|
vascular changes during inflammatory response.
first vasoconstriction, then vasodilation, then increased vascular permeability. now what? |
fluid escapes vessel walls into the interstitial tissue
loss of protein rich fluid from plasma reduces vascular concentration of protein and fluid is osmotically driven into the interstitium |

|
definition of elasticity
|
a materials ability to return to its original state following deformation
|
|
definition of stress

|
a change in length of a structure
tensile stress = tensile force/cross sectional area strain is the amount of elongation and narrowing (deformation) strain is measured as a % or resting length |

|
1. Toe region - fibers are stretched and straightened from a resting zig-zag pattern (amount of slack)
