Exam 1 Flashcards
(180 cards)
Renal clearance
Plasma thats cleared of a substance
volume/time
plasma/ minute
Free water clearance
How much distilled / pure water is removed from the blood
low osmo-> inc free water clearance -> inc osmo
high osmo ->dec free water clearnace -> dec osmo (water conservation)
Free water clearance is governed by?
ADH
osmo R next to hypothalmus supraoptic nuclei and the paraventricular nuclei -> adh to posterior pit (neurohypophysis)-> adh release-> V2 R in the late distal collecting duct-> water reabsorption
Delta P for systemic circulation
100
100-0=100
Normal Pulse pressure
40mmhg
120-80=40
Pulse presure
how stiff our arteries are
flexible= low pp
stiff= high pp
Why is the aorta strechy?
Keeps load down on LV
Acts as a pressure reservoir
Secondary pump (use bounce to push blood forward)
compliance
how stretchy something is
Delta V/Delta P
low compliance = rigid (low volume/ high pressure)
high compliance = stretchy (high volume/ low pressure)
Elastance
inverse of compliance
how rigid something is
high compliance = low elastance
low compliance = high elastance
Why are veins more compliant
higher volume/ lower pressure
thinner wall, less rigid, expandable
MPAP
mean pulmonary arterial pressure; 16mmhg
Delta P of pulmonary system
LAP
left atrial pressure; 2mmhg
2-5mmhg
PAP
pulmonary artery pressure; 25/8
why does pulm system have less resistance?
closer to the heart/ less distance
pulm bv are compliant not stiff and muscular
not alot of circuits to travel through
LVP
left ventricle pressure ; 2-120 mmhg
high variability
high pressure because we have ejection to the aorta
RAP
right atrial pressure; 0-4mmhg
RVP
right ventricle pressure; 0-25mmhg
also high variability
what bv has the highest cross sectional area
capillaries; 4500 cm2
velocity equation
v= f/a
flow/ area
byproducts of metabolism
H+
co2
A (adenosine)
all these tell the arteriole to relax and inc bf through the tissue
Two ways of flow in the cap
1) Mechanical high pressure pumping systems (heart) uses a lot of energy to pump blood around cv system,
2) diffusion
Pif
interstitial fluid Pressure= -3
Favors filtration
+ number w/ edema
Aorta cross sectional area
2.5 cm2
Venae Cavae cros sectional area
8 cm2
