fluids & vascular Flashcards
what side of the heart pumps to the lungs?
Right side
what side of the heart pumps to the systemic circulation?
left side
Describe arteries ?
- distribution center
- rapid blood flow w/ minimal resistant
- high flow rate & high pressure
- Thick tunic media
- expand during heart contraction
describe veins ?
collection system
what happens to arteries after heart contraction?
passively recoil to provide continuous flow & pressure btwn contraction
what are the major vascular. resistance vessels that distribute blood to areas of need?
arterioles
How are arterioles controlled smooth muscle contraction ?
- systemic innervation
2. local stimuli
describe arterioles ?
narrow lumen controlled by smooth m. & elastic fiber
what is the site of nutrient product exchange btwn blood & tissue ?
capillaries
How much does capillaries make up total blood volume?
5%
What is the velocity in capillaries ?
low
what are the type of capillaries ?
- continuous
- fenestrated
- discontinuous ( sinusoidal)
what is the post capillary venues in the systemic circulation to return blood to the heart with thin wall & very distensible ?
venues
describe venues ?
- low vascular resistance
- low pressure & velocity
- maintains blood flow
- stores 65% of blood volume
What is the blind ended capillaries parallel vascular capillaries ?
lymphatic system
Describe lymphatic system?
- large inter-endothelial gaps
- values prevents back flow
- low pressure vessels w/ smooth m.
Where does the lymphatic capillaries drain into & where does it eventually end up?
- larger vessel that enter lymph nodes
2. thoracic duct to vena cava
How does the low pressure vessels with smooth m. allow ?
fluid to enter back into blood
when is there an active states btwn the blood & interstitial ?
- oxidative stress
- inflammation
- infectious agents
- trauma
What does an active states btwn blood & interitium perform?
- release vasoactive & cytokine mediators
- activate clotting system
- fluid loss (edema) or hemorrhage
what in the interstitial will act as receptors for leukocytes to transit from blood into intersitum?
Adhesive glycoproteins
what is the extracellular matrix composed of in the intersitium ?
- Type I collagen
2. adhesive glycoproteins
Water makes up what percent of the body weight ?
60%
what percents of water is composed in the insterstitium?
80% ECF
what percent of water is composed in the plasma?
20%
Where does blood pool in right sided heart failure ?
systemic circulation
