Q

________________ is positive and fluid moves out.

________________ is negative and fluid moves in

Study These Flashcards
A

Filtration

Absorption

22
Q

What is net filtration pressure?

Study These Flashcards
A

NFP = filtering pressures – absorbing pressures

NFP = (Pcap+Pi(if)) – (Pif+Pi(cap))

23
Q

Overall there is a slight _________ NFP over capillary length. Excess fluid is picked up by lymphatics and returned.

24
Q

What is ohms law?

What is the equation for resistance?

Study These Flashcards
A

Q (flow) = delta P / Resistance

R ≈ ń•l / r^4

25
 how do you calculate total peripheral resistance (TPR) for vessels in series and parallel?
Series: R(total) = R1 + R2 + R3 +Rn… Parallel resistances: 1/R(total) 
26
TPR =
The sum of the resistance of the aorta, arteries, arterial‘s, capillaries, venules, veins, and vena cava
27
Because organs receive parallel arterial input, organs or even regions within an organ can regulate blood flow ____________ or independent of other organs or regions
Locally
28
Blood pressure is regulated at the ____________ level whereas blood flow is regulated at the ______________ level. Both involve controlling arterial __________.
Systemic Local or tissue Resistance
29
MAP (mean arterial pressure) (average pressure in aorta) MAP= 
= CO + TPR = diastolic pressure + 1/3(SP-DP) 
30
CO=
CO = MAP/ TPR
31
How is blood flow regulated at the local level: regulating arterial resistance
Vasoconstriction or vasodilation
32
what affects how blood flow is regulated at the local level by vasoconstriction or vasodilation??
1. Metabolic regulations - Active hyperemia - reactive hyperemia 2. Myogenic mechanism
33
What is included in metabolic regulation of blood flow at the local level?
Local factors like CO2, H+, ADP, AMP, A a) active hyperemia (increase in blood flow following an increase in metabolism) * very important for brain blood flow b) increase in blood flow following a period of decrease in blood flow (occlusive blockage)
34
What is the myogenic mechanism involved in blood flow regulated at the local level?
an increase in blood pressure… - increase flow - increase stretch on arteriole - increase arterial strength triggers arterial to vasoconstrict —-> increases resistance ——-> restores flow * Q= delta P/ R * happens in the kidney to keep flow constant
35
How do you calculate mean arterial blood pressure (MAP)? 
MAP= DP + 1/3(SP-DP) Q= delta P/ R >>> CO= MAP/TPR Or MAP = CO • TPR Or MAP = HR • SV • TPR
36
TPR is controlled by regulating arterial resistance through….
-norepinephrine, Epinephrine, antidiuretic hormone (ADH) or vasopressin, angiotensin II 
37
What regulates blood pressure in the short term? 
The arterial baroreflex 
38
Renal functions include….
- urea excretion (nitrogenous waste) - regulating pH balance - regulating osmotic balance - regulating ion concentrations - regulating volume (blood pressure)
39
Where are the renal columns located and what do they include?
Between renal pyramids. Contains blood and nerve supply
40
The space were urine collects
Renal pelvis
41
What is the functional unit of the kidney?
Nephron. About 4 million per kidney Includes (Bowmans capsule, proximal tubule, loop of Henle, distal tubule) 
42
All of the nephron and collecting duct is what type of tissue?
Simple epithelium
43
Describe the unique blood supply
Portal circulation (two capillary beds in series) - Afferent arteriole - glomerular capillaries - efferent arteriole  - Peritubular capillaries (vasa recta ——> loop) 
44
Urinary excretion = 
Glomerular filtration – tubular reabsorption + tubular secretion
45
Filtration
Protein free plasma (into Bowmans capsule)  Salt, water, glucose, and amino acids are reabsorbed
46
Mechanism of reabsorption
Isosmotic (no change in osmolarity as it goes through)  Proximal tubule- 80% of reabsorption, non-regulated, 100% of glucose is reabsorbed most amino acids. Cellular mechanism is secondary active cotransport with Na+ (water follows solute transport) 
47
What happens in DT and CD?
- only about 20% reabsorption | - regulated process (hormones: aldosterone and ADH) 
48
Steroid hormone, secreted from adrenal cortex when - plasma K+ is high - angiotensin II is high (results from low volume) 
Aldosterone
49
Aldosterone increases protein synthesis of….
- Na+/K+ pumps - Na+ channels - K+ channels
50
- Secreted from posterior pituitary | - protein hormone secreted when • volume/BP Low • plasma concentration high 
ADH
51
Action of ADH is to regulate the water permeability of…..
Collecting duct
