Free water clearance is governed by
ADH
Flexible vessels have a _____ pulse pressure, while stiff vessels have a ______ pressure.
narrower; wider
Formula for compliance
C = ΔP/ ΔV or ΔP/CO
Compliance is
how stretchy our vessels are
Elastance is
how resistant our vessels are to stretch; rigidity
Formula for elastance
1/compliance
Formula for MAP
DBP + 1/3(SBP-DBP)
Pulmonary artery pressure
25/8
Mean pulmonary arterial pressure
16
Left atrial pressure range
2-5 mmHg
Left venticular pressure range
2-120 mmHg
Right atrial pressure range
0-4 mmHg; assume 0 mmHg
Right ventircular pressure range
0-25 mmHg
List, in order from greatest to least, the cross sectional areas of the vessels
Capillaries: 2500 cm
Venules: 250 cm
Veins: 80 cm
Arterioles: 40 cm
Arteries: 20 cm
Vena Cava: 8.5 cm
Aorta: 2.5 cm
What metabolic byproducts are likely to be let go at the level of the capillary
Hydrogen ions, carbon dioxide, and adenosine
Normal Pcap: what is it and what does it favor
30 at arterial end; 10 at venular end - Physical fluid pressure or BP in the capillary; favors filtration at arterial end and reabsorption at the venular end
Normal Pisf: what is it and what does it favor
-3 mmHg; hydrostatic/hydraulic/physical pressure of interstitial fluid; favors filtration
Normal Πcap: what is it and what does it favor
28 mmHg; capillary colloid osmotic pressure or oncotic pressure; favors reabsorption
Normal Πisf: what is it and what does it favor
8 mmHg; intersitial fluid colloid osmotic pressure; favors filtration
For each _____ drop below the heart, BP drops __ mmHg?
13.6 mm or 1.36 cm; 1
Pouiselle’s Law equation
Flow = Π(r^4)ΔP / 8n
