Question 5 of 28

How does pressure change through arterioles?
Drops from 90 (mean) – 36.

Question 6 of 28

What does it mean that an arterial has tone?
Under a degree of tension. (Smooth muscle)

Question 7 of 28

What is filtration?
Fluid leaving capillaries into interstitial space.

Question 7 of 28

Question 8 of 28

What is reabsorption?
Fluid entering capillaries from interstitial fluid.

Question 8 of 28

Question 9 of 28

Why does pressure fall over a capillary?
Fluid leaves capillaries.

Question 9 of 28

Question 10 of 28

What pressure draws fluid into the capillary?
Blood Colloid Osmotic Pressure. (Oncotic)

Question 10 of 28

Question 11 of 28

What causes osmotic pressure?
Proteins dissolved in plasma that cannot exist capillary.

Question 12 of 28

What do arterioles do to BP? (2)
Increase it due to constriction, decrease pulsitility.

Question 13 of 28

How do you determine Net Filtration Pressure in arteriole end of capillary?
BC – BCOP (36 – 26) = 10 mm Hg.

Question 14 of 28

What is the BCOP at the venule end?
26 mmHg.

Question 14 of 28

Question 15 of 28

What is the BHP at the venule end?
16 mmHg.

Question 15 of 28

Question 16 of 28

Why has BHP dropped?
Fluid left capillaries.

Question 16 of 28

Question 17 of 28

How is the cardiovascular system arranged – in series or parallel?
Parallel.

Question 18 of 28

What does this mean to flow and pressure for each region?
Flow & pressure is the same to each area.

Question 18 of 28

Question 19 of 28

Where is the velocity change in different types of vessels?
Capillaries. (Lumen size)

Question 20 of 28

Where does the volume change?
Does not change.

Question 20 of 28

Question 21 of 28

Why does the volume not change?
Area of capillaries much larger.

Question 21 of 28

Question 22 of 28

Why does the flow / speed / velocity change?
Lumen size.

Question 22 of 28

Question 23 of 28

What happens when arterioles dilate? (to flow?)
Flow increases.

What are the internal layers of the tunica intima?
Basement membrane and endothelium internal elastic lamina.

Question 24 of 28

Exchange through capillaries.

What happens if filtration exceeds reabsorption?
Edema.
