Q

What are the factors that determine if fluid will be filtered out of a capillary?

A

Starling Capillary Forces

36
Q

What are the Starling Capillary Forces?

A
  1. Hydrostatic Pressure in Capillary
  2. Hydrostatic Pressure in ISF
  3. Plasma Colloid Osmotic/Oncotic Pressure
  4. Interstitial Fluid Colloid Osmotic Pressure
37
Q

What is hydrostatic pressure in the capillary?

A

Arterial end: Pcap = 30 mmHg

Venous end: Pcap = 10 mmHg

38
Q

What is the Hydrostatic Pressure in ISF in the capillary?

A

PISF = -3 mmHg

39
Q

Why is hydrostatic pressure in ISF negative?

A

Lymphatic pull excess fluid out of ISF –> causes pressure to be negative and FAVOR FILTRATION

Favoring filtration = pulling fluids out
arterial end = this increases filtration
venous end = this reduces reabsorption

40
Q

If there was something wrong with your lymphatic system and it wasnt draining, how would this effect your starling forces?

A

PISF would increase and no longer be negative. It would be a positive number

-Reduced filtration at arterial end
-promote reabsorption at venous end

Increases blood/fluid volume
Think pathologies that have involvements with increased fluid volume

41
Q

What is plasma oncontic pressure?

A

πcap = 28 mmHg

Dissolved colloids in the capillary
Force wants to pull fluid into capillary

42
Q

What is the Interstitial Fluid Colloid Osmotic Pressure?

A

πISF = 8 mmHg

Dissolved colloids in ISF
Force wants to pull fluid into ISF
BUT IS OUTWEIGHTED BY STRONGER PLASMA ONCOTIC PRESSURE

43
Q

T/F: Capillary wall is permeable to colloids

A

F

Impermeable

44
Q

What are pathologies that can cause capillary wall to become permeable to colloids? What will happen?

A

Sepsis
ARDS
Severe Burn injuries

Colloids from capillaries will leak out into ISF. This will make it difficult to keep your BP up. And replacing the colloids wont work bc they will just continue to leak out until capillaries are healed.

45
Q

What is the Capillary Filtration Coefficient?

A

Kf = 12.5 mL/min/mmHg

that shows how permeable the capillaries are to FLUID; factors in surface area
– capillary expands = More surface area = more fluid movement

46
Q

What 3 things make up plasma oncotic pressure?

A

Albumin<– primary
Fibrinogen - 2nd most important
Immunoglobulin/globulin

47
Q

What pathologies can drop your plasma oncotic pressure? What happens with this?

A

Hemmorhage
Liver failure

It becomes hard to keep fluids in the CVS because we don’t have colloids needed for the osmotic pressure to actually create that pressure.

48
Q

T/F: when capillary walls become more permeable to proteins, those proteins lose some of the osmotic pressure associated with them.

A

T

double whammy :(
That means that capillary walls becoming more permeable to proteins becomes a PROBLEM before those proteins start leaking out the capillary

Keep looking at this card until you understand

49
Q

Osmotic pressure is dependent on a ____________ membrane

A

semi permeable

50
Q

Describe the pathology for capillary death

A

Localized capillaries severely damaged –> colloids from inside the capillaries are now in ISF –> increases localized πISF –> pulls fluid out of localized capillaries –> SWELLING/EDEMA

51
Q

The ______ has more dissolved colloids

A

Capillary

52
Q

What is interstitial fluid? What does it consist of?

A

Matrix protein & substances that sit between cells (intersitual space)

Proteins: Collagen
Proteoglycan filaments
Hylauronic acid

53
Q

How does swelling go down after capillaries walls have healed from being permeable to colloids? How?

A

The lymphatics!

The extra fluid in the ISF is able to be sucked up by the lymphatics and taken back up into the CVS! How fun :(

54
Q

Where does lymphatics deposit excess fluid into the CVS?

A

The top of the thorax/chest

lymphatic ducts at the top of the thorax connect to large veins for emptying of excess lymphatic fluids

55
Q

The lymphatics _______ rate when muscles are contracting and relaxing, but they _______ rate if you are bedbound.

A

Increase

Decrease

56
Q

Why do the lymphatics take longer to work if you are bed bound?

A

They are based on movement. The lymphatics depend on a valve opening and closing which depends on your muscles relaxing and contracting. This allows fluid to move; the fluid cannot move if muscles are not contracting/relaxing.

57
Q

Lymphatics can scavange FLUID ______ fold increase. What does this require?

A

20-30x fold increase

Requires you to be moving

58
Q

What are lymph nodes?

A

Areas of collection that lymphatic vessels tie into.

59
Q

__________ drives flow through the venous and lymphatic circulation

A

Light muscle activity (moving around)

60
Q

Compare/contrast the lymphatic and venous circulatory system

A

Venous: 1-way valve system
-returns blood to heart
against the lymphatic system
depends on skeletal muscle movement

Lymphatic: 1-way valve system
-takes excess ISF/colloids to top of thorax to CVS
against venous system
depends on skeletal muscle movement

61
Q

What is the lymphatic pumping system?

A

as the skeletal muscle contracts/relaxes it opens/closes the 1-way valves which encourages flow of fluid

62
Q

What will happen to lymph fluid if you are not moving?

A

Skeletal muscles not contracting/relaxing –> 1-way valves not able to open –> fluid stuck in lower extremities

63
Q

What helps with lymph circulation if bed bound?

A

SCDs
Passive ROM

64
Q

What do SCDs help with?

A

Lymphatic circulation
Venous circulation

65
Q

What capillary starling force is effected if we are bedbound? How?

A

PISF

It will increase

this will decrease filtration at arterial end and increase reabsorption at venous end

66
Q

Equation: Net Filtration Pressure

A

NFP = (PCAP - PISF) - ∂(πCAP - πISF)

∂ = protein permeability: (1 = impermeable; 0 = permeable)
assume ∂ = 1 unless stated capillary is permeable to proteins

67
Q

What is the NFP at the arterial and venous end? What does this mean?

A

Arterial end = 13 mmHg
Venous = -7 mmHg

There’s more fluid being filtered into the ISF than being reabsorbed into the CVS. This extra fluid is NORMAL IN A HEALTHY PERSON and is scavanged by the lymphatics

68
Q

What is the BP in the center of a capillary? Why?

A

17.3 mmHg

Capillaries get larger from front to end –> average pressure is lower than half (would expect to be 20)

69
Q

What is the NFP in the capillaries?

A

0.3 mmHg

NFP = (17.3 - (-3)) - 1(28 - 8)

NFP = (PCAP - PISF) - ∂(πCAP - πISF)

70
Q

The ______ the molecular wt the less likely it is to fit in between the space between the endothelial cell. It has ________ permeability.

A

higher

decreased

71
Q

Albumin has a ______ molecular wt therefore it has a ________ capillary permeability

A

high

low

72
Q

T/F: Glucose is important to the brain therefore it can cross its barrier freely

A

F

It is important to the brain, but the brain has tight junctions

Glucose gets into the brain via GLUT1 & GLUT3 transporters

73
Q

What is the pressure going into the renal artery? What is the pressure leaving the renal vein? Why? Calculate ∆P

A

100 mmHg

0 mmHg

Vascular resistance encountered throughout the kidney decreases the pressure.

∆P = 100 mmHg

74
Q

What is Glomerular filtration rate?

A

GFR = 125 ml/min

rate of fluid moving from GC to Bowman’s capsule (nephron)

75
Q

AA =

A

Afferent Arterioles

76
Q

Describe the AA

A

-High resistance arterioles
-immediately upstream from GC
- determines BP in GC
Reason for drop in pressure in GC

77
Q

GC =

A

Glomerular Capillaries

78
Q

What is the pressure in the GC? why?

A

60 mmHg

Blood passes through the AA which reduces pressure

79
Q

What is the driving force behind GFR?

A

High pressure in the GC (60 mmHg)

It is double that of a normal capillary (30) therefore it pushes fluids out (drives filtration)

80
Q

What is the 1st capillary bed we encounter in the kidneys?

A

GC

81
Q

How many capillary beds are in each nephron?

A

2

82
Q

Where does filtration happen?

A

GC (pushes fluids out)
Bowman’s capsule (catches what’s filtered)

83
Q

What is the nephron forming?

A

urine

84
Q

How much is glucose managed in the kidney?

A

All is filtered and all should be reabsorbed if WNL

85
Q

T/F: RBC are easily filtered at the GC

A

F

Not small and not filtered unless something is wrong

86
Q

T/F: No proteins are filtered

A

F

A few proteins are actually filtered, but not a large amount. The few that are filtered get handled by the kidney.
