,Mean Arterial Pressure Systolic BP + Diastolic BP x2 divided by 3
Aorta->Artery->Arterioles Principle tissue is smooth muscle
Capillaries Single layer of endothelial cells
Venules->Veins-> Superior Vena Principle tissue connective tissue
Cava
Intima Layer of endothelial cells
Direct contact with blood
Media Smooth muscle and elastin
Thicker in arteries
Adventitia Supportive connective tissue
Control of blood flow-Extrinsic Vasoconstriction
Sympathetic Nervous System (smooth muscle)
Norepinephrine - one of the catecholamines
Control of blood flow-Instrinsic Autoregulation
Maintaining a constant flow regardless of
changes in arterial pressure
, Arterial thrombus Symptoms of this clot:
intermittent claudication
may lose pulse in region below clot
cool extremities
arterial ulcers
Vein thrombus Asymptomatic to life threatenting
Symptoms of this clot:
edema
Homan's sign
pain
warm extremities
Thrombus causes: dehydration
birth control pills-increase estrogen=increased
clotting factors
hypercoagulability
sedentary lifestyle
prevention of thrombus anticoagulants
block platelet aggregation
antiembolitic stcokings
SCD's
early ambulation after surgery
