Unit 2A Flashcards
Define capillary exchange
Involves filtration and Reabsorption
Name of all the ways that capillary exchange happens
Diffusion, transcytosis and bulk flow
Dtb
Difference between filtration and reabsorption
From capillaries into interstitial fluid
From blood pressure (heart)
And reabsorption from interstitial fluid into capillaries.
From viscosity proteins like albumin
Which pressures favor filtration?
Hydrostatic pressure
Which pressures favors reabsorption
Osmotic
what is NFP?
Whether fluids leave or enter capillaries depends on net balance of pressures: filtration and Reabsorption
The starling law of capillaries…
About 85 % goes back to your veins and escaped fluid is 3/ liters a day. By lymphatic capillaries
Edema is the abnormal amount of I.F if filtration exceeds reasorption
the abnormal amount of I.F if filtration exceeds reasorption.
What are the two results of edema
Excess filtration, inadequate reasorption
Why is edema commonly observed at late pregnancy
The obstruction posed by the uterus on the inferior vena cava, and this decreases cardiac output, leads to a fall in blood
pressure
A pulse is a ….
pressure wave related to the heart beat
Where can the pulse be measured?
Radial, brachial, and common carotid artery , femoral, popliteal and dorsal
Measuring Blood Pressure
BP provides information
about…
Systemic vascular
resistance
korotkoff sounds are
Sounds heard while taking blood pressure
What is MAP. Stand for
Mean of arterial pressure
