Lecture 5 blood vessels (cid:894)co(cid:374)t"d(cid:895) a(cid:374)d regio(cid:374)al circulatio(cid:374) Pop quiz: what is the functional significance of the following structural features: single endothelial layer wall of a capillary. This lowers diffusion distance: smooth muscle in the walls of arterioles. Contributes in constricting or dilating to regulate pressure and blood flow: smooth muscle in the walls of the largest veins. Provides compliances to the muscles so that you can have large changes in volume with small changes in pressure; this allows them to store blood or donate blood: fenestrations. Holes in capillary walls that increase the rate at which water-soluble compounds can travel across capillary wall. You have to calculate the net filtration pressure at both the arterial and venous end; if both sides have the same value (both positive or both negative) then there is no loss of water. Nfp = (36-18) (25-1) = -6.
