Q

What can cause edema

A

anything that causes lymphatic blockage, anything that could cause hydrostatic pressure on the venous side to increase, or anything that would cause hydrostatic pressure of blood to increase (cause more fluid out or make it less able for fluid to be reclaimed on venous side)

25
If anything were to increase capillary osmotic pressure would that promote or inhibit edema formation?
inhibit
26
If anything were to increase capillary hydrostatic pressure would that promote or inhibit edema formation?
promote
27
If anything were to increase interstitial osmotic pressure would that promote or inhibit edema formation?
promote
28
If anything were to increase interstitial hydrostatic pressure would that promote or inhibit edema formation?
inhibit
29
Fluids leave on the __ end via __& are reclaimed on the __ side due to ___ hydrostatic pressure
arterial; filtration; venous; reduced
30
What % of fluids leave via filtration, what % is left behind
85%; 15% (picked up by lymphatics)
31
Lymphatics transport ___ back into the blood stream
interstitial fluid (15%)
32
Lymphatic capillaries are closed end tubes
t
33
As lymph capillaries get full they __
contract which propels fluid forward
34
Fluid is filtered on the __ side, __% gets reclaimed by __ & __% gets picked up by lymph capillaries that return it back to blood stream
arterial; 85%; venous side; 15%
35
If there is a venous obstruction what happens to the hydrostatic pressure on the venous side of the capillary
goes UP due to blockage somewhere downstream
36
If venous hydrostatic pressure isn't reduced it is much more difficult for
fluids to be reclaimed on venous side (that 85%) -> edema formation
37
Venous obstruction causes
phlebitis (venous clot), pregnancy (venous press incr due to weight of baby) & r. sided heart failure (blood backs up to r. atria -> vena cava -> veins -> decr press on venous side -> difficult for fluid)
38
Edama causes
elevated bp, any venous obstruction, leakage of plasma proteins into interstitial fluid, decreased plasma protein production, & lymphatic drainage obstruction
39
How does this cause edema: leakage of plasma proteins into interstitial fluid
if plasma leaking in interstitial -> causes increase in osmotic pressure of interstitial -> reduces osmotic pressure in capillaries
40
How does this cause edema: decreased plasma protein production
if you don't have enough plasma proteins in the blood -> blood osmotic pressure falls -> more difficult for fluid to be maintained WITHIN capillaries
41
How does this cause edema: lymphatic drainage obstruction
that 15% of fluid left behind can't get picked up by lymphatics -> accumulates in interstitial
42
How does this cause edema: elevated bp
increased capillary hydrostatic press -> fluids leave capillary -> accumulate in interstitial
43
How does this cause edema: venous obstruction
causes capillary hydrostatic pressure on venous side to increase -> if pressure doesn't get reduced -> more difficult for that 85% fluid to get reclaimed -> raises capillary hydrostatic pressure on venous side
44
Which organ plays a huge role in fluid & blood vol regulation
kidneys
45
Amount of reabsorption is adjustable & depends on state of hydration
t
46
Amount of water that we retain or excrete affects blood vol
t
47
ADP/vasopressin has ability to raise bp
t
48
ADP produced by __ & stored by __
hypothalamus; posterior pituitary
49
ADH released in response to
osmoreceptor stimulation
50
Are osmoreceptors stimulated when osmolarity in blood is too low or too high?
high -> means you are dehydrated -> ADH produced -> decreases urine vol to retain more water -> dilutes plasma osmolarity back to where should be
51
Does salt increase osmolarity too?
yes -> start producing adh -> thirst & water retention
52
Stretch receptors stimulated by incr blood vol ->
reduces ADH production -> urine output goes up -> blood vol reduced back to norm (cause water loss reduces blood vol & raises osmolarity)
53
RAA system
helps keep bp constant
54
Renin activates
angiotensin 1 (does nothing) from angiotensinogen (inactive)
55
Angiotensin 1 converted to __ by __
angiotensin 2 by ACE
56
Angiotensin 2
POTENT vasoconstrictor -> raises bp & tpr by: stimulating thirst & aldosterone prod
57
In response to low bp -> low blood flow to kidneys -> renin secreted ->
converts angiotensinogen -> angiot 1 (does nothing) -> ACE converts to angiot 2 -> ELEVATES bp (vasoconstricts, stimulates aldosterone, thirsty)
58
RAA system should be inactivated when
bp, blood vol, salt, or blood flow across system
59
People with htn: RAA system is not able to shut off
t
60
People with htn usually have elevated renin levels & can't shut them off
t
61
ACE inhibitors
stop conversion of angio 1 -> angio 2
62
ARB's
bind & block receptors that angio would bind to
63
Atrial Natriuretic peptide (ANP) produced by __ in response to __
atria; stretch
64
ANP inhibits
aldosterone & adh to reduce blood vol to be able to reduce atrial stretch
65
CO is equal to
venous return
66
Hemodynamics refers to
factors affecting flow
67
Blood will only move if there is a
pressure gradient (high->low)
68
What generates pressure in the cardiovascular system
heart pumping
69
Pressure in aorta is __; pressure in r. atria is
high; low (BIG PRESSURE DIFF)
