Q

What are the two ways Nitric Oxide is made?

A

ACh or Bradykinin binds to a muscarinic GPCR that activates the release of Ca2+ from the ER. The Ca2+ that is released binds to Calmodulin. The Ca2+-Calmodulin complex activates eNOS which converts arginine to NO.

High shear stress can trigger the release of NO.

Q

How does NO cause relaxation?

A

NO is diffused from the endothelium to the vascular smooth muscle and activates guanylyl cyclase.

GTP is converted to cGMP

cGMP will activate PKG.

PKG will inhibit Ca2+ channels and activate myosin light chain phosphatase. Leading to relaxation.

25
Q

What are areas devoid of gel-like quality in the interstitial fluid called?

A

Rivulets of Free Fluid, just made up of water.

(53:45).

26
Q

What is a way to move immense amount of water into the interstitial space?

A

Infection can affect the capillary permeability where proteins are filtered out and bring quite a bit of fluid along with them.

If enough fluid enters the rivulets of free fluid and expand the size of them. The rivulets can bud up right next to the capillary and make a pathway for water movement resulting in pitting edema.

(55:00).

27
Q

A

Capillary Membrane

28
Q

Plasma makes ups 3 L of our total blood volume. Where does the other 2 L come from?

A

2 Liters come from intracellular fluid, this would get us a total blood volume of 5 Liters. (70:30)

60%

29
Q

    (-3 mmHg)
  3. Interstitial Fluid Colloid Osmotic Pressure (πISF)
    (8 mmHg)
  4. Capillary Colloid Osmotic Pressure (πCAP)
    (28 mmHg)
30
Q

What is hydrostatic pressure?

What is the hydrostatic pressure at the arteriole end of a capillary?

What is fluid movement out of the capillary called?

A

Another term for PCAP. This is the physical fluid pressure generated by the pump.

30 mmHg

FILTRATION. 30 mmHg of hydrostatic pressure would be pushing fluid out of the capillary.

(72:30)

31
Q

What is the value of the interstitial fluid pressure?

What does this force favor in regards to the capillaries?

What 2 factors stated per lecture contribute to our negative interstitial fluid pressure?

A

Filtration, negative pressure will pull fluid out of the capillaries.

  1. Lymphatic System
  2. Skin Tightness

(74:30)

32
Q

A

8 mmHg ( πISF, this would favor filtration and pull fluid out of the capillaries.

(77:50)

33
Q

What are the forces that favor filtration out of the capillary?

What is the total filtration pressure?

Capillary Protein/Colloid Osmotic Pressure (πCAP)

Oncotic Pressure

28 mmHg

(79:00)

35
Q

A
  1. Albumin - protein
  2. Globulins - protein
  3. Fibrinogens - protein
  4. Donnan Effect - pressure contributed by charged ions that keeps fluids from moving out of the capillary.

(80:15)

36
Q

What is the pressure contribution of the Donnan Effect?

What is the pressure contribution of the other 3 proteins that contribute to capillary oncotic pressure?

A

9 mmHg

19 mmHg

(83:00)

37
Q

What is the net filtration pressure of the arteriole end of the systemic capillary? What does this favor?

What is the net filtration pressure of the venular end of the systemic capillary? What does this favor?

A

13 mmHg / Favors Filtration
41 mmHg- 28 mmHg = 13 mmHg

-7 mmHg / Favors Reabsorption
21 mmHg - 28 mmHg = -7 mmHg
**Hydrostatic pressure in the venous end of the capillary is 10 mmHg instead of 30 mmHg.

38
Q

What two components balance out the pressure in the arteriolar and venular ends of the capillaries?

A
  1. Some capillaries have larger surface areas on the venular end than the arteriolar end.
  2. Branching of the capillaries will have favor venular end than arteriolar end of the capillary.
    (90:00)
39
Q

What is the average capillary blood pressure?

What is the excessive average net filtration pressure of the total systemic capillary?

What collects excessive filtration?

0.3 mmHg
Explanation too long to type out, refer to time stamp.
(92:30)

Lymphatic systemic

40
Q

What is the average flow rate of the lymphatic system in a healthy individual and not bed bound?

A

120 ml/hr (works out to 2-3L/day)

(95:00)

41
Q

Give two reason why protein leaking out of the capillary into the interstitium can be bad?

Will the lymphatic system resolve the excess of proteins?

A
  1. Since protein is no longer in the CV system, they will not be able to keep fluid in.
  2. Long term problem: proteins that originally leaked out will not be able to go back into the capillary. This will instead contribute to the πISF pressure.

Eventually, the lymphatic system reabsorbs proteins VERY slowing. This will take forever. (98:00)

42
Q

What quality does the lymphatic system have that does not allow fluid to move backwards?

How can you get fluid to move through the lymphatic system?

A

one-way valves (98:49)

Through contractions and relaxations of muscles, body movement. Same idea as the muscle pump for blood return to the heart.

43
Q

How much can the lymphatic flow increase from baseline in a healthy individual?

A

20 fold increase

120 mL/hr can increase to 2400 mL/hr.

44
Q

What is the point of entry back into the CV system from the lymphatics?

A

Subclavian Veins/ Top of the Thorax ( 102:30)

45
Q

What can increase capillary pressure in the arteriole end?

What can increase capillary pressure in the venous end?

A

Hypertension increase pressure on the arteriolar side of the capillaries will increase filtration.

Heart Failure, increases CVP which will increase capillary pressure on the venular side from 10 mmHg to 20-25 mmHg. The venular side of the capillaries will now favor filtration instead of reabsorption. (106:15)

46
