CV 9: Capillaries, Veins & Lymphatics
Capillaries
Transport
Filtration
Balance of Starling Forces
Osmotic pressure
Hydrostatic pressure
Lymph production
Pinocytosis
Medium-sized lipid insoluble substances
Diffusion
Lipid-soluble substances :arrow_right: go through
Lipid-insoluble substances :arrow_right: water pores
Endothelium-mediated regulation
Nitrous Oxide
Released in response to acetylcholine and/or increased shear stress
Prostacyclin
Released in response to shear stress
Prevent adherence of platelets
Vasodilation
Endothelin
Vasoconstriction
Veins
Venomotor tone = stiffness
Pumps
Skeletal
Respiratory
Constriction = :arrow_up: blood flow
Lymphatics
Same blood flow regulation as veins
Dead-end capillaries
