A

Capillaries are the site of material moving in and out of the circulatory system. There is gas exchange occurring at the tissue level and there is BULK FLOW of large amounts of ions, proteins, other nutrients and water.
The bulk flow OUT of the capillary occurs at the arteriole end. At the venule end, the fluid moves INTO the capillary from the tissue spaces. In health, approximately 85% of the fluid at the arteriole ends of the capillaries is reabsorbed at the venule end. Some of the escaped fluid and proteins will be returned to the blood via the lymphatic system. Approximately 20 liters of fluid filters out of the capillaries each day, 17 liters will be reabsorbed by the capillary and 3 liters enter the lymphatics. The HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE forces fluid out of the capillary while ONCOTIC PRESSURE helps to return fluid back to the vessel.

2. _______ comes in, ________ gets released and attaches to receptors. This activates the *________ which relaxes the tunica media.
3. In addition, Nitric oxide is synthesized and crosses the synapse, activating _______ ______. This converts ______ into _____
4. cGMP also leads to a relaxation of the tunica media, which leads to a _____________________, allowing the corpus cavernosum and corpus spongiosum to be filled.

A
  1. The brain sends an action potential down the pudendal nerve 2 things happen:
  2. Calcium comes in, acetylcholine gets released and attaches to receptors. This activates the G protein which relaxes the tunica media.
  3. In addition, Nitric oxide is synthesized and crosses the synapse, activating guanylate cyclase. This converts GTP into cGMP.
  4. cGMP also leads to a relaxation of the tunica media, which leads to a vasodilation of the artery and compression of the vein, allowing the corpus cavernosum and corpus spongiosum to be filled.

Q

Overview of ovarian function (1)
1. Females are born with ______ _______ (___ chromosomes) already within the ovaries. Thes primordial follicles that are found in each ovary will not develop any further until puberty, when there is a large increase in female hormones, specifically ____.
2. Each month, several primordial follicles will develop into ______FOLLICLES. Most of these primary follicles will eventually undergo ______ (degeneration). However, a few primary follicles become SECONDARY FOLLICLES. Usually ____ secondary follicle develops into a GRAAFIAN (Antral) FOLLICLE. This Graafian follicle will rupture, releasing the secondary oocyte which will do final maturation once fertilized into the Fallopian tube. This is termed _______

  1. The ruptured follicle that remains within the ovary will collapse, secrete hormones (estrogens and progesterone) and will be called a CORPUS LUTEUM. The corpus luteum is functional due to the production of Progesterone.
  2. Finally, at the end of the monthly cycle, the corpus luteum will become scar tissue called a CORPUS ALBICANS. The surface of the ovaries of older women will not be smooth, but scarred and pitted.
A
  1. Females are born with PRIMORDIAL FOLLICLES (46 chromosomes) already within the ovaries. Thes primordial follicles that are found in each ovary will not develop any further until puberty, when there is a large increase in female hormones, specifically FSH.
  2. Each month, several primordial follicles will develop into PRIMARY FOLLICLES. Most of these primary follicles will eventually undergo ATRESIA (degeneration). However, a few primary follicles become SECONDARY FOLLICLES. Usually one secondary follicle develops into a GRAAFIAN (Antral) FOLLICLE. This Graafian follicle will rupture, releasing the secondary oocyte which will do final maturation once fertilized into the Fallopian tube. This is termed OVULATION.
