Final Deck 2 Flashcards
what does first degree AV block look like on ECG
PR segment elongated (>5 little boxes)
Where would we find large clefts in capillary wall
Liver and gut (so water soluble substances can cross)
What is a major. Contributor to osmotic pressure in the blood
Albumin
Whats the largest starling force that influences movement of fluid out of the capillary
Capillary hydrostatic pressure
where in the circulatory system do we usually see starling forces at work allowing fluid passage from a vessel
capillary at arteriolar end
when fluid leads from capillaries into interstitial, how do we get it back into the bloodstream
lymphatics
whats the equation to determine net movement of starling forces
forces out - forces in
Pc+Osmi) - (Pi+Osmc
what condition alters the starling forces
edema
heart failure elevates venous pressure and this greatly affects which of the starling forces
hydrostatic pressure of the capillary (Pc)
capillary osmotic pressure would be greatly affected by a decrease of ___ in the blood which could be due to starvation or liver failure
albumin
how much lymph fluid re-enters the subclavian vein per day
2-3 liters
what happens to vessels (via local metabolic control) when metabolites are high and O2 is low in tissue because of increased metabolic rate
ACTIVE HYPEREMIA: arteriole SM and precapillary sphincter relaxation to allow more blood flow
what is reactive hyperemia
vascular obstruction leads to metabolite build up –> vasodilation
when capillaries dilate for metabolic reasons, what are the upstream effects of the change in blood flow ?
flow in arterioles increases (shear force) causing NO release which leads to vasodilation
sympathetics have what effect on vasculature
vasoconstriction
what does serotonin do to vasculature
vasoconstriction (after damage)
what do histamine and bradykinin do to vasculature
arteriolar vasodilation (and edema)
whats the main mechanism of control for both cerebral and coronary circulation
metabolic
pulmonary arteries have much more ___ than systemic arteries. thus small pressure change significantly dilates these to reduce resistance and maintain low pressure.
compliant
how does sympathetic stimulation effect blood flow to skin
decreases
how does sympathetic stimulation effect blood flow to skeletal muscle
increase
what type of shunt is present if blood is passing from systemic veins to systemic arteries without passing lung tissue
right to left
what type of shunt is present if blood is passing from systemic arteries to systemic veins without passing through a capillary bed
left to right
when vascular SM is stretched, it contracts according to ____. this means when BP increases, there is vasoconstriction in order to keep ___ constant.
myogenic hypothesis, flow
