Exam2, Blood vessels gomez Flashcards
give examples of elastic arteries
large like aorta & large branches, pulmonary aa
give examples of muscular aa
medium sized branches from aorta
what are the vasa vasorum aa
feed medium and large arteries, found in the inter 1/2-2/3 media
what layer of arterioles change the lumen diamter
medial smooth muscle
what happens to resistance if you half the diameter in arteriole
resistance increases 16 fold
what aa have greets regulation affect on blood pressure
small muscular aa- arterioles
where dose leukocyte exudation and vascular leakage occur
in postcapillary venules
describe size and cell lining of a capillary
diameter of a RBC 7-8 um endothelial cell lining without media, has pericytes around it
describe the structure and function of lymphatics
endothelial, no media valves in larger lymph vessels return interstitial fluid and inflammarotyr cells to blood important pathway in disease dissemination
Where are weibel palade bodies found and what are they
found in endothelial cells they are membrae bound storage organelles with vWF
what are the 3 types of endothelial cells
fenestrated, discontinuous (sinusoidal) and continuous
what factors are expressed on endothelial cells
vWF, FVIII, CD34 and CD31(PECAM-1)
what are the anti-coagulant natural regulators
prostacyclin thrombomodulin heparin like molecules plasminogen activator
what are the natura prothrombotic regulators
vWF tisue factor plasminogen activator inhibitor
What are the ECM molecules that vasoconstrict and vasodilate
vasoconstrict: endothelin and ACE vasodilate: NO, prostacyclin
What are the natura regulators of inflammation and immunity in endothlium
IL1 IL6 chemokines adhesion: VCAM-1, ICAM, E-selectin, P-selectin histocompatability Ag
What molecules from endothelium stimulate growth? inhibit?
stimulators: PDGF, CSF, FGF inhibitors: heparin, TGF-beta
what are arteriovenous fistulas
rar abnormal communications between aa and vv most are congenital
What is fibromuscular dysplasia
focal irregular medial and intimal hyperplasia with thickening of walls of medium and large muscular aa most common in young women
What is HTN in adults >60
> 150/90
what are additional risks with HTN
coronary artery disease, cerebral vascular accidents, hypertensive heart disease aortic dissection, renal failure
What are the major factors that determine BP
age gender, BMI and diet genetic variation in genes of RAAS that increase Na retention
what is a hypertensive urgency
>220 / >120 with NO evidence of target organ damage
what is accelerated HTN
hypertensive emergency of significan increase in BP with organ damage
What is malignant HTN
target organ damage with papilledema
What are renal causes of secondary HTN
acute glomerulonephritis chronic renal disease polycystic disease renal artery stenosis renal vasculitis renin-producing tumors
What are the endocrine causes of secondary HTN
adrenocortical hyper function (cushing, primary aldosteronism, licorice ingestion) exogenous hormones pheochromocytoma acromegaly hypothyroidism hyperthyroidism pregnangyc induced
what are the cardiovascular causes of secondary HTN
coarctation of aorta polyarteritis nodosa increased intravascular volume increased CO rigidity of the aorta
what are the neurologic causes of secondary HTN
psychogenic increased intracranial pressure sleep apnea acute stress, including surgery
how does licorice ingestion cause HTN
molecule is similar structure to cortisol and aldosterone
what occurs in RAAS system with 11B-hydroxylase deficiency
increase mineralocorticoids
What is liddle syndrome
moderately severe salt sensitive HTN due to increased distal tubular reabsorption of Na with aldosterone stimulation
what are the 3 patterns of arteriosclerosis
monckeberg medial calcific sclerosis arterolosclerosis atherosclerosis
what is monckeberg medial calcific sclerosis
in muscular aa >50 y/o with no vessel umen narrowing
what is arterolosclerosis
in small arteries and arterioles
what is atherosclerosis
atheromas= atheromatous plaques develop in elastic aa and muscular aa
what systemid diseases is hyaline arterolosclerosis seen in
aging, DM, benign nephrosclerosis
what is hyperplastic arteriolosclerosis and what disease has this manifestation
cell death (onion skinning) sometimes necrotizing arteriolitis seen in malignant HTN
what type of flow dynamics are prone to atherosclerosis
turbulent flow and low shear stress
