Vascular Ch. 6 & 26 Flashcards
Veins are capacitance vessels of the body, the venous system holds about _____ of total blood volume or _____
two-thirds, 60-65%
What is the reference point in the body
right atrium
Hydrostatic pressure=
p x g x h
p= / g= / h=
blood density, acceleration due to gravity, height of column of blood
Hydrostatic pressure is _____ in an ______ arm
reduced, uplifted
Hydrostatic pressure is ______ than _____ in leg veins
greater, dynamic pressure
When lying flat, hydrostatic pressure is
negligible
Changes in vein shape are associated with
large increases in venous volume
What helps reduce venous volume
compression stockings
What do compression socks decrease
transluminal pressure, venous volume
Standing increases capillary pressure, calf muscle pump _____ veins & _______ venous pressure
empties, decreases
What can reduce intracapillary pressure and limit edema
compression stockings
During inspiration (3)
diaphragm descends, IVC collapses, venous return from the legs is impeded
During expiration (2)
intra-abdominal pressure decreases, flow increases to lower extremities
During thrombosis, variations in abdominal pressure with respiration have ____ effect of ______ from legs
little effect, pressure gradient
During thrombosis, normal phasic venous flow from _____ extremities may be _____
lower, reduced/absent
During thrombosis, venous flow from legs becomes ______ as venous pressure in legs EXCEEDS _____
continuous, intra-abdominal venous pressures
During exercise, calf muscle pump (3)
aids return of blood to heart against hydrostatic pressure / upon contraction, forces blood up to the heart / upon relaxation, blood drawn into calf veins/sinuses
During exercise, valves are essential in
helping calf pump whether patient is sitting or standig
What are primary varicose veins
varicose veins that develop in the absence of DVT
Secondary varicose veins flow patterns are _____ & ____ flow in _______
completely disrupted, bidirectional, perforators
With secondary varicose veins, _______venous pressure is noted ____ system
increased, throughout
What happens as a result from venous stasis ulcers
tissue damage and ulceration
