Question
Answer
What is distensibily of blood vessels?   All the blood vessels are strechable.  
🗑
Most distensibility in?   Veins 8x more distensible then arteries  
🗑
Distensiblitiy difference between pulmonary and systemic   The pressure is 1/6 less so the distensibility is 1/6 less  
🗑
Vascular distensibility causes?   Less resistence, smooth blood flow.  
🗑
A increase in volume in arterial system causes?   drastic pressure change.  
🗑
How much blood is filled in the arterial system?   750ml  
🗑
If volume is lowered to 500ml what happens to the pressure?   Dropps to zero.  
🗑
Delayed compliance   vessels exposed to increased volume first exibits large increase in pressure but delayed stretch of the vessels walls drive the pressure back down to normal.  
🗑
What does effect the pressure?   Stroke volume, total distensibility of hte arterial tree and character of injection  
🗑
What happens to the pressure as it travels down the arterial tree and why?   It gets damped because 1, the resistance to blood movement and 2, complinace of vessels.  
🗑
What central venus pressure?   It's in the right atrium where all veins flow into.  
🗑
What increases the venous return?   1, increased blood volume. 2, increased peripheral venus pressure. 3, dilatation of arterioles->rapid flow of blood.  
🗑
What causes higher pressure in atrium?   (1) Heart failure 2) massive blood transfusion.  
🗑
What causes the pressure in the atrium to drop?   1)excessive pump 2)blood flow to the atrium is depressed.  
🗑
Why does large veins offer some resistence to blood flow?   Because of the collapsing vein or because of a compressed vein.  
🗑
Which veins in the body does not collapse?   In the sinus veins in the brain.  
🗑
What happens to a standing person when the vein gets damage?   Air enters the blood stream and causes a air embolism in the heart.  
🗑
Where do we have specific reservoirs?   In spleen, liver, large abdominal veins, venous plexus beneath the skin, heart and the lungs.  
🗑
What is the spleens function?   Stores red blood cells, Cleans the body from old cells, bakteria, parasites etc.  
🗑
