Part 3 Flashcards
Passive diffusion involves?
Permeability
Concentration Gradient
Ultrafiltration is bulk flow through a?
Filter (Capillary)
Ultrafiltration involves starling forces such as?
Hydrostatic Pressure
Colloid Osmotic Pressure
Hydrostatic pressure gradient favors?
Filtration
Capillary hydrostatic pressure averages?
17 mm Hg
Interstital hydrostatic pressure averages?
-3 mm Hg
Colloid Osmotic Pressure favors?
Reabsorption
Capillary COP averages?
28 mm Hg
Interstitial COP averages?
9 mm Hg
Colloid osmotic pressure is a function of the?
Protein Concentration
Plasma proteins include?
Fibrinogen
Albumin
Globulins
Calculated colloid effect is?
19 mm Hg
Actual colloid effect is?
28 mm Hg
What increases colloid osmotic effect?
Donnan Effect
Large plasma proteins carry negative charges which attract positive ions. This increases the osmotic effect by?
50%
Capillary walls can range from
Tight junctions to discontinuous
Glomerular capillaries in kidney have?
Filtration Slits (Fenestrations)
Only the protein that cannot cross capillary wall can exert?
Osmotic Pressure
What expresses how readily protein can cross capillary wall?
Reflection Coefficient
Reflection coefficient ranges between?
0 to 1
If reflection coefficient is 0, all colloid proteins freely cross wall, none are reflected therefore?
No colloid effect
If reflection coefficient is 1, all colloid proteins are reflected, none cross capillary wall, therefore?
Full Colloid Effect
What drains excess fluid from interstitial spaces?
Lymph Capillaries
No true lymphatic vessels are found where?
Superficial portions of skin
CNS
Endomysium of muscle and bones
