MD3001 Week 2 Flashcards
pressure in systemic venous circulation
pressure in this circulation is 3-18mmHg
capillary oncotic pressure
28mmHg
plasma oncotic pressure
5-8mmHg
capillary hydrostatic pressure
30-40mmHg to 10-15mmHg
blood supply of thymus
blood supply of this structure is from internal thoracic and inferior thyroid arteries; venous drainage to L BCV
where do BCVs form SVC?
these vessels join posterior to 1st R CC
4 proponents to venous return
- increased sympathetic activity
- skeletal muscle pump
- increased blood volume
- inspiration movements
3 effects of CNS ischemic response
when blood flow to MCVCC decreases, increases…
- peripheral vasoconstriction
- sympathetic stimulation
- systemic arterial pressure as high as 250mmHg for 10m
branches of aorta (4)
- oesophageal
- posterior intercostal (3-11)
- subcostal (12)
- bronchial
Bainbridge reflex
sympathetic mediated reflex in response to increased blood in atria (increase HR and contractility)
neurovascular supply of cervical third of oesophagus
arterial: inferior thyroid
venous: BCV
nerve: recurrent laryngeal
lymph: deep cervical
neurovascular supply of thoracic third of oesophagus
arterial: oesophageal
venous: azygos
nerve: oesophageal plexus
lymph: tracheobronchial
4 oesophageal constrictions length from upper incisor
- upper oesophageal spinster - 17cm
- arch of aorta
- L main bronchus - 28cm
- diaphragm - 43cm
where does accessory heme-azygos vein descend from and cross?
this structure descends from 4th intercostal space and crosses at T8
outline duty of candour (4)
healthcare professionals must…
- tell patient of mistake
- apologize
- offer remedy or support
- explain short and long term effects of what has happened
what must claimant establish to claim negligence? (3)
- patient is owed a duty of care by defendant
- defendant breached that duty by failing to provide reasonable care
- breach of duty caused claimant’s injuries (causation) and that those injuries are not too remote (proximity)
what causes release of ADH? (3)
- increase in osmotic pressure (hypothalamic osmoreceptors)
- hypovolemia >10% loss (atrial baroreceptors)
- angiotensin II
where in the kidney is renin released from?
this hormone is released from juxtaglomerular cells
what hormone is released in response to stretch of atria and helps oppose effects of RAAS
atrial-natriuretic hormone
predispositions to capillary micro-aneurysms (2)
predispositions to this vascular disease include hypertension and diabetes mellitus
giant-cell (temporal) arteritis
granulomatous inflammation of large to small-sized arteries
temporal, vertebral and ophthalmic
population most susceptible to Takayasu arteritis
women <30yo most susceptible to this type of vasculitis
polyarteritis nodosa (PAN)
vasculitis of medium/small muscular arteries of kidneys, heart, liver, GI
site of chest drain
this procedure occurs at triangle bounded by lateral border of pec major, mix axillary line, and line b/w these at level of nipple
2 opposing ways sympathetic nervous system affects skeletal muscle arteries
- nerves transmit NA onto a1 receptors causing vasoconstriction
- adrenal medulla secretes adrenaline onto b2 causing vasodilation
release and affects of adrenaline on skeletal muscle arterioles
this hormone is released by adrenal medulla and causes vasodilation of these vessels via b2 receptors
