecchymoses
d. bruise
a. purpura - - medium-sized (> 3 mm to < 1 cm)
Wrong answers:
Petechiae - tiny (1-2 mm)
Ecchymoses - bruises (> 1 cm)
