Lecture: Blood Vessels, Pressure, Lymph, and Immunity Flashcards
exchange vessels
Capillaries
tunica interna has no openings or porous holes: this type of capillary is found usually in the brain
Continuous capillary
endothelial lining has openings for movement of fluid and blood filtering
often found in kidneys + gut
Fenestrated capillaries
large openings for larger molecules to get through
found in spleen and liver
Sinusoid capillaries
capacitance vessels (blood reservoirs)
Veins
event that constricts or closes artery
Vasospasm
basis for collateral circulation
Anastomoses
equation for blood flow
F = P / R
or
CO = P / R
mean arterial pressure equation
Diatolic P + PP / 3
MAP equation uses avgs.
80 mmHg(d bp) + 40 mmHg(pp) / 3 = 93 mmHg
pumps blood 1 way + has valves
Muscular pump
Uses pressure gradients: The pressure changes occurring during breathing that enhance venous return. During inhalation, pressure decreases in the thoracic cavity and increases in the abdominal cavity creating an upward “sucking” effect that pulls blood toward the heart
Respiratory pump
bld vs. (veins) uses smooth muscle in tunica media to move blood
(sympathetic NS)
Venoconstriction
bulging/distending of a bld vs. on ONE side
Saccular Aneurysm
bulging/distending of a blood vessel on BOTH sides
Fusiform Aneurysm
pushes through endothelium + stays WITHIN media
Dissecting Aneurysm
What is the blood flow equation?
F (CO) = P / R
Effect of epinephrine
Increases cardiac output (HR + contractility)
Increases peripheral resistance (vasoconstriction)
Relaxation of bronchioles
Blood volume = normal
Blood vs. become very dilated
Vascular shock
Bld. vs. dont fill correct and cannot circulate normally (cell and organ damage follows)
Circulatory shock
Heart is inefficient that it cannot sustain adequate circulation
Cardiogenic shock
Fluid build up
Edema
Fluid build up
Edema
Pumps blood 1 way + has vavles
Muscular pump
Smooth muscles have smooth muscles in tunica
Venoconstriction
Smooth muscles have smooth muscles in tunica
Venoconstriction
Effect of angiotensin 2
Increases peripheral resistance (vasoconstriction) (arterioles)
Hormone that increases peripheral resistance (vasoconstriction)
Increases blood volume (decrease blood loss)
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
Increase peripheral resistance (vasoconstriction)
Increases blood volume (decrease blood loss)
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
Medication that can decreases blood volume
Diuretic
Part of the brain that controls thirst
Hypothalamus
Part of the brain that controls thirst
Hypothalamus
Plasma protein made in liver continually + is dormant
Angiotensinogen
Where does the aldosterone come from?
From cortex of adrenal gland
Increases sodium reabsorption + water retension
Aldosterone
Increases sodium reabsorption + water retension
Aldosterone
Vasoconstriction is
systemic
HPc in arteriole end in capillary bed?
35 mmhg
HPc in venous end in cappilary
17 mmHg
What is osmotic pressure in the venous and arteriole end?
25 mmHg
too much fluid in tissues, not enough absoprtion
Pitting edema
How many L a day are filtered through the capillary beds?
20 L
How much fluid is reabsorbed into the venous end of cappilaries
17L and the 3L remaining is absorbed through lymph vessels
Senses changes in BP and where are they located
Baroreceptors and Aortic arch and Carotid sinus
What is the RAA system innervated by
Sympathetic nervous system
What do lymph nodes do?
Filter lymph
Brings lymph back to nodes
Afferent vessels
Fewer vessels than afferent because foreign things are being attacked for longer
Efferent vessels
Drains lower lymphatic vessels
Inferior to diaphragm
Cisterna chyli
Cancer that spreads through the lymphatic system
Carcinoma
Cancer that spreads through blood is
Sarcoma
Major lymphatic duct that distributes lymph back into venous system (subclavian + internal jugular that forms brachiocephallic trunk)
Thoracic duct
Drains lymph from right arm and head
Right lymphatic duct
Responsible for immunity
Lymphocytes
Attack foreign cells (antigens) and aid in cellular immunity
T cells
Cells that produce plasma cells and are responsible antibody production
B Cells and Humoral immunity
