Q

Why are capillaries the only blood vessel that allows nutrients and waste to exchange across its walls?

A

they are very thin and only have one layer of endothelium attached to a basement membrane.
- This means that things can easily diffuse through its walls

Q

Why do some capillaries carry blood and others do not at any given moment

A

Capillaries does not change its diameter to regulate blood flow, instead they work together in a network.

  • PRECAPILLARY SPHINCTERS are circular bands of smooth muscle that control how much blood can get into each capillary.
  • they can even completely close off a capillary

Q

Continuous Capillary

A

really tight endothelial cell in the lining so only small things like water and ions can diffuse through

Q

Fenestrated capillaries

A

So much nutrient/waste exchange happens that the capillary has pores (fenestrations) built into the wall to make diffusion easier.

Q

What is circulatory shock?

A

when the blood pressure gets so low that the circulatory system can’t adequately deliver blood to tissues and cells stop working right and start hurting and dying

25
What is hypovolemic shock and how do you fix it
not enough blood volume (usually because you are bleeding to death) Diastolic pressure VERY low
26
Cardiogenic shock
Heart can't pump enough blood to meet the body's needs
27
Neurogenic shock
When the CNS gets damaged and the heart does not get the signals it needs to pump out enough blood.
28
Endotoxic (septic) shock
- a pathogen/infection reaches the bloodstream | - when blood enters tissues blood from capillaries rush to fight the pathogen and causes blood pressure to drop
29
Anaphylactic shock
When the body reacts to an allergen by initiating the same mechanisms that cause septic shock
30
Subclavian arteries
carry blood to the arms, chest wall, shoulders, back, and central nervous system
31
Carotid arteries
carry blood to the head and neck
32
phrenic arteries
deliver blood to the diaphram
33
phrenic arteries
deliver blood to the diaphragm
34
The superior mesenteric artery
delivers blood to the pancreas, small intestine, and most of the large intestine
35
Inferior mesenteric artery
delivers blood to the last portion of the large intestine and rectum
36
renal arteries
carry blood to the kidneys
37
gonadal arteries
carry blood to the gonads
38
common iliac arteries
deliver blood to the pelvis and lower limbs
39
posterior intercostal arteries
deliver blood to the spaces between the ribs
40
lumbar arteries
deliver blood to the lumbar spinal cord and abdominal wall
41
median sacral artery
delivers blood to the lumbar vertebrae, sacrum, and coccyx
42
superior vena cava
head and neck, upper limbs, shoulders, and chest
43
brachiocephalic vein
upper limbs, head and neck
44
subclavian veins
upper limbs
45
internal jugular veins
cranium, face and neck
46
azygos vein
posterior thoracic and abdominal cavities. | It’s an alternate route back to the right atrium if the SVC or IVC gets blocked.
47
inferior vena cava
most organs below the diaphragm
48
hepatic veins
liver
49
renal veins
kidneys
50
Gonadal veins
the gonads
51
common iliac veins
pelvic and lwer limbs
52
common iliac veins
pelvic and lower limbs
53
lumbar veins
the lumbar spinal cord and abdominal wall
54
hepatic portal vein
the gastrointestinal tract (to the liver)
55
Hepatic Vein
drains from the liver
56
Great saphenous vein
dorsal surface of feet
57
Great saphenous vein
dorsal surface of feet
58
2 factors that require modification in the CVS for fetal existence
- Digestive and respiratory systems are not working so there is no need to send blood there - fetus getting all nutrients from the placenta( organ that brings mother and fetal circulation close together wo nutrient/waste exchange can happen
59
Umbilical vein
carries oxygenated blood to the placenta
60
umbilical arteries
carries deoxygenated blood to the placenta
61
ductus arteriosus
connects the pulmonary tract to the aorta, acting as a second way to bypass the pulmonary circulation
62
foramen ovale of the heart
allows blood to skip the pulmonary tract and go straight from the right atrium to the left atrium. There is a flap that acts like a heart valve and prevents backflow from the left atrium to the right atrium.
63
ductus venosus
collects blood from the umbilical vein and veins of the liver and dumps it into the IVC
64
changes in fetal circulation at birth
When a baby takes its first breath, the lungs and pulmonary vessels inflate. This tells the smooth muscle in the ductus arteriosus to constrict, shutting it off. - As blood flows through the pulmonary circulation, the pressure in the left atrium rises, shutting the flap in the foramen ovale permanently. - At room temperature, in about 3 minutes the umbilical cord will close, both by expansion and collapse of some supporting structures and by vasoconstriction of the blood vessels.
65
list three avascular parts of the body
cartilage corneas epidermis
66
how does cartilage get nutrients
Nutrients diffuse from the perichondrium through the cartilaginous matrix to the chondrocytes.
67
how does the epidermis get nutrients
from the dermis
68
how do the corneas get nutrients
from lacrimation (tears)
