Q

What happens to a person with liver failure who doesn’t have enough plasma proteins being produced?

A

Plasma proteins help make the blood the right viscosity. And if we don’t have those, the blood gets thinner and makes less friction. This means less resistance and lower blood pressure.

Q

What is the Pressure Gradient of thoracic part of IVC and abdominopelvic part of IVC?

A

At the inferior part of the IVC, there is more pressure on it bc pressure in the abdominopelvic cavity went up, it pushes more on the IVC, so the pressure in the IVC (abdominal part) goes up.

I lower pressure on the thoracic cavity, which means the pressure on the thoracic part of the IVC went down so the pressure in the IVC went down.

Outward pressures added together - inward pressure added together = Net Filtration

87
Q

If OUT - IN is NEGATIVE, it is called __________.

A

Reabsorption

88
Q

The most important pressure is what?

A

Capillary Hydrostatic Pressure

89
Q

Why is the Capillary Hydrostatic Pressure most important?

A

It is bigger than the other pressures and one most likely to change

90
Q

If my arterial BP goes up, further down the line, what happens to my capillary hydrostatic pressure?

A

my capillary hydrostatic pressure up

91
Q

For about the first 2/3rd of a capillary the outward pressures are more than the inward pressures. What does this mean?

A

It means that water is moving out of the capillary.

92
Q

If water is moving out of the capillary, what happens to the capillary hydrostatic pressure?

A

Capillary hydrostatic pressure goes down because there is less blood in the capillary

93
Q

What happens to capillary osmotic pressure when water is moving out of the capillary?

A

Osmotic pressure goes up because particles are NOT leaving, the water is. (Same # of particles but less and less water.)

94
Q

When water leaves the capillary, where does it go?

A

Interstitial Fluid

95
Q

As we move down the capillary and the water is leaving, what happens?

A

the capillary hydrostatic pressure is dropping and interstitial fluid osmotic pressure goes up.

96
Q

As we move along the capillary, what happens to the outward and inner pressure?

A

The outward pressure gets smaller and the inward pressure are increasing.

97
Q

At one point in this capillary, under normal circumstances, 2/3 to 3/4 of the way down, the inward pressures are going to become MORE than the outward pressures. What does it do?

A

To put water back in the capillary

98
Q

At the beginning of a capillary, a healthy person in a resting situation, the capillary hydrostatic pressure is___________.

A

35 mm Hg

99
Q

At the end of a capillary the capillary hyrdostatic pressure is__________.

A

18 mm Hg

100
Q

Capillary Hydrostatic Pressure dropped in half. The only way to do that is when….

A

You want water to leave

101
Q

The same # of particles in progressively less water, the concentration of particles has to go __________.

A

UP

102
Q

When we have less and less water in the capillary, what happens?

A

The capillary hydrostatic pressure drops

103
Q

When we have more and more water outside the capillary diluting the particles, what happens?

A

The Interstitial fluid osmotic pressure drops, capillary osmotic pressure goes up to suck water in, increase hydrostatic pressure to push more water in.

104
Q

As we move down the capillary, there’s a point at which is equal. Before that, out pressure > inward pressure , what happens during this?

A

pulling water in the capillary

105
Q

After that, the rest of the length of the capillary, inward pressure > outward pressure, what happens during this?

A

pulling water back in the capillary.

106
Q

In a normal situation, in the last 1/3 or 1/4 of the capillary, you will reabsorb…

A

90% of water that get filtered in the first 3/4

107
Q

If a person has hypertension and their capillary hydrostatic pressure starts with 50 mm Hg,

A

Even though fluid is moving, bc my capillary hydrostatic pressure is high coming into the capillary, instead of hitting balance point. Bc Out > In pressure for more of a length of a capillary, i’m filtering more water by far than reabsorbing. Blood volume goes down bc leaving water outside the blood vessel.

108
Q

What does edema tell you in a patient?

A

It tells you that their outward pressure are high longer than they should be. Either something is wrong with their CHP or IFOP which causes fluid to move out.

109
Q

If a patient is dehydrated, what does this tell us about the pressure?

A

COP is higher than it should be.
It means when i add my COP to my interstitial fluid, my outward pressure > inward pressure EARLIER in the length of the capillary. Steals water from interstitial fluid to increase blood volume.

110
Q

What raises CHP?

A

it makes you filter more water out and lower blood volume

111
Q

What lowers CHP?

A

move balance point to beginning point of the capillary and lets you pull in more water.

112
Q

What lowers COP?

A

filter more

113
Q

What is the main outward pressure?

A

Capillary Hydrostatic Pressure

114
Q

What is my main inward pressure?

A

Capillary Osmotic Pressure.

115
Q

What causes capillary osmotic pressure?

A

particles in the blood attracting water

116
Q

What happens to a person with a low COP?

A

A person with liver failure and can’t make enough plasma proteins and can’t hold water in blood vessel and their blood volume drops.

117
Q

What is pulmonary edema?

A

Water has left the pulmonary capillaries and is accumulating in the air sacs. CHP is too high or COP is too low.

118
Q

At your capillaries_______________ move from the plasma into the interstitial fluid by filtration.

A

24 L of fluid

119
Q

How many liters of those 24 L will be reabsorbed in the same capillary?

A

20.4 L

120
Q

What is the goal of regulation for your cardiovascular system?

A

to maintain arterial blood pressure high enough to guarantee that all your parts are getting perfused (blood is getting delivered to them)

121
Q

What helps us get blood to the areas of the body that need blood?

A

Local autoregualtion

122
Q

What is Local autoregulation?

A

adjusting the resistance of arterioles in a particular area based on the chemical environment.

123
Q

If O2 is low in a particular region, what does this cause?

A

Vasodilation of the arterioles

124
Q

If I dilate blood vessels that lead to a place that needs more O2, what happens to the resistance?

A

there’s less resistance and more blood will go that way.

125
Q

What causes vasodilation?

A

-O2 is low
-CO2 levels high
-Temperature being high
-pH being low

126
Q

What causes vasoconstriction?

A
  • O2 is high
    -CO2 is low
127
Q

What is Reactive Hyperemia?

A

reactive : (in response to ) hyperemia: (more blood than normal)

response to what that group of muscle is doing by sending them more blood to give them the energy and O2 to keep doing that

128
Q

Neural control mechanisms. What are the arrow answers if there is HIGH BP?

A

⬆ BP> baroreceptor detects > CCC->CIC> ↓HR > ↓Q > ↓HR

baroreceptor ALSO detects > VMCC> vasodilate > ↓R > ↓BP

129
Q

What does VMCC do?

A

(vasomotor control center) controls smooth muscle in the blood vessels.

controls if it vasodilate or vasoconstricts

130
Q

Neural control mechanisms. What are the arrow answers if there is LOW BP?

A

↓BP> baroreceptor detects > CCC->CIC> ⬆️HR > ⬆️Q > ⬆️HR

baroreceptor ALSO detects > VMCC> vasoconstricts > ⬆️R > ⬆️BP

131
Q

What is Autonomic tone?

A

Some level of sympathetic and parasympathetic activity all the time because it gives you the ability to increase or decrease both of them.

132
Q

What is Vasomotor tone?

A

Always have at rest, some degree of vasoconstriction.

If arteries are partly contstricted, I have the ability to vasodilate. If they are fully relaxed, all I can do to raise my BP.

133
Q

What makes ADH?

A

Hypothalamus

134
Q

What releases ADH?

A

Posterior pituitary gland

135
Q

Why would Posterior Pituitary gland release ADH?

A

Osmoreceptors in hypothalamus that monitor the osmotic concentration of body fluids. If osmotic concentration of body fluids gets high, it means either too many particles, or not enough water. ADH will be released and act on kidneys to make sure you retain more water.

136

Q

Why is Angiotensin II the superhero of all hormones?

A

-increases contractility
-increases SV
-increases cardiac output
-increases erythropoietin conversion
-increases ADH release
-2 main stimuli for ADH release
-thirsty

151
Q

What do we get from ADH?

A

water retention

152
Q

what is the main stimulus for Aldosterone release?

A

Angiotensin II

153
Q

What do you get from Aldosterone?

A

-increase Na+ retention
-increase K+ and H+ loss

154
Q

What are three major components to act like blood when you bleed out?

A

-water
-sodium to retain the water
-RBC

155
Q

What are the two different ways to get ADH release?

A

-you get dehydrated (increase osmotic concentration of body fluids that osmoreceptors in hypothalamus are looking at)
-have hemorrhage ( not gonna have an increase in osmotic pressure in my body fluids bc not only did I lose the fluid, the particles is lost too)

156
Q

If you have less blood and no osmotic stimulus, how do you hold onto the water?

A

get ADH to go UP

157
Q

How does Angiotensin II stimulate ADH release?

A

gives us a way to increase water retention even when we don’t have an osmotic stimulus

158
Q

Where does Atrial Natriuretic Hormone come from?

A

The Heart

159
Q

What causes Atrial Natriuretic Hormone to be released?

A

The atria being stretched more than they should

160
Q

This long stretch causes what?

A

Cells in the wall of the atria to release ANH into the blood.

161
Q

Atrial Natriuretic Hormone is BOTH what?

A

An antagonist and inhibitor of ADH and aldosterone

162
Q

What does an inhibitor do?

A

block the release of something OR prevent it from binding to the receptor it needs to bind to , to do its job

163
Q

What does an antagonist do?

A
164
Q

What does Atrial Natriuretic Hormone do?

A

blocks the release of ADH, Aldosterone, Epinephrine, and Norepinephrine

165
Q

What happens if you block the release of ADH?

A

lose water

166
Q

What happens if you block the release of Aldosterone?

A

Lose more sodium

167
Q

If you lose sodium, what happens?

A

No choice but to lose the water

168
Q

If the effect of ADH, is water retention and Atrial Natriuretic Hormone makes you lose more water, what does this mean?

A

It makes it an antagonist of ADH

169
Q

If the effect of Aldosterone is to increase sodium retention, and ANH causes you to lose more sodium, what does this mean?

A

It makes it an antagonist to Aldosterone

170
Q

What else does ANH do?

A

increase water loss, increase sodium loss, and DECREASE in blood volume

171
Q

If a patient has high blood pressure, what happens to RAAS?

A

If working right, High BP should decrease renin release, decrease angiotensin I which decrease Angiotensin II.

172
Q

A change in blood pressure doesn’t have to be caused by a change in blood volume. ( vise versa) Why?

A

You can change the size of the pipes.
Can vasoconstrict and increase blood pressure without changing blood volume.
Can increase blood volume and not have BP go up bc you can vasodilate. (CANNOT ASSUME ONE CAUSE THE OTHER)

173
Q

During light exercise, what happens?

A

local response where muscles uses O2 (O2 in tissue goes down, CO2 goes up, pH goes down, local vasodilators in the area cause vasodilation and more blood move into area to get more O2 there to clear out metabolic waste products

174
Q

Use muscle in skeletal muscle pump to increase what?

A

Venous return (move blood back to heart, stretch RV, SV goes up in right side of heart, move blood from lungs into the left side of heart, SV goes up in left side of heart bc it gets stretched too)

175
Q

When you heavy exercise gradually back to rest,

A

my respiration goes down, less respiratory pump, venous return start to drop, less stretch in RV, SV goes down, less blood gets into my LV, less stretch, SV goes down, CO goes down

176
Q

Before your body picks up the idea that your blood volume and BP is dropping. What two things happen because of that?

A

Baroreceptor reflex to raise your blood pressure and arterial BP determines capillary hydrostatic pressure.

177
Q

If my arterial BP goes down during hemorrhaging, what happens?

A

Capillary Hydrostatic Pressure goes down

178
Q

What is a short term fix for BP?

A

fluid shift, baroreceptor reflex (increasing R & CO to raise BP)

179
Q

What is the second wave effect on BP by

A

increase contractility, vasoconstriction, blood volume of ADH, Aldosterone, Erythropoietin
