The difference in osmotic pressure
What opposes blood pressure in the capillaries?
Osmotic pressure
How does water move between capillaries and interstitial fluid?

pressure than interstitial fluid

water into the capillaries

What contains a larger concentration of proteins? Blood or interstitial fluid?
Blood
What is the Blood colloid osmotic pressure (BCOP) mm Hg?
25 mm Hg
What does Blood colloid osmotic pressure (BCOP) do?

What pulls water into capillaries and opposes the capillary hydrostatic pressure that forces fluid out of the capillaries?
Blood colloid osmotic pressure (BCOP)
What is the difference between the capillary hydrostatic pressure (CHP) that forces fluids out of the capillaries and the blood colloid osmotic pressure (BCOP) which pulls water into the capillaries?
Net filtration pressure (NFP)
What is Net filtration pressure (NFP)?
It’s the difference between the capillary hydrostatic pressure (CHP) that forces fluids out of the capillaries and the blood colloid osmotic pressure (BCOP) which pulls water into the capillaries
What is the formula for Net filtration pressure (NFP)
capillary hydrostatic pressure (CHP) - blood colloid osmotic pressure (BCOP)
What does a positive Net filtration pressure (NFP) mean?
Net motion is out of the capillary
What does a negitive Net filtration pressure (NFP) mean?
Net motion is into the capillary
What is Reabsorption in terms of capillary exchange?
The movement of fluid back into capillaries
What is the movement of fluid back into capillaries?
Reabsorption
How many liters of fluid are filtered by the capillaries in a day?
24
How much fluid is reabsorbed at the venous end of a capillary in a day out of the 24 liters?
20.4 (85%)
Where does the fluid lost by the venous system at capillaries go?
Flow though tissues into the lymphatic system
How can you compare the structure of a vein to an artery?
Have thinner walls and larger lumens than arteries
What happens to the structure of veins in histology?
Veins are usually collapsed and lumens appear slit like
Describe the tunica media of a vein
Tunica media is poorly developed and thin with little smooth muscle or elastin
Describe the Tunica externa of a vein
Tunica externa is thickest wall layer with thick longitudinal bundles of collagen fibers and elastic networks
Veins can hols up to what percent of the bodies blood supply?
65%
What precent of blood volume is typically in the veins?
60%
What are two nicknames for veins?
Capacitance vessels, Blood reservoirs
Is blood pressure in the veins high or low?
low
What does a large lumen in the veins provide?
Little resistance to blood flow
What prevents backflow of blood in veins?
Venous valves
Where are venous valves most abundant?
Veins of limbs
Where are venous valves absent?
Veins of the thoracic and abdominal body cavities
What is the Venous Sinuses?
valveless blood channels located between the periosteal and meningeal layers of the dura mater in the brain
How can you physically describe Venous Sinuses
flattened veins with extremely thin walls composed of endothelium
What are Venous sinuses supported by?
tissues that surround them
What supports Dural venous sinuses?
Dura mater
What are Anastomoses
Special Interconnections Between Blood Vessels
How are arterial anastomoses formed?
When Arteries supplying the same territory merge
What forms when Arteries supplying the same territory merge
arterial anastomoses
What provides collateral channels for blood supply to specific regions
anastomoses
What redundancy in blood supply so that blockage to one artery will not damage tissue?
anastomoses
Where are anastomoses found?
Joints, abdominal organs, heart, brain
What is the anastomoses in the brain called?
Circle of willis
What connect arteries and veins as in capillary beds (not Vascular shunt)
Arteriovenous anastomoses
What connects veins are common
Venous anastomoses
What is the volume of blood circulating in a given period of time

What are the units used for blood flow?
ml/min
What other concept is blood flow equivalent to?
cardiac output
Blood flow is what under resting conditions?
Relatively constant
How can you describe blood flow to individual organs?
It can depend based off of their immediate needs
What is the relationship between blood flow and resistance of blood vessels
They are inversely proportional
As resistance raises what happens to flow?
flow slows
What is resistance in terms of blood flow?
Is a measure of the amount of friction blood encounters as it travels through blood vessels
What is the resistance of the peripheral circulation
Peripheral resistance
What is the measure of the amount of friction blood encounters as it travels through blood vessels
Resistance
What are the three major sources of blood flow resistance?
Blood viscosity, blood vessel length, and blood vessel diameter
What makes blood viscosity change?
the number of red blood cells (anemias and polycythemia) / A shift in hematocrit

Why is resistance important to controlling blood flow
easily be changed by changing blood vessel diameter

Irregular fluid motion where blood from the different lamina mixes
