lecture 8: guyton chapter 16/17 Flashcards
what are the 4 forces that contribute to starling equilibrum
capillary hydrostatic pressure interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure osmotic force (plasma proten conc) osmotic force (iterstitial protein)
what is the capillary hydrostatic pressure due to
due to the BP within the capillary (increase pressure, more force/filtratioin into the instersticium)
which pressure value is llways negatice
interstiial fluid hydrostatic pressuer
interstial fluid hydrostatic pressure pushes fluid up or out
pushes flud=ud back to the cpaillary
what 2 forces increase filtration
cap hydrostatic pressure
osmotic force due to interstital fluid plprotein concentration
what 2 forces increase reabsorbition
intertitial fluid hydrostatic pressure
osmotic foce force due to plasma protein concentraion
what is lymph and where is it found
is a fluid (like blood) found in lymph vessels (similar to veins) that conntrians some proteins that have escaped through capillary walls
what does the lymphatic system move
moves interstial fluid with proteins
true or falseL tthe lymphatic system is interconnected with capillary system
true
what size are the proteins that escape the cpaillary walls and why
they are usually small because others have a hard time passing through the fenestarions of capilaries
lymphatic sytse=m is an open or closed ended entwork
close ended (just appears)
lymph capillaries are highly permeable or not highly
they are highy permeable
lymphatics lack what in compoarionn to capillaries
lack tight junctions
why is lymphatics not havinng tight junctions a good thing
therefore larger ptoteins can easily get in
how are lymphatnics attached to connective tissue
finne filament anchors to connective tissue
where does lymph drain
at the level of the vena cava (mixes with blood)
what is the general flow of fluid
capillary inntersitum lymphatic system (flow) to lymphnodes (for filtration) vena cava (with clean fluid)
the lympathic makes an accessory route by what
by which fluid protein can flow from intnerstium to the blood
the lympathic system is important in prventeing what
edema
what is a majo rorute for the absroption of nutriends from the GI tract
lymphatic systtem
why is the lymphatic system imporant route for absoption of nutrients from the GI tract
since large proteinns cannot pass trhough capillaries but it is easier to pass thrgouh lymph (nno tight junctions)
true or false and why: the lymphatic system provides a important rule in ummune system
true
when the fluid passes though the lymphnodes (which gets fitlrated) and the unwanted things like bacteria, eccess lipids, proteins get caught inn lymph
=cleans fluid
what is the negative pressure in the innterstital fluid socae caused by
pumping by lympatic sysm
plasma filtrate is returned to the circulation by what (4 ways)
tissue pressure
intermitted skeltal muscle actvitiy
lymphatic vessel contraction
system of one what valve
