normal index of refaction for aqueous
1.336
crstalloid
a solution containing very small particles < 1 micron in size.
They are homogenous and transparent
colloid
not homogenous
larger particles make it opalescent
this is aqueous
Tyndall effect
results in an opalescent appearance. Light shines ont a colloid and will refect off goving particles a smoky appearance. Cells and flare!

aq is the size of a colloid but with clarity similar to a crystalloid
Diffusion
spontaneous movemment of moelcuels requring no additional energy, but maily occuring by thermal convention
Brownian movement
random movement of particles in a fluid tofill all available spaces --> can changea crsyalloid into a colloid.
dislysis
ion distribution across a semipermeable membrane without pressure added to the system. NO ADDED PRESSURE

allows passage of Na and Cl ions
Gibbs-Donan equilibrium
Predicts the movement of carged particles and moelcules across a semipermeable membrane under osmotic and chemical pressure.

Proteins do not move but do effect Na and Cl movment so that a true equilirium CANNOT be reached due to these proteins
Ultrafiltration
dialysis under hydrostatic pressure
ADDITION of pressure that pushes particles across the semipermeable membrane.
Occurs in capillaries, esieclaly nonfenestrated ones.
20-30% of aq is produced this way
Nonfenestrated capillariese are present in ciliary body stroma and allow most elements to leak thru wlls.

Tight junctions of the nonpigmented epithelium of ciliary body act as the sempermeable membrane for aqueous production!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pressure is due to blood pressure
Responsible for production of aq
Tight junctions of the nonpigmented epithelium of ciliary body act as the sempermeable membrane for aqueous production!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Responisble for aq ultrafiltration pressure factors:
-pressure in ciliary capillaries, local autonomic innervation of smooth muscles
- intraolcar pressure (WORKS AGAINST ultrafiltration, makes less IOP be produced --> negative feedbackloop)
Osmotic pressure resulting from high protein concentrations in ciliary body and stroma. Pulls water from aq into stroma and thus IS AGAINST aq production, as well.

ONLY blood pressure favors Aqueous production!
For filtration and production of aq to occur
Capilly pressure must be GREATER than IOP +Osmotic pressure!!!
Avg capillary pressure is about
27-28 mm Hg
Average IOP
16
Average osmotic pressure
14 mmHg
Percentage of aq produced y ultrafiltration based on te math:
30-40%

An average capillary pressure of greater than 40 mmHg is needed to drive ultrafiltration, and the average is 27-28.
2nd process of aqueous production
ACTIVE SECTRION
What % of aq is responsible for active secretion?
60-80%
Active secretion is caused by
basal infoldigns of NPE laer of the ciliary body that is under control of Beta 2 receptors. The active secretion ustilizes the Na/K/ATPase pump which makes this system
PRESSURE INDEPENDENT on the production of aq.
It is, however, ENERGY dependent
Is active secretion of aq pressure dependent?
NO... but it is energy! dependent and erquires O2 and gucose.
energy dependent active secretion of aq pump
Na K 2 Cl- moves from stroma into pigmented epithelium
Na moves into NPE from pigmented epithelium
CO2 +h20 forms HCO3- Carbonic ANHYDRASE
Gets pumped OUT of cell thru Aquaporin 1 channels
PRIMARY DRIVING FORCE of aq production is
Chemo-osmotic imbalance from actions o the NA/K ATPase pump

Can treat gluacome by reducing carbonic anhydrase production

Aqueous versus plasma
has higher vitamin C, amino acids, Cl and Na.

brakdown blood aq barrier
stimulated by alpha receptors via sympthetic
derived from aracadonic acid.

contraction of sphincter of iris which results in miosis
Inovled in pain response
after injury, miosis of pupils occurs and is due to
substance P release via prostaglandins
Flare is
proteins
cells in aqueous are
wbc
prostaglandins work in two ways
initially it increases IOP
but then beings to INCREASE uveoscleral outflow so that it DECREASES IOP

can call hyperemia though
Xalatan Latanaprost
PG wonder drug
topical
stimulates melanogensis to INCREASE pigmentation of iris
INCREASES uveal-scleral outflow
INCREASES length of eyelashes

other drugs: Travatan and Lumigan
Complications of chronic inflammation related to PG release:
1. Cystoid Macular Edema
intraretinal cysts
decreased VA
Aq flow out from anterior chamber:
150 microliters per hour
Flow of aq:
Ciliary body -> posterior chamber -->pupil --> anterior chamber --> two pathways to trabecular meshwork and Schlemm or uveal pathway to vortex veins
Aqueous is produced at a rate of:
2.5 microliters per minute
production of aq_______ as we age
decreases
Krukenberg spindle
due to changes in thermal convection current.Normally cornea is cooler than iris so that aq near iris is heated and then cooled at cornea and falls back to iris.
If pigment is present in anterior chamber the PIGMENT can be depositsed on cornea in a VERTICAL pattern --> pigment disperion syndrome. Can clog meshwork and outflow --> PIGMENTARY glaucoma.
Which gender has higher IOPs on average?
Females
At what age does IOP start to change?
40
What season is IOP lowest?
lower in summer, higher in winter, can be due to blood pressure changes in the season.
If pressure difference is greater than 5 for seasonal variation in glaucom patients, it is a RED FLAG
Effect of incresed blood pressure on IOP
In response to increase in BP, the eye, under AUTONOMIC CONTROL, keeps blood vessels CONSTRICTED or DILATED as needed to protect eye --> keeps pressure NORMAL
Pressure highest during what time of day?
EARLY morning 3-5 AM --> cortisol is being released which prevents lysosomes that break down MPS in the juxtacanilar tissue from working --> makes q more viscous.
waters effect on iop
increase
Alcohol effec on iop
DECREASE, strong diuretic, decreases blood volume
upside down effect on iop
INCREASE IOP
Myopes tends to have ___________ IOP
higher
Flow of aq into EYE
Flow= Cin(Pa-IOP)
Ease of aq enter eye(pressure in ciliary body pushing aq out-pressure pushing back in)

ONLY considers the pressure dependent portion of aq production: 20%
Psuedofacility
IOP high enough to actually stop the production of aq via ultrafilatration. This occurs when IOP approaches DIASTOLIC BP 50-60 mm Hg!!!!
Flow OUT of eye
Cout(IOP-Pepiscleral venous) + Uveal scleral pathway.

80% of outflow IS pressure dependent

If IOP reaches 50-60 mm Hg outflow SHUTS DOWN and Schlemm's canal COLLAPSES
For every 1 mm Hg increase in Pressure of episceral venous pathway Pe there is
a .8 mm Hg INCREASE IN IOP

ANYTHING effecting EPISCLERAL VEINS HAS A HUGE IMPACT ON IOP
Things that effect Pressure of episcleral pathway
GONIO
Hanging upside down
Tight necktie
Valsalva maneuver
For every 1 mm Hg increase in Ciliary Body arterial pressure Pa
there is a .2 mm Hg change in IOP!!!
