unit 2 test Flashcards
arteries
carry blood away from heart
capillaries
direct contact with tissue
veins
carry blood toward heart
elastic arteries
- conducting
- pressure réservoirs
- elastin
muscular arteries
- distributing
- muscle and tissue
arterioles
- resistance
- BP
- afterload
- between muscle art. and capillaries
continuous capillaries
- tight junctions
- narrow, small
- blood brain barrier, blood thymus, blood testis
- regulated exchange
fenstruated capillaries
- wider
- kidneys and endocrine organs
discontinuous (sinusoidal) capillaries
- big gaps
- free flow
- liver, spleen , bone marrow
pulmonary veins
transport oxygenated blood to heart from lungs
systemic veins
throughout the body
deoxygenated blood to the heart
hypovolemic shock
blood loss
vascular shock
blood vessels are too big and cant fill anymore
circulatory shock
sudden inadequate filling
what is the capillary exchange equation
NFP = (HPc + OPif) - (HPif + OPc)
pulse pressure
difference between systolic and diastolic pressure
mean arterial pressure
pressure that propels blood to tissues
MAP = diastolic pressure + 1/3 pulse pressure
what factors affect blood pressure
- cardiac output
- peripheral resistance
- blood volume
normal blood pressure
120/80
hypertension
140/90
hypotension
90/60
how does the velocity of blood flow change throughout the system?
- as blood travels throughout the system
- capillaries have largest area, so its slow
- fastest in aorta
- then increases in veins
- the less area, the higher the velocity
what mechanisms regulate blood flow to the different organs
- extrinsic and intrinsic mechanisms
- long term and acute auto regulation
- reactive hyperemia
- myogenic control
- metabolic control
how does the baroreceptors work and reflex?
- detecting the level of stretch on vascular walls
- send impulses to brain, to activate or stimulate cardioinhibitory center and vasomotor center
what are the three components of the lymphatic system?
- lymphatics- vessels
- lymph- fluid
- lymph nodes- cleansing of lymph
what is the path of lymph flow?
-lymph enters node through lymphatic vessels, then exits through the efferent side
right lymphatic duct
right upper lumbar, right head and thorax
thoracic duct
everything else
thymus vs. bone marrow
thymus- T cells
bone marrow- B cells
lymphedema
swelling, prevents normal return of lymph to blood
lymph nodes
- cleansing of lymph
- immune system activation
- inguinal, axillary and cervical regions
spleen
cleansing blood, breakdown and storage
red and white pulp
Peyers patches and appendix functions
- destroy bacteria
