Question
Answer
capillaries   site of exchange with tissues; substances move thru by diffusion  
🗑
continuous capillaries   no gaps between endothelial cells, no fenestrae; less permeable to large molecules. (muscle and nervous tissue)  
🗑
fenestrated capillaries   porous and endothelial cells have fenestrae; highly permeable;  
🗑
sinusoidal capillaries   large diameter w/large fenestrae & less basement membrane, allow large molecules to pass (endocrine glands)  
🗑
sinusoids   larger diameter sinusoidals; (liver, bone marrow)  
🗑
capillary network   blood flows from arterioles thru meatarterioles then thru cap. network; sphincters and smooth muslce regulate flow  
🗑
elastic artery   conductors; largest diameter; high pressure that fluctuates between systolic and distolic  
🗑
muscular artery   smooth muscle regulates blood flow by constricting or dialating; most smaller unnamed arteries  
🗑
arterioles   transfer blood from small arteries to capillaries; like smalll arteries  
🗑
venules   drain capillary network  
🗑
medium veins   go between small and large veins  
🗑
large veins   thin tunica intima  
🗑
tunica intima   internal elastic membrane  
🗑
tunica media   smooth muscle cells around blood vessel; vasoconstriction and dilation  
🗑
tunica externa   connective tissue  
🗑
valves   formed by overlapping flaps in intima; any vein over 2mm has them; more found in veins of lower extremities  
🗑
nerve supply   unmyelinated sympathetic nerve fibers form plexi in tunica adventia :vasoconstriction; parasympathetic inervate penis and clitoris  
🗑
arteriosclerosis   degeneratiopnal changes in arteries making them less elastic  
🗑
artheriosclerosis   plaque deposited in walls  
🗑
pulmonary circulation   from R ventricle to pulmonary trunk->divides into pulmonary arteries; 2 pulm arteries exit each lung and enter L atrium  
🗑
systemic circulation   aorta exits left ventricle and devides into ascending aorta (coronary arteries branch out), aortic arch, and descending aorta and blood flows to body. Veins return blood to heart from body  
🗑
laminar flow   streamline, interior of blood vessel is smooth and equal diameter; outer layer moves slowest and inner fastest  
🗑
turbulent flow   interrupted, flow rate exceeds critical velocity; fluid passes a constriction, sharp turn; contributes to heart sounds  
🗑
blood pressure   measure of force exerted by blood against the wall; moves blood thru vessels; measure by listening to korotkoff sounds: turbulent flow in arteries as pressure is released from blood pressure cuff  
🗑
flow formula   (p1-p2)/r-pie(p1-p2)r4/8vl  
🗑
poiseuille's law   flow decreases when resistance increases  
🗑
resistance   size of blood vessel diameter  
🗑
viscocity   resistance of liquid to flow; as viscocity increases pressure required to flow increases; infuenced by hemocrit( % of RBCs making up blood volume); dehydration or too many RBCs can increase velocity  
🗑
factors effecting blood flow   viscocity, resistance, pressure, length of vessel  
🗑
Net filtration pressure (NFP)   force responsible for moving fluids across capillary walls; effected by hydrostatic and osmostatic pressure (net hydro-net osmo) (pressure in and out).  
🗑
net hydrostatic pressure   blood pressure-interstisial fluid pressure(bp-ifp)  
🗑
net osmotic pressue   blood colloid osmotic pressure-interstisial fluid osmotic pressure(bcop-icop)  
🗑
venous tone   continual state of partial contraction of veins due to sympathetic stimulation  
🗑
effect of gravity on BP   in standing position hydrostatic pressure caused by gravity increases BP above heart and decreases BP above heart  
🗑
local control of blood flow   vasodialtion and precapillary sphincters can increase blood flow 7-8%; capillaries become more dense in areas with regular increased metabolic rate  
🗑
nervous regulation of blood flow   minute to minute regulation of local circulation; sympathetic most important; vasomotor center in lower pons contributes to norepinephrine and epinephrine release  
🗑
baroreceptor reflexes   change peripheral distance, heart rate, and stroke volume in response to changes in blood pressure  
🗑
chemoreceptor reflexes   sensory receptors senstivie to o2, co2 and ph levels of blood  
🗑
CNS ischemic response   high co2 or low ph levels in medulla increases peripheral resistance  
🗑
renin-angiotesin-aldersteron mechanism   low BP stimulates kidneys-> renin hormone-> angiotenin1-> angiotensin convertin enzyme->angiotenin2 goes to adrenal cortex to produce aldosterone, which absorbs sodium and water, which increases blood volume and thus BP  
🗑
vasopressin (adh) mechanism   adh->kidneys, water is obsorbed  
🗑
atrial natriueretic hormone   released from cardiac muscle cells when atrial blood pressure increases-> increase in urine production-> decrease in blood volume and pressure  
🗑
fluid shift   movement of fluid from interstitial spaces into capillaries in response to increased blood pressure  
🗑
