Complete Solutions
RIGHT - ANSWER Which side pumps blood through the lungs
and is called Pulmonary Cirulation?
LEFT - ANSWER Which side sends blood throughout the rest of
the body except the lungs, and is called Systemic Cirulation?
CAPILLARIES - ANSWER Allow for contact and exhange bw blood
and interistial space or interistitum (env in which cells live)
VARICOESE VEINS - ANSWER Veins in which blood has pooled,
px'ed distended, tortous, and palpable vessles caused by
trauma to saphenous veings that damage one or more valves or
gradous venous distention caused by ax of gravity on blood in
legs

VARICOSE VEINS RISK FACTORS - ANSWER Risk factors include
staning long time, wear tight stuff, cross legs at knees, females,
pregnancy, fam history, obesity, DVT, and leg injury
CHRONIC VENOUS INSUFFICIENCY (CVI) - ANSWER Disease of
the veins defined as inadequare venous return over long
periods of time. Characterized by venous hypertension,
circulatory stasis, tissue hypoxia leading to inflammatory
response, sclerotic remodeling of the skin and ulceration. Valves
are malfunctioniong.

DEEP VEIN THROMBOSUS (DVT) - ANSWER Thrombus formation
in the veins.
Disease of the veins caused by Triad of Virchow which is an
accumulation of clotting factors and platelets, inflammation
causing pain and redness, and obstruction of flow which results
in edema of effected extremity.
TRIAD OF VIRCHOW - ANSWER The 3 factors responsible for
DVT:
1. venous statis (assoc w age, immonbilitu, CHF),
2. venous endothelial damage (trauma, meds)
3. hypercoagulatility (inherited disorders, malignancy,
pregnancy, BC, hormone replacement)
DOPPLER ULTRASOUND - ANSWER What can you use to check
for DVT?
ANTICOAGULATANTS (HEPARIN AND WARFARIN) - ANSWER
How can you treat DVT?
