23
Q

What happens during active hyperemia?

A
  1. Release of (metabolic) vasodilators into ECF
  2. Arterioles dilate
  3. Decrease resistance & increase blood flow
  4. More supplies given to the metabolically active cell
  5. Blood flow eventually washes vasodilators away

24
Q

2 types of hyperemia

A
  1. Active

2. Reactive

25
Q

What happens during reactive hyperemia?

A
  1. Cells release metabolic vasodilators into ECF
  2. There is an something blocking the blood vessel going to that tissue
  3. Arterioles will dilate until occlusion is removed
  4. Decreased resistance & increased blood flow
  5. Blood will carry the vasodilators away over time
26
Q

Which are metabolic vasodilators?

A
  • Adenosine
  • Low O2
  • High CO2
  • High H+
27
Q

NE binding to a-receptors cause vasodilation/vasoconstriction?

A

Vasoconstriction

28
Q

Capillary density is related to…

A

metabolic activity of cells

29
Q

Bone marrow, liver, spleen do not have capillaries. Instead, they have…

A

sinusoids

30
Q

Sinusoids

A

Capillary-like vessels at the bone marrow, liver, and spleen. Large gaps that allow proteins and RBC to move across.

31
Q

How many capillaries are there?

A

> 10 billion

32
Q

SA of capillaries?

A

500 - 700 m2

33
Q

2 types of capillaries

A
  1. Continuous

2. Fenestrated

34
Q

What are the gaps between continuous capillaries? Fenestrated ones?

A
  • Leaky junctions / endothelial cell junctions

- Endothelial cell junctions & fenestrations

35
Q

Difference b/t continuous and fenestrated capillaries?

A

Continuous:

  • inner lining smooth
  • endothelial cell junctions only
  • only solutes can pass through

Fenestrated:

  • rough inner lining
  • also have fenestrations
  • allow high volumes to flow through
36
Q

Where can continuous capillaries be found?

A

muscles
neural tissues
connective tissues

37
Q

Where can fenestrated capillaries be found?

A

kidneys

intestines

38
Q

Relationship between total x-section area and velocity of flow

A

Higher area = lower velocity of flow

39
Q

Exchange between plasma & ISF occurs by ___ pathway or ___ transport

A

paracellular

endothelial

40
Q

Small dissolved solutes and gasses move by __

A

diffusion (go through cell without a vesicle)

41
Q

Large solutes & proteins move by ___

A

vesicular transport

42
Q

Paracellular pathway

A

Substance passes through space between endothelial cells

43
Q

Endothelial transport

A

Substance passes through an endothelial layer by going through endothelial cells

44
Q

At capillaries, large proteins are transported by…

A

transcytosis

45
Q

Define: bulk flow
