Blood Vessels Flashcards
(26 cards)
Which arteries are called as elastic or large arteries
Aorta, subclavian, common carotid, and pulmonary arteries
Medium size or muscular arteries
Smaller branches of aorta I.e coronary and renal arteries
Lymphatics transports
Insterstial fluid and inflammatory cells from periphery to lymph nodes
Capillaries share 3 layered architecture
False
What are arteriovenous fistulas
Direct connections between arteries and veins that bypass capillaries
Fibromuscular dysplasia
Focal irregular thickening in medium and large muscular arteries including renal, carotid, splanchnic and vertebral vessels
Anamolous coronary artery
Developmental anomaly in which both coronary arteries arise over the same coronary cusp of aortic valve
A sterotype response to vascular injury
Intimal thickening by smooth muscle cells and extra cellular matrix
Excessive thickening of intimal layer leads to
Luminal stenosis and vascular obstruction
Secondary hypertension causes are only(10%)
Related to renal or adrenal diseases
Mechanisms of essential hypertension
By altering net sodium Reabsorbtion in kidney
Vasoconstrictive influences
Environmental factors such as stress, obesity, smoking etc…
Hyaline arteriosclerosis
Leakage of plasma protein.
Ec damage, smc proliferation.
Most commonly seen in patients with severe hypertension and diabetes.
Hyperplastic arteriolosclerosis
Severe hypertension
Vessels exhibit onion skin
Necrotizing arteriolitis in malignant hypertension.
Monckeberg medial sclerosis
Calcification on medial walls of muscular arteries, typically starts along the internal elastic membrane.
Homans sign is seen in
Phoebothrombosis and thrombophlebitis
Superior vena cava syndrome
Dilation of veins of head, neck, arms with cyanisis
May also cause respiratory distress
Inferior vena cava syndrome
Thrombosis of hepatic, renal, lower extermity veins that propagatrs cephalad
Which leads to massive protenuria
Most common bacteria infection seen in lymphangitis
Group A beta hemolytic streptococcus
Lymph nodes are filled with neutroohils and monocytes
Primary lymphedema types
Either congenital or familial (milroy disease.
In chronic lymph edema leads to
Ecm deposition and fibrosis seen as peau d’ orange or orange peel on skin
If there is back rupture in lymphatics secondary to tumor it causes milky accumulation called chylous ascitis, chylothrorax and chylopericardium
Port wine stain (Tumor of blood vessels)
Involved trigeminal nerve aslo called as sturge weber syndrome
Mutation in GNAQ
Spider telangiectasia
Common infacev, neck, upper chest, hyoerestrogenic states in pregnant women
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasis
Autosomal dominant
By mutation in TGF betavof endothelial cells
Present at birth
Leads to Epistaxis, hematuria and gastrointestinal bleeding
Glomus tumor
Painful benign tumor by involving Arteriovenous structure which are involved in Thermoregulation
Found under fingernails
Arise from smooth muscle cells
