Q

Osmotic effects of dissolved proteins is referring to

A

Colloid osmotic pressure

49
Q

If the capillary cell wall is not permeable to blood proteins, but it is permeable to fluid and small molecules, this results in

A

Plasma colloid osmotic pressure

50
Q

Plasma colloid osmotic pressure is the long way of saying

A

plasma oncotic pressure

51
Q

Oncotic is the same as

A

plasma osmotic

52
Q

A

PIEp and PIEcap

53
Q

a normal plasma oncotic pressure is

A

28mmHg

54
Q

What proteins make up the plasma osmotic pressure

A

albumin, fibrinogen, immunoglobulin

55
Q

If we hemorrhage or have liver failure, why does fluid leak out of the vascular system?

A

We dont have the colloids needed to maintain pressure and keep them in the capillaries.

56
Q

If we have something that makes the walls of the capillaries more porous than normal?

A

Vessel loses osmotic pressure

57
Q

Osmotic pressure is dependent on

A

a semi-permeable membrane where fluid can move but dissolved substances cant.

58
Q

Why can’t you just give septic patients albumin?

A

Primarily, it doesnt matter if cells are permeable to proteins. Secondarily, the capillaries are permeable to the proteins and the albumin can just leak out of the vascular space causing more damage

59
Q

a reduced PIEp/PIEcap would result in

A

difficulty in keeping fluid in CV system

60
Q

PIEisf/PIEif proteins are ____ and what are the names of them

A

matrix proteins that hangout in ISF.
Largest is Proteoglycan filaments, another large one is Hyaluronic acid, usually dont move in/out of capillary very easy.
Collagen is also present.

61
Q

PIEisf/PIEif has more or less proteins than PIEp/PIEcap

A

PIEp/PIEcap has way more

62
Q

What is the normal pressure for PIEif/Pisf

A

8mmHg

63
Q

PIEisf/PIEif will act just a little to _____ fluid movement in the interstitium, but this is _________ by the fact that there is __________ colloids inside the capillary.

A

favor; outweighed; more

64
Q

What can cause an increased amount of colloids in the PIEif/PIEisf? why?

A

trauma, sepsis.

Trauma: If we destroy our cells unplanned, all the stuff within the cell will be scattered into the ISF.

Sepsis: if our capillaries turn into swiss cheese, the colloids within the vessel that arent normally permeable will leak into the ISF.

65
Q

If we have trauma, whats going to be the fluid shift?

A

The cells die due to trauma, and release tons of proteins into the ISF, increasing PIEif/PIEisf, which draws fluid into the ISF and causes swelling.

66
Q

During sepsis, we’ve established that proteins can leak into the ISF. What about when sepsis is corrected, what can we do about the increased proteins in the ISF?

A

They’re going to continue to be a headache for you because there is no easy way to get them back into the vasculature. Thats why there is swelling and edema.

Eventually, the lymphatics will pick them up, but the rate is very slow, because lymphatics normally just absorn excess fluid. Even slower if the patient is bed bound and not moving around!

67
Q

the lymphatics job in the ISF

A

absorb excess fluid out of the ISF

NOT proteins, normally!

68
Q

What is the only way for the proteins to get back into the plasma?

A

Through the lymphatic system

69
Q

What makes the lymphatics work faster?

A

Moving around! Slower when bed bound

70
Q

How fast can the lymphatic system pick up the pace?

A

20-40x faster for fluid! But cant really speed up for proteins, thats super slow.

71
Q

What are the 2 circulatory systems in the body?

A

Cardiovascular and lymphatic system!

72
Q

Surgeons need to know the topography of the _________

A

lymphatic system

73
Q

Secondary to all the other pressure factors of the capillaries is the _______ and what is it related to?

A

Kf

Capillary filtration coefficient!
It’s related to how permeable the capillaries are, more referring to fluid rather than proteins/other compounds. It also takes into account surface area.

74
Q

3 main proteins that make up the total capillary oncotic pressure

A

Albumin, globulins, fibrinogen. It totals up to 28mmHg PIEp

75
Q

Whats the largest capillary protein contributing to overall PIEp pressure?

A

lymphatic flow

81
Q

what is the range for lymphatic flow?

A

1-20+

82
Q

What do SCDs do?

A

simulates normal movement of fluids in the leg for a bed bound patient and increases lymphatic flow

83
Q

What forces contribute to filtration?

A

PCap/Pc arteriolar end being 30, and Pif/Pisf being -3mmHg, and PIEif/PIEisf being 8mmhg

84
Q

What forces oppose filtration?

A

the plasma oncotic pressure (PIEp/PIEcap) of 28mmHg

85
Q

What is the Net filtration Force/pressure (NFF) on the arteriolar end if all pressures are normal?

A

Pc of 30+ Pif of 3 (positive 3 even tho its -3) + PIEif of 8 = 41mmHg
subtract PIEp of 28

NFF is 13mmHg

86
Q

What is the NFF on the venular end if all pressures are normal?

A

Pc of 10 + Pif of 3 + PIEif of 8 = 21
subtract PIEp of 28

NFF = -7mmHg

87
Q

NFF of arteriolar end

A

13mmHg, promoting filtration.

88
Q

NFF of venular end

A

-7mmHg, promoting reabsorption.

89
Q

What is the NFF in the MIDDLE of the capillary vessel?

A

+3mmHg, possibly.. Idk if he would ask this. But thats the middle of two ends.

90
Q

If the NFF of the arteriolar end is 13, and the NFF of the venular end is -7.. this seems slightly imbalanced with excess fluid being filtered but not reabsorbed. What corrects that?

A

lymphatic system absorbs it!

91
Q

What would you say the NFF of the lymphatic system is?

A

-6mmHg, possibly. idk if he would ask this. But this is what would balance out the NFF to zero.

92
Q

What is the net capillary pressure?

A

You would think its 20, since delta P is 20, and thats halfway between 30 and 10.

But, the net capillary pressure is actually 17.3mmHg.

93
Q

Why is the net capillary pressure below 20mmHg?

A

Capillaries get larger as we go from arteriolar end to venular end, so the net capillary pressure leans closer to 10 than 30.

94
Q

What is the net filtration pressure (NFF/NFP) on average?

A

0.3mmHg

While this is super low, the amount of capillaries around the body makes that pretty significant, and thats where the lymphatic system comes in.

95

A

water, 1.0

96
Q

General Capillaries are how permeable to NaCl?

A

most permeable of all the ions/molecules, 0.96

Openings in between endothelial cells in the capillaries allow

A

real small molecules like NaCl and water.

98
Q

Where does NaCl not get in in between epithelial cells?

A

Blood brain barrier, super tight.

99
Q

What is least permeable to the capillaries?

A

Albumin, its huge.

100
Q

What is the trend for capillary permeability

A

larger the molecule weight, the less permeable, but this is tissue specific.

101
Q

MAP of blood pressure going into renal artery is

A

100mmHg

102
Q

Why does the renal vein have such a low blood pressure?

A

It drops as it moves throughout the kidney due to vascular resistance. The pressure is directly related to how much VR.

104
Q

Glomerular capillaries

A

First capillary set in series of 2 capillary beds

A

Couple larger arteries that split a bunch of times from renal artery

106
Q

What controls the blood pressure of glomerular capillaries? And what does the pressure determine?

A

Afferent arterioles, which will end up determining how much filtration we have in glomerular capillaries.

107
Q

Glomerular capillaries specialized and set up to

A

have a lot of filtration

108
