quiz 3/15 Flashcards
do capillaries contain smooth muscle or constrict?
no and no
why can capillaries withstand high intravascular pressure?
la places law. small radius = low pressure. wall tension = transmural pressure x radius of vessel. wall stress = transmural pressure / wall thickness
Is the permeability of the capillary endothelium the same in all the tissues of the body?
no
what percentage makes up ECF
20
what percentage makes up ICF
40
what happens if you give someone 1L of NS
increase ECF, no change in osmolality
what does dextrose do
reduces ECF osmo and therefore helps correct the increase in ECF osmo associated w dehydration
hypotonic increases ___ volume
intracellular
hypertonic increases
extracellular
what is capillary filtration
the sum of the hydrostatic and osmotic forces favors the movement of water from the capillary to the interstitial space (+ filtration, arteriolar)
what is capillary reabsorption
movement of fluids or h20 back into the capillary (venular end)
starling forces - increased capillary pressure and interstitial fluid osmotic pressure moves fluid ____
out of the capillary.
increased plasma colloid osmotic pressure causes
inward movement of fluids
what is osmosis
h20 moves from areas of high h20 concentration to areas off low h20 concentration through a semi-permeable membrane
if net driving forces are positive, does it favor capillary filtration or reabsorption?
filtration
if net driving forces are negative what does it favor
reabsorption at venular end
are pressures higher at the arteriolar end or the venous end
arteriole side (30 vs 10mmhg)
