Lacrimal secretions contain a type of antibody that blocks the passage of antigens to deeper internal tissues. Which type of antibody is this, and where can this antibody be found in the body
In a drop of blood pressure, your body wants to retain as much fluid as possible in your body First blood vessel will be constricted (increase blood pressure) - so cardiac output will increase. Second, aldosterone will be released in the adrenal cortex to reabsorb the sodium and water in the nephron. Anyone has other add ons?
Baroreflex, Circle of willies. you only need 30-40% of maximum potential blood output to the brain inorder for it to have enough. Circle of willies in a region in the brain where pretty much all the Carotid arteries combines into one circular region. Basically put, let's say you've a clot in 1 of the (5 two anterior (anterior cerebral and anterior communicating), two posterior (posterior cerebral and posterior communicating) and the internal carotid artery) major arteries, blood still flows through the regions of the brain that artery that clotted was previously supplying. Imagine 5 pipes leading toward a buffer with a continous intermittens preasure. If you shut one of the valves off somewhere in it's region you'd still have a circulation before the cloosing of the valve and after the closing of the valve due to the intermittens preasure of the other 4 valves. Does any of this make any sense to you?
The victim will go into hypovolemic shock. The venus system will constrict and the kidneys will retain fluid in an attempt to maintain oxegenated blood at critical organs. Failing this, the patient will die.
