Lecture 6 Flashcards
How much of a human body is water
60% by weight
How much of the water in the human body is intracellular, and how much is extra cellular
2/3 in intra cellular, 1/3 is extra cellular
How is the extracellular fluid distributed
1/5 is blood plasma, 4/5 is interstitial fluid
How does one determine the IV flow when replacing liquids
4cc/hr/kg for the first 10 kg of body weight, then add 2cc/hr/kg for the next 10 kg of body, and for the remaining body weight add 1cc/hr/kg
What is the governing principle of all fluid movement in the body
It flows from areas of high pressure to areas of lower pressure
What is the direction of lymphokinetic motion
blood capillaries > interstitial fluid > Lymph capillaries >Lymph veins > lymph ducts > large circ. veins
What is the main function of interstitial fluid
Carries cell waste products to the lymph system for purging
Where is the subclavian artery located
Between the anterior and middle scalenes, deep to the clavicle, to the lateral border of the first rib
Where is the axillary artery located
From the first part of the 1st rib to the lower edge of teres major
Where is the brachial artery located
Extends from the teres major down to the bifurcation of radial and ulnar arteries, which normally happens near the elbow, but can happen near the axilla
Where is the profunda brachii artery located
It branches from the brachial artery just distal to the teres major and travels along a similar path as the radial nerve in the posterior arm
What is collateral circulation
The situation of having multiple pathways for blood to reach a particular organ or region of the body
What are anastomosis
Connecting branches formed between adjacent blood vessels
Where is the dorsal scapular a. located
It branches from the subclavian and travels along the vertebral border of the scapula.
Where is the suprascapular a. located
It branches from the subclavian and travels along the axillary a to the suprascapular notch and then to the infraspinatus. Anastomoses with the scapular circumflex a.
Where is the scapular circumflex a. located
It branches from the axillary a. and travels between the teres major, minor and long head of the triceps to the infraspinatus. Anastomoses with the suprascapular a.
What is the purpose of the collateral circulation around the scapula
If the axillary artery s occluded, then blood i shunted away from the subclavian artery to the distal axillary artery by reverse flow in the circumflex scapular and subscapular aa. This is all based on pressure
Why would the body create new anastomosises
To get around blockages
When would creating new anastomosises be deleterious
In diabetic retinopathy repeated blockage and growth of replacement vessels leads to impaired vision
What goes through the vertebral transverse foramina
Vertebral artery
What is subclavian steal syndrome
occlusion of the subclavian artery causes retrograde flow in the vertebral artery
What is Thoracic outlet syndrome
Compression of the brachial plexus and blood vessels where they pass between the scalenes, 1st rib and clavicle, or under pectoralis minor
What are cervical ribs and how are they clinically relevant
incomplete ribs off the cervical vertebrae found in .5-1% of the population that greatly increase the risk of developing thoracic outlet syndrome
