Term
| Definition of Vasocontriction |
|
Definition
short period of constriction of precapillary arterioles around injury area
length of time varies on degree of injury |
|
|
Term
| Definition of Vasodilation |
|
Definition
greater flow of blood into an area bringing phagocytic cells and plasma proteins to site of injury
increases hydrostatic pressure forcing fluid out of blood vessels |
|
|
Term
| Definition of Vascular Permeability |
|
Definition
allows for movement of fluid and plasma proteins from vascular to intersitium
most common mechanism is the formation of endothelial gaps in venules |
