Acute, widespread process of impaired tissue perfusion
|
Shock
|
|
|
Initial (stage I) of shock
What happens? |
1. Low cardiac output
2. Poor tissue perfusion 3. Anaerobic cell metabolism begins 4. This lead to lactic acid production 5. Lactic acid further damages |
|
|
How does the nervous system compensate for shock?
|
1. Increases heart rate
2. Increases the contractility of the heart 3. Shunting of blood to vital organs via arterial and venous vasoconstriction |
|
|
Why is angiotensin II increased in the body to compensate for shock?
|
To vasoconstrict, thus increasing cardiac output
|
|
|
Why is more aldosterone and ADH excreted to compensate for shock?
|
To retain Na and water
