Term
Hydrostatic Pressure
Definition
the force exerted by a fluid pressing against a wall.
Term

Definition
the force opposing hydrostatic pressure, created by the presence in a fluid of large  nondiffusible molecules, such as plasma proteins.
Term
circulatory shock
Definition
any condition in which blood vessels are inadequately filled and blood cannot circulate normally. 
Term

hypovolemic shock
Term
How does hypovolemic shock occur?
Definition
results from large scale loss of blood; acute hemorrhage, severe vomiting or diarrhea, or extensive burns.
Term
Vascular shock
Definition
blood volume is normal, but circulation is poor as a result of an abnormal expansion of the vascular bed caused by extreme vasodilation
Term
What are the common causes of vascular shock?
Definition

loss of vasomotor tone due to anaphylaxis (anaphylactic shock), failure of autonomic nervous system regulation (neurogenic shock), and septicemia (septic shock)

Term

What is cardiogenic shock and when does it occur?

Definition

also known as pump failure, occurs when the heart is so inefficient that it cannot sustain adequate circulation. 

Its usual causes is myocardial damage

Term
pulmonary circulation
Definition
is the short loop that runs from the heart to the luns and back to the heart
