what does V mean abbreviation
Vesicles (V)
26
what does OF mean abbreviation
Open fenestrae (OF)
27
what does DF mean abbreviation
Diaphragmmed fenestrae (DF)
28
what does G mean abbreviation
Gap (G)
29
what is continous tissue
Endothelial cells are continuous, and only allow small substances like water and ions to diffuse through intercellular clefts
30
what is fenestrated tissue
some have diaphragms – allow small substances and limited protein Some with no diaphragms – slit pores (kidney)
31
what is discontinuous tissue
**found in the live ***also called sinusoid large openings
32
what do pores have in different organs
they will have special characteristics to meet the peculiar need of the organ
33
what are liver pores ( pore characteristics )
Large openings so almost all dissolved substances of the plasma, including the plasma proteins, can pass from the blood into liver
34
what are gastrointestinal pores ( pore characteristics )
Midway between those of the muscles and those of the liver
35
what are glomerular pores ( pore characteristics )
- Numerous small oval windows called fenestrae * ****Allow large amounts of very small molecular and ionic substances * *****But not large molecules of the plasma proteins -To filter through the glomeruli
36
what is an example of filtration
the kidney
37
what is the 1st step of kidney filtration
First, filtered substance passes through fenestra in the capillary endothelium (red)
38
what is the 2nd step of kidney of filtration
Next, pass across the glomerular basement membrane (tan) * *****BM has collagen fibrils and other structural proteins * ******This creates small pores that exclude based on size
39
what is the last step of kidney filtration
Finally, pass through the filtration slits (blue and green)
40
where does substances go when they move from the capillareis
then they enter the interstitium then the cel
41
what is the interstitium
the space between the cells
42
what is interstital fluid
fluid in the space between the cells
43
what are two major types of solid structures in interstitium
collagen fibers | proteoglycan filaments
44
what is Proteoglycan filaments
---coiled molecules composed of hyaluronic acid ----Highly Polar – so they attract water
45
what does the fluid look like in the interstitium
in the form of gell ( fluid proteoglycan mixtures and there is very little free fluid under normal conditions
46
what is movment across the capillary determined by!!
balance of the forces
47
look at slide
14-- there is some other forces
48
look at slide
15!! | need to know this pic and the equation
49
what is capillary hydrostatic pressure
Pc | tends to force fluid outward through the capillary membrane
50
what creates ↑ Pc
↓arteriole resistance | ↑venous pressure
51
what is flow equal to
pressure / resistance
52
what is Interstitial fluid pressure
(Pif)- | opposes filtration when value is positive
53
what is Plasma colloid osmotic pressure
opposes filtration causing osmosis of water inward through the membrane
54
what is Interstitial fluid colloid pressure
- promotes filtration by causing osmosis of fluid outward through the membrane
55
what is the net fluid movement across the capillary equation
NFP = ([Pc – Pif] – [Πc – Πif])
56
what do the capillary hydrostatic pressure number looks like NORMAL
17mmgh ( lower numbers)
57
what do the Interstitial fluid pressure numbers look like NORMAL
in most tissues is -3 (Encapsulated organs have positive interstitial pressures (+5 to +10 mmHg))
58
what does a negative interstitial fluid pressure mean
is caused by pumping of lymphatic system
59
what Colloid osmotic pressure is caused by
presence of large proteins
60
what are proteins
they are colloids --Microscopic insoluble particles dispersed in the solvent (plasma, interstitial fluid)
61
what is the interstitial colloid osmotic pressure numbers look like NORMAL
is about 8 mmhg
62
what is the plasma colloid osmotic pressure numbers look like NORMAL
about 28 mmhg
63
what is the osmotic pressure inside the capillary principally determined by
plasma proteins that are relatively impermeable
64
what is colloid
particle dispersed in a liquid
65
what is colloid osmotic pressure made up of
75%- albumin | 25%- golbulins
66
how much of the filtered fluid is reabosrbed on the venous end
90%
67
how much of the filtered fluid is returned to circulation via lymphatics
10%
68
go to slide
28-33 to look at equations
69
what is an accessory route for proteins
lymphatic | ** a place were the proteins form the interstitial space can to back to the blood
70
what is important in preventing edem
lymphatic
71
where can the lymphatics be found
which takes lymph that is derived form interstitital fluid to flows in to the lymphatics
72
how does the lymphatic help the GI Tract
major route for absorption of nutrients
73
is the lympth part of immune system
yes
74
how does the lymphatics work as a pump
=Smooth muscle filaments in lymph vessel cause them to contract =External compression also contributes to lymphatic pumping
75
look at slide
