Homeostasis of blood Flashcards
Hyperemia
accumulation of blood in peripheral circulation
Active or passive
Acute or chronic
Active hyperemia
Dilation of arterioles and influx of blood in capillaries
Blushing or exercise
-Mediated by neural signs- relaxation of arteriolar smooth muscle
Feature of acute inflammation
Passive hyperemia
congestion
by venous back pressure
chronic hydrostatic, edema, and deoxygenated blood - cyanosis
Typical of heart failure- pulmonary edema- blood in alveoli- RBCs degrading to hemosiderin- accumulates in lysosomes of macrophages- called heart failure cells are seen in mucus
Hemorrhage for capillary
pinpoint droplets of blood on the surface of the skin or mucosa or other tissues
can be because of trauma , increased venous, pressure or weak capillary walls in scurvy
hemorrhage venous
they contain RBCs and plasma
clotting factors of plasma are activated on contact with tissue
clot or thrombus, includes the defect of a vessel wall
Can be traumatic
Deoxygenated blood
Does not have a pulsating flow versus arterial
External or internal Hypovolemia
Hematomas in tissues
hemorrhage can be…
Cardiac
Aortic
Arterial
Nose
Skin
Brain
Lungs
G.I. system
gu system
Uterus
cardiac hemorrhage, fatal
Gun shot or stab wound
softening of muscle after heart attack ventricular rupture
Aortic hemorrhage
by trauma, a car accident
aneurysm, wall weakening and dilation, aortic rupture
arterial hemorrhage
Penetrating wounds by a bullet or knife
Fracture bone
Pulsating and bright red color, oxygenated blood
Must stop the hemorrhage
nose hemorrhage
epistaxis and leukemia
Skin hemorrhage
petechiae
purpura
ecchymosis
Brain hemorrhage
Epidural, subdural hemorrhage
Lung hemorrhage
Hemoptysis
G.I. system hemorrhage
hematemesis-mouth
Hematochezia - fresh blood
melena- old blood
GU system hemorrhage
Hematuria
uterus hemorrhage
Metorehagia uterine, menorrhagia
The consequences of hemorrhage depends on
The amount
Site
Duration
one episode is better tolerated then repeat
Young person can tolerate better than an old debilitated one
What amount of hemorrhage can be tolerated?
500 milliliters
One unit of blood
Massive hemorrhage amount
1500 mL blood loss
Exsanguination, hypovolemic shock, death
hematoma
Causes Compression of tissues
Acute hemorrhage
Intracerebral hemorrhage
Stroke, death
Loss of neurons in paralysis by destruction of motor centers
Subacute chronic
