Lecture: Blood Vessels, Pressure, Lymph, and Immunity Flashcards
(142 cards)
exchange vessels
Capillaries
tunica interna has no openings or porous holes: this type of capillary is found usually in the brain
Continuous capillary
endothelial lining has openings for movement of fluid and blood filtering
often found in kidneys + gut
Fenestrated capillaries
large openings for larger molecules to get through
found in spleen and liver
Sinusoid capillaries
capacitance vessels (blood reservoirs)
Veins
event that constricts or closes artery
Vasospasm
basis for collateral circulation
Anastomoses
equation for blood flow
F = P / R
or
CO = P / R
mean arterial pressure equation
Diatolic P + PP / 3
MAP equation uses avgs.
80 mmHg(d bp) + 40 mmHg(pp) / 3 = 93 mmHg
pumps blood 1 way + has valves
Muscular pump
Uses pressure gradients: The pressure changes occurring during breathing that enhance venous return. During inhalation, pressure decreases in the thoracic cavity and increases in the abdominal cavity creating an upward “sucking” effect that pulls blood toward the heart
Respiratory pump
bld vs. (veins) uses smooth muscle in tunica media to move blood
(sympathetic NS)
Venoconstriction
bulging/distending of a bld vs. on ONE side
Saccular Aneurysm
bulging/distending of a blood vessel on BOTH sides
Fusiform Aneurysm
pushes through endothelium + stays WITHIN media
Dissecting Aneurysm
What is the blood flow equation?
F (CO) = P / R
Effect of epinephrine
Increases cardiac output (HR + contractility)
Increases peripheral resistance (vasoconstriction)
Relaxation of bronchioles
Blood volume = normal
Blood vs. become very dilated
Vascular shock
Bld. vs. dont fill correct and cannot circulate normally (cell and organ damage follows)
Circulatory shock
Heart is inefficient that it cannot sustain adequate circulation
Cardiogenic shock
Fluid build up
Edema
Fluid build up
Edema
Pumps blood 1 way + has vavles
Muscular pump
