Q

What does ANP do to lower the blood pressure

A

stimulates siduum loss from the blood and into the urine, the water will follow sodium, there fore blood volum down and pressure down. relxes vascular smooth muscle. inhibits the secretion of hormones involved in sodium and water retention in the kidneys.

27
Q

what is hypertrophy?

A

cells get bigger

28
Q

how could hypertrophy happen in the heart?

A

there is back pressure or other pressure on the heart as it pushes the blood out and the heart responds by makeing the cells much bigger than they would normally be.

29
Q

what is it called if a tissue responds to stress by increasing the number of cells?

A

hyperplasia.

30
Q

what is one of the negative effects of hypertrophy?

A

the heart is stiffer and the space in the ventricle is smaller and so there is less blood and it is harder to pump the heart therefore it wants to hypertrophy even more!

31
Q

what is the blood velssel structure in muscular artery

A

there are three tunics that layer the vessel: tunic intima; tunic media; tunic adventilia

32
Q

what is the structure of the tunic intima

A

the endothelium and the inernal elastic lamina

33
Q

what is the difference in the tunic media and the tunic adventita

A

the tunic media is thicker for muscular artery, and denser, the adventitia is thinner and less dense with cappilaries etc.

34
Q

what is the difference in the cross sectionof artery and vein?

A

the artery has a thick elastic lamina and a much thicker media layer

35
Q

what is the funciton of the adrteries

A

regulate the pressure and control ditribution of oxygenated blood. Hold about 20% of the blood

36
Q

what is the purpose of the capilaies?

A

hold 10% of the blood and exhangers (this also includes the post capillary venules

37
Q

whatis the purpose of the veins

A

low pressure return system about 70% of blood

38
Q

what is vas basorum

A

the blood vessels of large vessels

39
Q

why would the aorta have an elastic element

A

to smooth out pressure pulses and create a “spreading of that energy” into the rest of the body.

40
Q

what is the souce of the elastic fibers in the vessels?

A

the tunica media and the smooth muscle sells found there.

41
Q

how does the structure change from the aorta to the muscular arteries

A

there is not so organized or abundant elastic fibers.

42
Q

explain the layers of the muscular arteries

A

TI: internal elastic lamina is prominent; TM: many layer of smooth muscle, elastic fibers not as much; TA: external elastic lamina present at border, dense CT with some smooth muscle, lots of collagen

43
Q

what is the characterasitcs of Moncheberg’s arteriosclerosis

A

there is calcification of arterial walls in the tunica media. this would stiffen the vessels and increase the blood pressure and lead to myosite incurssion in the heart.

44
Q

what is the small arteries strucute

A

contain up to 5 or 6 layers of smooth muscle in TM

45
Q

what is the strucure of the arterioles

A

microvasculature and 1 or 2 layers of smooth muscles in the TM.

46
Q

what is the purpose of the arterioles:

A

regulate the dileivery of blood to capillaries, redue pressue and controll distribution. they are sometimes calle reistance cvessles and are considered primarily for blood pressure.

47
Q

what are true cappillaries

A

the vessesls that control exchange

48
Q

how is control of flow to the cappilaries

A

precapillary sphincters of the metarterioles.

49
Q

what is a direct connection of a metarteriole to a venule?

A

thoroughfare channel

50
Q

what are the three types of capillaries?

A

continuous; fenestrated, and sinusoids

51
Q

what are the general characteristics of the continuous capillaries

A

most common type, they are linked by tight junctions (ZO) in the muscle brain and CT

52
Q

what are the general characteristics of the fenestrated capillaries?

A

they have little openings and facilitate exhange (kiney glomerules, and choroid plexus)

53
Q

what are the general characterics and location of the sinusoids capillaries

A

contain larger openings for even greater exhange: (liver, bone, marrow)

54
Q

what is a pericytes or periendothelial cells

A

cells outide of the capillary on the endothelium outside

55
Q

what is the purpose of the pericytes?

A

contraction, phagocytosis, small vessel hemostatis. and appear to offer stem cells that will repair and regenerate the cappilaries

56
Q

who does stuff get in and out of cappilaries?

A

diffusion across the membrane (gases); samll molecule transporters; transcytosis (high MW) low in CNS; Leaks between the tight junctions (low in CNS)

57
Q

What seems to be the main type of transport in the capilaries:

A

the transcytosis esp. in the CNS. but in other tissue and in inflamation then it is leaks between the tight junction

58
Q

histamine release can case a major fluid ovement from vessels to tissues, which mechanism does it stimulate?

A

the lossening of the tight junctions

59
Q

fenestrated capillaries

A

has small pores that increase fluid exchange

60
Q

sinusoids

A

has large opening in the cappilaries to give lots of flow!

61
Q

Endothelial cells of a capillary bed can regulate the amount of blood flowin into the bed by releasing signaling molecules that affect nearby:

A

this could be either the mearterioles or the pericytes (the metarterioles is the wanted choice)

62
Q

what is unique about post capillary venules

A

they still have major vascular permeability

63
Q

what is the distiguishing feature of the muscular venule

A

has a larger and lower pressure than the venule

64
Q

what is the difference in venule cappilary and muscular venule?

A

the size of the vessel

65
Q

waht is the difference in the small vein and artery?

A

the tunic media is very thin in the vein and the opening in the vein is larger!

66
Q

what is a similunar valve?

A

in medium and large veins of lower extremities they are outfoldings of the TI that help prevent backflow of blood.
