Study Notes
Vascular Pathology and Circulatory System
- The two principal mechanisms responsible for vascular pathology resulting in disease are weakening of vessel walls and complete obstruction of vessel lumens.
- The circulatory system function involves delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues while carrying away metabolic waste products.
- The three major causes of morbidity and mortality mentioned in the text are cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, and hypertension.
Edema and Related Conditions
- Edema is characterized by an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the interstitial space, leading to tissue swelling.
- A general cause of edema is increased permeability of vessel walls.
- Pitting edema is typically caused by increased pressure within the vessel.
- Lymphatic filariasis, also known as elephantiasis, is caused by the parasitic worm Wuchereria bancrofti.
- Congestive heart failure is characterized by edema due to increased pressure in the venous system.
- Nephrotic syndrome is characterized by edema due to increased permeability of vessel walls and loss of proteins in the urine.
- Lymphedema is characterized by an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the interstitial space, leading to tissue swelling.
Blood Clots and Related Conditions
- Thrombosis is the term for the formation or presence of a blood clot within a blood vessel, obstructing the flow of blood.
- Atherosclerosis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality associated with vascular disorders.
- Cardiovascular disease is responsible for more morbidity and mortality than any other category of human diseases.
Cardiovascular System Disorders
- Cardiovascular system disorders are the major cause of morbidity and mortality.
- The normal function associated with a healthy circulatory system is delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues while carrying away metabolic waste products.
- Vascular pathology results in disease via weakening of vessel walls and complete obstruction of vessel lumens.
