Q

Regulation of blood pressure in capillaries?

A

Ranges from 35 mm Hg to 17 mm Hg, low pressure is desirable because high BP ruptures capillaries

30
Q

Regulation of BP in veins?

A

Small pressure gradient ( 15 mm Hg), low pressure due to effects of peripheral resistance, low pressure of venous side requires adaptations to help with venous return

31
Q

4 factors that promote blood flow?

A

Skeletal muscle, repiratory system, smooth muscle, valves

32
Q

3 factors to regulate blood pressure?

A

CO, PR, blood volume

33
Q

Short term reg: neural control

A

Control BP by regulating resistance/ CO
MAP maintained by altering BV diamteter
Vasometer center sends impulses via. sympathetic to BV (causes vasometer tone)
Barorecptors give negative input, decreases BP
Chemoreceptors check for drop in O2 or increase in Co2, send signals to get blood to lungs
Regulated by brain centers (medulla, cerebral cortex, hypothalamus)

34
Q

Short-term reg: hormonal control

A

Epinephrine/ norepinephrine increase CO and vasoconstriction, ADH and Angiotensin 2 stimulate vasoconstriction, ANP decreases BP and generlized vasodilation

35
Q

Long term reg: hormonal/ renal control

A

Nor(epinephrine) increases heart contractility. via. Cyclic AMP second messanger

36
Q

Direct hormonal mechanism in kidney?

A

Alters BV independently of hormones, increased BP/BV causes elim. of urine (BP lower)
decreased BP/BV causes kidneys to conserve water (BP rises)

37
Q

Indirect mechanism in kidneys?

A

Renin released from renals, turns angiotensinogen to angiotensinogen I, angiotensinogen I converts to angiotensinogen II , which stiumlates ADH secretion, increasing BP

38
Q

Hypertension vs Hypotension

A

Elevated arterial BP higher than 140/90
Low BP below 90/60

39
Q

4 steps of tissue perfusion?

A

Delivery of O2/ nutrients to, removal of wastes, tissue cells
Gas exchange in lungs
Apsorption of nutrients in digestive tract
Urine formation in kidneys

40
Q

Rate of flow is…

A

precisely regulated to provide proper function to a given tissue or organ

41
Q

Tissue perfusion controlled…

A

extrinsically (whole body) and intrinsically (local)

42
Q

Metabolic intrinsic controls?

A

Declining levels of O2, increasing metabolic products, Cause relaxation of arterioles and precapillary sphincters
Cause release of NO (balanced by endothelins), powerful vasodilator

43
Q

Myogenic intrinsic controls?

A

Local vascular smooth muscle responds to changes in MAP to keep perfusion constant
Increased stretch: smooth muscle constricts, decreased blood flow
Reduced stretch: smooth muscle dilates, increased blood flow to tissue

44
Q

Capillary exchange speed?

A

speed in inversely related to total # of cross sections, Slow capillary flow allows time for exchange between blood and tissues

45
Q

What is capillary exchange?

A

Transport of gasses and soltues from blood to interstitual fluid

46
Q

4 methods of capillary exchange

A

Diffuse directly through endothelial membranes
Pass through clefts
Pass through fenestrations
Active transport via. Pinocytotic vesicles

47
Q

What is bulk fluid flow?

A

Fluid forced out clefts of capillaries at arterial end, most returns to blood at venous end
Bulk filud flow across capillary wals causes mixing between plasma/interstitial

48
Q

Hydrostatic vs Osmotic pressure

A

Hydrostatic pressure- force of liquid on vessel wall
Colloid osmotic pressures- sucking pressure generate by non-diffusable proteins in vessels

49
Q

What is net filtration pressure?

A

Forces acting on capillary bed
Flow out at arterial end (filtration)
Flow in at venous end (reabsorption)

50
Q

What is the lymphatic system?

A

Returns insertional fluid and plasma back to blood through a network of drainage vessels (lymphatics), the base of the immune system

51
Q

What is a lymph/ Lymph node?

A

Lymph- fluid in the vessel
Lymph node-cleanse lymph

52
Q

Lymphatic capillaries?

A

One way (towards heart), similar to blood capillaries but more permeable due to overlapping endothelial cells (minivalves) which increase ECF volume when open

53
Q

Where do they drain into?

A

Collecting lympatic vessels, trunks, ducts (similar structure to veins with more vavles and thinner walls)

54
Q

Lymphangitis vs. Lympehdema

A

Lymphangitis: Inflammation of lymphatic vessels, become congested with blood and appear as red lines under skin
Lympehdema: Severe localized edema, caused by anything that prevents return of lymph to blood.

55
Q

How is lymph propelled?

A

Low pressure system. milking action of skeletal muscle. pressure change, pulsation

56
Q

Ducts drain into where?

A

Right lymphatic duct drains right upper arm, side of the head, thorax
The thoracic duct drains the rest of the body

57
Q

A

Activate T cells, capture antigens, phagotize substances

59
Q

What is lymphoid tissue?

A

Proliferation site for lymphocytes
Body organ: diffuse lymphoid tissue, loose arrangemnt of lymphoid cells and reticular fibers
Nodules: follicles, tight arrangment of lymphoid cells and retucylar fibers

60
Q

Primary vs. secondary lymphoid organs?

A

Primary- where T and B cells mature (red bone marrow, thymus)
Secondary- where mature lymphocytes encounter antigen

61
Q

lymph nodes in detail?

A

Cleanse lymph and act as filters, activate immune system (lymphocytes attact antigens)
Secondary lymphoid organs of the body with hundreds of nodes

62
Q

Structure of lymph nodes?

A

Cortec- B and T cells
Medulla- B/Plasma and T cells
Sinuses- Macrophages

63
Q

What are buboes?

A

inflamed lymph nodes that result when nodes are overwhelmed by what they are trying to destry

64
Q

What is the spleen?

A

blood rich organ, site of lymphocyte proliferation and immune serveilance

65
Q

3 functions of spleen?

A

Stores breakdown products of RBC, store blood platlets and monocytes, may be site of fetal erythrocyte production

66
Q

What is MALT?

A

Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue, protects body from pathogens (found in mucosa of repiratory tract, tonsils, appendix, etc)

67
Q

What are tonsils?

A

Ring of lymphatic tissue around pharynx, bacetria enter crypts and are destroyed

68
Q
