Document Summary

Thicker walls compared to the lumen than can be seen in venous system. At all times blood is exposed to endothelial cells that are anti-thrombogenic. The spleen is an exception, rbc leave the blood circulation. Blood vessels are designed fro the exchange of nutrients, gases. Degree to which endothelial cells allow exchange to occur depends on what tissue you are looking at. In the liver they are very leaky, brain is opposite. Capillaries will allow plasma to leak into connective tissue, the lymphatic system collects this tissue fluid and returns it to the circulation. If we consider pressures the lymphatic system will be at a much lower pressure. It has to be low because it has to be able to go from the connective tissue to lymphatic vessels by passive diffusion, if it goes against a gradient or pressure it will not work.

There was a horrific traffic accident and you run to help the victims. You feel a pulse from his carotid artery ,however the medic comes along and gets no blood pressure as he measures it from the arm. He claims the victim is dead. You think which of the following?

A

Medic is not correct since it is the difference between heart rate and blood pressure that determines life. No heart rate only means tha the sympathetics have stopped vasoconstricting the blood vessels.

B

Medic is correct since it is common to not have a blood pressure of 120/80 and no pulse due to stress as was discussed in class.

C

Medic is incorrect since there is a pulse. This means the person is still alive.

D

Medic is correct since there is no blood pressure there is no life.

QUESTION 2 If the difference in partial pressure of gas on either side of the barrier to diffusion is 0, which of these events will occur?
