3 route solutes enter and exit capillaries by |
1. Diffusion 2. Vesicular transport 3. Mediated transport |
|
Diffusion into/out of capillaries |
CO2, O2, ions, as, glucose, hormones, ect. Occurs between endothelial cells |
|
Vesicular transport |
Large proteins and antibodies Occurs via transcytosis |
|
Transcytosis |
Endocytosis from blood into endothelial cell, then exocytosis from endothelial cell into ISF |
|
Mediated transport |
Requires a membrane carrier protein Mainly used in brain |
|
4 pressure involved in bulk flow in/out of capillaries |
1. Blood hydrostatic pressure (bp) 2. Blood osmotic P (due to plasma proteins) 3. ISF hydrostatic P (0mmHg) 4. ISF osmotic P (due to ISF proteins) |
|
Net filtration pressure |
Sum of hydrostatic and osmotic pressure acting on capillary |
|
Edema |
Accumulation of fluid in tissue causing swelling |
|
Causes of Edema |
1. High BP 2. Leakage of plasma proteins into ISF 3. Decrease plasma protein (malnutrition, burns, ect.) 4. Obstruction of lymph vessles |
|
Elephantiasis |
Type of edema Caused by obstruction of lymph vessels |
|
Circulation shock |
Caused by inadequate blood flow (Lack of O2 and nutrients to cells) |
|
Types of circulatory shock |
1. Hypovolemic shock 2. Vascular shock 3. Cardiogenic shock |
|
Hypovolemic shock |
Low blood volume Due to blood loss/water loss (vomiting, burns) Hypo = low Volemic = volume |
|
Vascular shock |
Blood volume normal but vessels expanded Due to: systemic vasodilation of blood vessels |
|
Anaphylactic shock |
Allergic reaction that releases histamine Causes vascular shock |
|
Mast cells |
Release lots of histamine durning anaphylactic shock |
|
Cardiogenic shock |
Pump failure (decrease CO) Heart cant sustain blood flow |
|
Stages of shock |
1. Compensatory 2. Progressive 3. Irreversible |
|
Compensatory stage of shock |
Mechanisms can restore homeostasis by themselves by triggering SNS |
|
Mechanisms involved in compensatory stage |
1. Baroreceptors 2. Chemoreceptors 3. Ischemia (lack of O2) of medulla |
|
Lack of blood to kidney causes |
Rein release Creating/releasing angiotensin II and aldosterone and ADH |
|
Progressive stage of shock |
Mechanisms inadequate to restore homeostasis Decreases CO leads to 1. Decrease BP and cardiac activity 2. Decrease blood to brain 3. Damage to viscera (kidneys) |
|
Irreversible stage of shock |
Decrease CO cause too little blood to heart Not enough blood In heart causes decrease in C Ends in death |
|
Proteins in plasma |
1. Albumins (58%) 2. Globulins (38%) 3. Fibrinogen (4%) |
|
Functions of plasma proteins |
1. Produce osmotic pressure 2. Buffer pH (keep it from changing) 3. Transportation 4. Antibodies 5. Clot formation |
|
Alpha and beta globulin |
Transport lipids, metal ions, hormones |
|
Y (gamma) globins |
Antibodies |
|
Electrolytes function |
Functions: 1. Membrane excitability 2. Buffers (HCO3) |
|
Plasma made of |
1. Water (90.5%) 2. Proteins (7%) 3. Electrolytes 4. Other solutes (nutrient, waste, gases, hormones) |
|
Red blood cells function |
1. Transport - O2 on iron of heme - CO2 on globin 2. Buffer (gobin bind to H+ reversibly) 3. Carbonic Anhydrase |
|
Carbonic Anhydrase |
Important for CO2 transport in blood |
|
Breakdown of heme |
Fe removed and stored (muscle, spleen, liver) Non iron portion to bilirubin |
|
Bilirubin |
Non iron portion of heme Excreted in bile from liver |
|
Jaundice |
Excess bilirubin in blood due to 1. Excess RBS breakdown 2. Liver dysfunction 3. Blockage of bile excretion |
|
Breakdown of globin |
Converted to amino acids (recycled) |
|
2 types of white blood cells |
Granulocytes Agranulocytes |
|
Types of granulocytes |
1. Neutrophils 2. Eosinophils 3. Basophils |
|
Neutrophils |
Phagocytic 1st to enter infected area |
|
Eosiniphils |
Attack parasites Break down chemicals released in a allergic reaction |
|
Basophils |
Secrete histamine (increase inflammation) Secrete heparin (inhibits local clotting) |
|
2 types of agranulocytes |
1. Monocytes 2. Lymphocytes - T lymphocytes - B lymphocytes - natural killer cells |
|
Monocytes |
Enter tissue, enlarge to become phagocytic macrophages |
|
2 types of T lymphocytes |
2 types 1. Helper 2. cytotoxic |
|
B lymphocytes |
When active create plasma cells and secrete antibodies |
|
Natural killer cells |
Attack foreign cells and abnormal cells |
