  1. The Microcirculation Figure 16-1; Guyton and Hall

  2. Structure of Capillary Wall Figure 16-2; Guyton and Hall

  3. Interstitium and Interstitial Fluid Figure 16-4; Guyton and Hall

  4. Determinants of Net FluidMovement across Capillaries • Capillary hydrostatic pressure (Pc)-tends to force fluid outward through the capillary membrane. • Interstitial fluid pressure (Pif)- opposes filtration when value is positive. Figure 16-5; Guyton and Hall

  5. Determinants of Net FluidMovement across Capillaries • Plasma colloid osmotic pressure ( c)- opposes filtration causing osmosis of water inward through the membrane • Interstitial fluid colloid pressure ( if) promotes filtration by causing osmosis of fluid outward through the membrane NP = Pc -  c - Pif +  if Figure 16-5; Guyton and Hall

  6. Plasma Proteins and ColloidOsmotic Pressure • 75% of the total colloid osmotic pressure of plasma results from the presence of albumin and 25% is due to globulins. gm/dl p(mmHg) Albumin 4.5 21.8 Globulins 2.5 6.0 Fibrinogen 0.30.2 Total 7.3 28.0

  7. Determinants of Net FluidMovement Across Capillaries Figure 16-5; Guyton and Hall • Filtration rate = net filtration pressure (NFP) multiplied by the filtration coefficient • Filtration coefficient (Kf) is a product of surface area times the hydraulic conductivity of membrane

  11. Net Starling Forces in Capillaries • Net filtration pressure of .3 mmHg which causes a net filtration rate of 2ml/min for entire body. Figure opener; Guyton and Hall

  12. Question Utilizing the data below, calculate the rate of net fluid movement across the capillary wall: Pressures (in mmHg) Plasma colloid osmotic = 20 Capillary hydrostatic = 20 Venous hydrostatic = 5 Arterial = 80 Interstitial hydrostatic = -5 Interstitial colloid osmotic = 5 Filtration coefficient = 10 ml/min/mmHg a. 0 ml/min d. 100 ml/min (Reabsorption) b. 10 ml/min (Filtration) e. 10 ml/min (Reabsorption) c. 100 ml/min (Filtration)

  13. Lymphatic System

  14. Determinants of Lymph Flow • The degree of activity of the lymphatic pump • smooth muscle filaments in lymph vessel cause them to contract • external compression also contributes to lymphatic pumping Figure 16-11; Guyton and Hall
