Question 4

What is an anurysm?

Bulge in vessel as a result of weakening of the media.

Question 5

Answer 5

1) hypertension
2) inherited thin media
3) atherosclerosis.
4) secondary to infection.

Question 6

The 4 main ways of developing edema:

Answer 6

1) Increased capillary pressure
2) Decreased plasma proteins
3) Reduced lymphatic drainage
4) Increased capillary åermability.

Question 7

Typer of edema:

Answer 7

1) non-inflammatory. Transudate protein poor. Usually heart failure.
2) inflammatory: exudate protein rich. Increased capillary permability as a result of mediators.
