Q

Where are continous capillaries located and what do they contain?

A

In muscle + nerve tissue
Contains a fully intact membrane (it has NO holes in it), so no diffusion

Q

Where are sinusoidal (discont/) capillaries located and what do they contain?

A

In liver + spleen + bone marrow
contain an incomplete membrane (it has large gaps in it) so diffusion on large products like RBCs.

Q

What does the neurovascular bundle contain?

A

Nerve, artery, vein, lymp surrounded by fascial sheath (CT)

27
Q

How can you identify nerves and arteries in a neurovascular bundle?

A

Nerve: no lumen, but many nerve facicles (bundle of fibers)
Artery: thick tunica media (mostly SMCs) + red colored lumen (d/t RBCs)

28
Q

How can you identify vein and lymph in the neurovascular bundle?

A

Vein: thin tunica media + irregular shaped lumen
Lymph: contains only endothelium (simple sq)

dont have to identify lympoh in phto

29
Q

What is myocardial infarct and what is it caused by?

low yield

A

heart attack caused by build up of cholesterol (arthero). The cholesterol damges endothelium and then formation of plaques blocks artery preventing flow. Loss of bf leads to muscle tissue dying and then neutrophils + macrophages come into the areas to clear out the dead (necrotic) cells. Fibroblasts use collagen to form scar tissue.

30
Q

What is CHF?

low yield

A

inability to pump enough blood due to cardiac hypertrophy.

60
Q

What is #5?

A

Adventitia

61
Q

What do endothelial cells (simple squamous) secrete?

A
  • Von Willebrand factor = bloot clot formation
  • Vasoconstrcitors = endothelin = contracts vessels
  • Collagen 2, 4, 5
  • Fibronectin = glycoprotein
  • Laminin = glycoprotein
62
Q

What 3 systems are activated to maintain cardiac output?

A

1) Increase in catecholamines from SNS = results in peripheral vasoconstriction = increased venous return
2) Renin-angiotensisn-aldosterone (RAAS) decreases kidney filtration & increases fluid retention = increases blood volume
3) Cardiac hypertrophy from increased sarcomeres in either parallel or series

63
Q

What is does concentric hypertrophy cause?

A

increases wall thickness (parallel sarcomere replication)

64
Q

What does eccentric hypertrophy cause?

A

increases wall length (series sarcomere replication)
