Hemodynamics Flashcards
artery or vein? label the layers from outer-most to inner-most
artery or vein? Label parts
vein
what structural components differentiates a vein and artery microscopically?
elastic lamina
define edema
abnormal accumulation of fluid in interstitium and tisssues
list the four main causes of edema
- increased microvascular permeability (leaky vessel)
- increased vascular hydrostatic pressure
- decreased intravascular osmotic pressure
- decreased lymphatic drainage
ID the pathologies and describe colors
edema
list the two main causes of non-inflammatory edema
hepatic failure
heart failure
describe the two pathologies that cause edema from liver failure
reduced albumin production > decreased oncotic pressure > edema
portal hypertension aka blocked blood from stomach/intestines to the liver > increased hydrostatic pressure > edema
how does heart failure (dec CO and RAAS) cause edema?
dec CO > dec BF to kidneys > kidney sense reduction in volume > inc fluid volume through Na and H20 by activating RAAS > inc reabsorption of sodium > water retention > inc hydrostatic pressure
renin production by RAAS > angiotensin converted to angiotensin II > angiotensin II causes vasoconstriction > inc hydrostatic pressure
angiotensin II stimulates secretion of ADH > inc water permeability in CD > inc water retention > inc hydrostatic pressure
define hyperemia. is it an active or passive process?
arteriolar dilation causing a local increase in volume of blood
active process
list ways in which hyperemia occurs
inflammation
physical activity
increased blood flow to GI after food
physiologic mechanism to dissipate heat
define congestion. is it active or passive?
passive
impaired/decreased outflow of blood
list ways in which congestion occurs
CHF
local venous obstruction
organ displacement
ID hyperemia or congestion
hyperemia - called erythema in the skin
ID hyperemia or congestion
congestion
ID hyperemia or congestion
CHRONIC congestion
define erythrophagocytosis
macrophages that contain whole RBCs
define hemosiderin-laden macrophages
brown, iron containing from breakdown of RBC
heart failure cells
define hemostasis
PHYSIOLOGICAL response to vascular damage and stops bleeding
define thrombosis
PATHOLOGIC activation of hemostatic process to induce clot
what is virchow’s triad?
factors that contribute to hemostasis and thrombosis
1. endothelial injury !!!
2. abnormal blood flow
3. blood hypercoaguability
describe the hemostatic process (4 steps)
- primary hemostasis - vasoconstriction and platelet aggregation to form platelet plug at damaged site
- secondary hemostasis - coagulation to form fibrin mesh
- fibrinolysis - remove platelet/fibrin plug
- tissue/vascular repair
what is von willebrand factor? what step of the hemostatic process is it involved in?
protein that helps blood clot - glue for platelets to bind to injury
primary hemostasis
what is tissue factor? what step of the hemostatic process is it involved in?
initiates extrinsic path of coagulation cascade
secondary hemostasis
describe the intrinsic coagulation cascade
factors 12 11, 9, 8 -> common path, factor 10 -> (prothrombin to thrombin factor 2) -> fibrinogen (1) -> fibrin clot
describe the extrinsic coagulation cascade
tissue factor 3 -> factor 7 -> common path, factor 10 -> (prothrombin to thrombin factor 3) -> fibrinogen -> fibrin clot
