lecture 8: guyton chapter 16/17 Flashcards
what are the 4 forces that contribute to starling equilibrum
capillary hydrostatic pressure interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure osmotic force (plasma proten conc) osmotic force (iterstitial protein)
what is the capillary hydrostatic pressure due to
due to the BP within the capillary (increase pressure, more force/filtratioin into the instersticium)
which pressure value is llways negatice
interstiial fluid hydrostatic pressuer
interstial fluid hydrostatic pressure pushes fluid up or out
pushes flud=ud back to the cpaillary
what 2 forces increase filtration
cap hydrostatic pressure
osmotic force due to interstital fluid plprotein concentration
what 2 forces increase reabsorbition
intertitial fluid hydrostatic pressure
osmotic foce force due to plasma protein concentraion
what is lymph and where is it found
is a fluid (like blood) found in lymph vessels (similar to veins) that conntrians some proteins that have escaped through capillary walls
what does the lymphatic system move
moves interstial fluid with proteins
true or falseL tthe lymphatic system is interconnected with capillary system
true
what size are the proteins that escape the cpaillary walls and why
they are usually small because others have a hard time passing through the fenestarions of capilaries
lymphatic sytse=m is an open or closed ended entwork
close ended (just appears)
lymph capillaries are highly permeable or not highly
they are highy permeable
lymphatics lack what in compoarionn to capillaries
lack tight junctions
why is lymphatics not havinng tight junctions a good thing
therefore larger ptoteins can easily get in
how are lymphatnics attached to connective tissue
finne filament anchors to connective tissue
where does lymph drain
at the level of the vena cava (mixes with blood)
what is the general flow of fluid
capillary inntersitum lymphatic system (flow) to lymphnodes (for filtration) vena cava (with clean fluid)
the lympathic makes an accessory route by what
by which fluid protein can flow from intnerstium to the blood
the lympathic system is important in prventeing what
edema
what is a majo rorute for the absroption of nutriends from the GI tract
lymphatic systtem
why is the lymphatic system imporant route for absoption of nutrients from the GI tract
since large proteinns cannot pass trhough capillaries but it is easier to pass thrgouh lymph (nno tight junctions)
true or false and why: the lymphatic system provides a important rule in ummune system
true
when the fluid passes though the lymphnodes (which gets fitlrated) and the unwanted things like bacteria, eccess lipids, proteins get caught inn lymph
=cleans fluid
what is the negative pressure in the innterstital fluid socae caused by
pumping by lympatic sysm
plasma filtrate is returned to the circulation by what (4 ways)
tissue pressure
intermitted skeltal muscle actvitiy
lymphatic vessel contraction
system of one what valve
whatt are some elements that get returned back into the circulation due to the lymphatnics
prottein (albmin)
bacteria
fat
excess fluid
what does the degree of activtiy of lymphathic pump depend on
(determinants of lymph flow)
smooth muscle filmanets in the lyph vessels cause them to contract
external compression also contributes
true or false: lymph vessels do not have smooth muscle filaments
false
what makes the valves of the lympaticic sytem
elongated endothelial in lympnodes
what arte the 2 phases of movement of lymph
expansion phase
compressio phase
explain the expansion phase of movement of lymph
Fluid travels from intersttitisum into the lymph (no tight junctions so itd easier)
hydrostatic pressure in the intersitcium exceeds sthat inside lymphastic causing microvalves to open and fluid to enter
explain the compression phase of the movement of lymph
the hydrostatic pressure inside the lymph rises, closing the microvalves ans causing lymph to flow downstream (froward) so valves can open again
what is the highest driving force of moving lymph/main determinant
interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure
if there is an icncrease in interstitual fluid hydrostatic pressure, there is an increase or decrease in lymph flow
increase
the more fluid is travelling into the intersitum (filtration) what happens to the flow
more lymph flow
what are the factos affeccting the formation of interstiaial fluid
capillary hydrostatic pressue (more filtration)
colloid osmotid pressure (putting more fluid in the interstitum)
lymph return
capiliary permiability
what are the factors that increase hydrosttic pressure
Impaired venous return Congestive heart failure Constrictive pericarditis Ascites (liver cirrhosis) Venous obstruction or compression Thrombosis External pressure (e.g., mass) Lower extremity inactivity with prolonged dependency Arteriolar dilation Heat Neurohumoral dysregulation
explain how an increased hydrostatic pressue can lead to an impaired venous return (vice versa)
there will be a smaller pressure gradient therefore the heart needs to but more pressure to contract
explain ho w congestive heart failure and constrictive pericarditis
heart is not pumping blood properly, the blood startts to back up in veous size
explain how heat can cause an increased hydrosttic pressure
vasodiliation, icnrease flow/rate, increase filtrattion
herreohprage is a long term or short term solution
short term
when you are hemmoraging what is happen to the pressure
there is a low fluid pressure (low cap hydro) but a normal osmotic prssure (blood is lost but the concentration of proteins has not changed)
