Perfusion Flashcards
Perfusion
Flow of blood through capillary and artery delivering nutrient and oxygen to cells and removing waste product
Blood pressure
force that blood exerts on blood vessel walls
reflects how hard heart is working
CO x R
systolic
cardiac working phase (top)
diastolic
cardiac rest (bot)
Pulse pressure
difference between diastolic and systolic ~ 40
reflect force of contraction
capillary
porous site of exchange
Tunica intima-inner
tunica media-mid
tunica adventitia-outer
Hydrostatic pressure
pushing force inside-out
volume increases pressure
oncotic pressure
pulls in (large molecules proteins etc.)
help fill blood vessel when low volume
Inflammatory response
Erythema, edema, heat.
vasoconstrict to stop bleeding
vasodilate to deliver:oxygen,nutrient, immune cells
Increase Capillary permeability-leukocyte into tissue
Lymph system
work to return excess interstitial fluid to circulation, role in immunity
lymph node, spleen, thymus, tonsil
Lymphedema
Infection or surgical removal of lymph causes painless swelling
happen anywhere and hyperpigment and rough skin
