Fluid movement (Jv) = Κf [(Pc-Pi)-σ(πc-πi)]
this applies to GFR in kidneys
Pc
Increased Pc
- dilation of arterioles
- constriction of veins
Decreased Pc
- constriction of arterioles
- constriction of veins
σ
Reflection coefficient (0 to 1) 0 = leaky and oncotic pressure doesn't have an effect (multiplied by zero)
*can also be increased under pathophysiological conditions (burns and inflammation)*
should be "decreased"
Kf
= hydraulic conductivity (permeability to water)
*can also be increased under pathophysiological conditions (burns and inflammation)*
Edema
Edema
- cardiogenic
- increased Pc
- noncardiogenic
- decreased capillary oncotic pressure
- obstructed lymphatics
Ascites (malnutrition - low protein edema)
Local Control of Blood Flow
Active Hyperemia - metabolites dilate arterioles
Reactive hyperemia - after reduced flow, flow increases (low O2, metabolites)
Hypoxia vasodilates in peripheral circulation but vasoconstricts in pulmonary circulation
- alveolar hypoxia triggers inhibition of voltage gated K+ channels in arterioles leading to depolarization then activation of voltage gated Ca++ channels = vasoconstriction.
