What is meant by hyperemia and congestion?
Increase in blood volume
Describe this increase
Local
Where does this local increase in blood volume occur in?
Particular tissue
Describe the process of Hyperemia
Active
What is affected in the organs, in Hyperemia?
Arterial blood inflow
How is this arterial blood inflow affected?
Increased
What causes this increase in the arterial blood inflow?
Active arteriolar dilatation
What is changed in the these arterioles?
Muscle tone
Describe the color of the affected tissue
Reddened
What happens to these tissues so that they become reddened?
Engorgement
What are the affected tissues engorged with so that they become reddened?
Oxygenated blood
What are the 2 types of Hyperemia?
Physiological
Pathological
What are the 2 sites in which physiological Hyperemia occur in?

Describe the process of congestion
Passive
What is the Congestion known as? (2 points)
Venous congestion
Passive hyperemia
What is affected in the organs, in congestion?
Venous blood
Describe the venous blood in the tissues of these organs (2 points)
Increased
Excess
What causes this increased/excess venous blood in the tissues of these organs?
Obstruction
What is obstructed causing this increased/excess venous blood in the tissues of these organs?
Venous outflow
How is this venous blood outflow also affected?
3 points
Impaired
Slow
Reduced
What are the 3 sites in an organ where the increased/excess the venous blood resulted from the obstruction of the venous outflow occur in?
Veins
Venules
Capillaries
