Pathology Flashcards
What part vessels respond to NO
Tunica media
What vessels control resistance?
Arteriole
Sinusoids capillary
Wider (lots of blood filtration), in liver, spleen and bone marrow
What vessel is most blood in?
2/3 blood in veins
What vessels have valves?
Veins, extension of tunica intima
What vessels have valves?
Veins, extension of tunica intima (Lymphatics also have valves)ii
Purkinje fibers are below what layer heart?
Below Endocardium, communicate via gap junctions
Monckeberg arteriosclerosis
Does not obstruct flow
Arteriolosclerosis 2 types
1.Hyaline arteriolosclerosis (diabetes, essential HTN) 2.Hyper plastic😩 Arteriolosclerosis- Onion skin (malignant HTN)
atherosclerosis
- Atheromas intima of blood vessels (inflammatory disease of intima)
- Injury to endothelium, cholesterol gets inside injury (fatty streaks) and then inflammatory response, necrosis and calcification
Familial hypercholesterolemia
- Autosomal dominate
- MI in twenties
- xanthelasma
Stable angina is caused by what?
narrow lumen, but blood still goes through
Virchow’s triad
- Endothelial
- hyper coagulability
- stasis blood flow
MI
Rupture plaque and necrosis, clotted off
MI how old?
< 10 hours= no change
1 day old= no nuclei (coagulation necrosis), contraction bands (thick pink bands)
1-4 days= acute inflammatory reaction with neutrophils, coagulation necrosis
4-10 days = tan/yellow grossly, point maximal weakness (need control BP), macrophages arrive clean up mess, RUPTURE
10 day - 3 weeks = scar, granulation tissue
3 weeks plus= white scar grossly, dense collagen (blue)
