continuous fenestrated capillaries seen where

A

mesenteric bed

26

brain

27
Q

NFP + in resting skeletal muscle

A

filtering

28
Q

NFP - in the brain

A

absorbing

29
Q

change in local arteriolar tone alters what

A

NFP

30
Q

arteriolar dilation does what to NFP (filtration pressure)

A

increases

31
Q

arteriole constriction does what to NFP (filtration pressure)

A

decreases

32
Q

net flux at capillaries (Jv) is filtering while ____ are taking up that fluid and protein

A

lymphatics

33
Q

lymphatics all come together and dump into _______ returning stuff back to venous circulation

A

subclavian veins

34
Q

when filtration exceeds lymph flow (fluid accumulates in interstitial space)

A

edema

35
Q

fluid in abdomen

A

ascites

36
Q

deals w/ both hydrostatic and osmotic gradients; too much intravascular pressure or dilution of plasma proteins (low albumin)

A

Hydrostatic edema

37
Q

increased endothelial “leak”

A

permeability edema

38
Q

limitation in lymphatic drainage

A

lymphedema

39
Q

this is common w/ R sided heart failure

A

Hydrostatic edema

40
Q

signs of this include pitting edema around feet and ankles

A

heart failure

41
Q

high systemic capillary pressure increases______

A

filtration

42
Q

high pressure where leads to fluid in abdominal cavity (ascites)

A

liver sinusoids

43
Q
A

pulmonary edema

44
Q

high pulmonary capillary pressure leads to increased ______

A

fluid filtration in the lungs (pulmonary edema)

45
Q

promotes increased filtration and edema due to osmotic pressure decrease (decreased albumin)

A

hypoproteinemia

46
Q

associated w/ myxedema

A

hypothyroidism

47
Q

overproduction of ECM proteins; proteins pull water towards them in interstitial space

A

Myxedema

48
Q
A

Myxedema

49
Q

more filtration due to disruption of microvascular barrier

A

permeability edema

50
Q

one of the main injuries causing permeability edema

A

burns

51
Q

lymphatic disruption or obstruction (at lymph flow, not capillary)

A

Lymphedema

52
Q

impacts perfusion and diffusion (compresses circulation and make exchange harder)

A

edema

53
Q

painful pressure increase in muscle after damage; if edema is bad enough to restrict blood flow, pain and ischemia

A

Compartment Syndrome

54
Q

flux of solutes (Js) increases across endothelial barrier 3 ways:

A
  1. opening of precapillary sphincters
  2. conc. gradient of solutes
  3. reduced diffusion distance
55
Q

flux of fluid across endothelial barrier into tissues increases with: (2 things)

A
  1. increased hydrostatic pressure gradient (capillary pressure)
  2. decreased osmotic pressure gradient (albumin)
