Q

How would you identify lymph in a neurovascular bundle?

A

contains only endothelium

31
Q

What causes a myocardial infarction?

A

Caused by a build-up of cholesterol (atherosclerosis)

  • Cholesterol damages endothelium
  • Formation of plaque then blocks the artery preventing flow
32
Q

Explain the process of myocardial repair

A

1) Blockage of coronary arteries = complete blood loss = muscle tissue dies

2) Neutrophils & macrophages clear out areas of dead (necrotic) cells

3) Fibroblasts use collagen to form scar tissue

33
Q

How does congestive heart failure (CHF) occur?

A

Occurs when heart is unable to pump enough blood due to cardiac hypertrophy

34

61
Q

What is #5?

A

62
Q

What do endothelial cells (simple squamous) secrete? (5)

HIGH yield

A
  • Von Willebrand factor = bloot clot formation
  • Endothelin = Vasoconstrcitors (contracts vessels)
  • Collagen 2, 4, 5= ECM fibers
  • Fibronectin = glycoprotein in ECM
  • Laminin = glycoprotein in ECM
63
Q

What 3 systems are activated to maintain cardiac output?

A

1) Increase in catecholamines from SNS = results in peripheral vasoconstriction = increased venous return
2) Renin-angiotensisn-aldosterone (RAAS) decreases kidney filtration & increases fluid retention = increases blood volume
3) Cardiac hypertrophy from increased sarcomeres in either parallel or series

64
Q

What is does concentric hypertrophy cause?

A

increases wall thickness (parallel sarcomere replication)

65
Q

What does eccentric hypertrophy cause?

A

increases wall length (series sarcomere replication)

66

Q
  1. Which of the following is NOT a distinguishing feature between larger veins, like the vena cava, and arteries?
    a. Veins have valves whereas arteries do not have valves
    b. The tunica adventitia in veins is not as clearly delimited as it is in arteries
    c. The walls in veins are thinner than the walls in arteries
    d. The tunica media in veins consists of elastic fibers whereas arteries consist of reticular fibers
A

    a. Medium vein
    b. Aorta
    c. Vena cava
    d. Muscular artery
