Submit Answers to the Following Questions:

Part I:
What two parameters are responsible for creating the movement (filtration and reabsorption) of fluid across the capillary wall?
The hydrostatic pressure/blood pressure and osmotic pressure/water pressure.
Find a diagram of a capillary – copy/paste and cite the source.
[pic] http://cikgurozaini.blogspot.com/2011/01/fluid-exchange.html
Under normal circumstances, what components of the blood cross the capillary wall?
Blood cells can't travel but interstitial fluid can and other small solutes.
Cytokines, like histamine and leukotrienes, are secreted by damaged cells in Dave’s ankle. How do these cytokines cause inflammation?
E-selectin are induced by cytokines from injured cells and they function like P-selectin.
How does the application of ice to the ankle affect blood flow through the capillaries?
It constricts the capillaries and decreases swelling and blood flow!!!!!!!
How does the removal of ice from the ankle affect blood flow through the capillaries and the cytokines?
The blood flow increases because it helps return the blood flow to normal.
How does compression, which is provided by an elastic (Ace) bandage wrapped around the damaged ankle, decrease inflammation?
It physically constricts the blood vessels which reduces pain and swelling.
How does elevation of the damaged ankle decrease inflammation?
It increases blood flow back to the heart which is important when it comes to swelling :)

Part II:
What problems are there in Suzie’s life, and does she exhibit any peculiar signs and symptoms? She feels neglected by her mom. She felt faint and weak!!! And skips breakfast. She doesn't seem to get attention nor seem happy.
Why did Suzie pass out when she stood up?
She had an inadequate

    * The proximal end of a metarteriole is surrounded by scattered smooth muscle fibers whose contraction and relaxation help regulate blood flow. The changes that take place in the peripheral vasculature of the skin are blood flow decreasing, an increase in vascular resistance increases blood pressure; a decrease in vascular resistance has the opposite effect.…

    The blood vessels are then able to dilate to increase blood flow and expose the site to necessary inflammatory and immune cells. Dead or badly damaged tissue is removed. It is common to experience swelling, heat, and redness during this phase. Importantly, neutrophils, macrophages and lymphocytes are activated and accumulate in the injured site. Macrophages are essential to the removal of dead tissue and bacteria. They release collagen, elastin, and growth factors to encourage the proliferation of muscle cells, endothelial cells and fibroblasts. Neutrophils aid in the necrotic tissue and bacterial removal process but are not essential to wound healing. Lymphocytes, particularly T-lymphocytes, are responsible for releasing additional growth factors and antibody…

    Joel feels little blood flowing to his hands and feet due to the vasoconstriction occurring. During this process the blood going to his extremities is being rerouting away from the dermal surface to a network of deep veins wrapped around deep arteries. When this occurs diffusion known as countercurrent exchange begins which traps heat closer to the body core and limits heat loss to the environment by reducing the temperature gradient between the arterial blood and the cold whether Joel is in.…

    3. When I got cold this month my body's blood vessels would actually compress themselves and get smaller. This occurred because your blood is warm. The more blood that flows through your vessels close to the surface of your skin the more heat you lose. If your blood vessels let less blood through this decreases heat loss. The involved systems are the circulatory and nervous system.…

    While it is not known precisely how compression therapy works so well, it evidently prevents the blood from pooling and/or clotting, which helps the blood to flow more quickly back to the heart. Additionally, it aids in the prevention of blood reflux, which can lead to venous ulcers--a dangerous and extremely painful condition affecting the lower legs. In instances of swelling, the compression reduces leakage from capillaries and increases absorption…

    Gangrene

    • 687 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Injuries that leave a portion of muscle tissue deprived of oxygen make a perfect home for infections. Some of the cells in a wound are already dead, and the infection starts in these. "Crush" injuries are most likely to cut off blood supply to a large amount of tissue, and are most prone to gangrene. The infection usually strikes the hands or legs, where blood supply is most easily cut off. In Andy Mott’s case gangrene affected his leg. He said, “… my foot was discolored all the way to my calf…they had to whack…” (his leg)”… off before it snuck up and got something really important.” (p.165)…

    The pressure that is formed when the fluid and dissolved particles move out of the compartment is called filtration pressure. Filtration is part of the transfer of water between the capillary and interstitial spaces. The other three forces that control the movement of water are capillary colloidal osmotic pressure, hydrostatic pressure, and tissue colloidal osmotic pressure. Capillary colloidal osmotic pressure pulls water back into the capillary while tissue colloidal osmotic pressure pulls water out of the capillary into the interstitial…
