Best Answer

Decreased tissue blood flow due to occlusion will result in metabolic vasodilators accumulating in the extracellular fluid. The arterioles will hence dilate but the occlusion will still prevent normal blood flow. The occlusion is then removed and decreased resistance will increase blood flow. As the vasodilators are washed away, the arterioles constrict, and the blood flow returns to normal.

What is the difference between erythema and hyperaemia?

Erythema is the physical sign of redness of an ectodermal structure like skin or the exocervix. It is caused by Hyperemia, which is the presence of increased blood flow to a particular structure. Erythema is a physical sign, while Hyperemia is a physiologic process. Hyperemia can also occur in other parts of the body like in a myocardial infarct.


What can cause hyperemia?

Hyperemia can be caused byaldosterone hormone (which increases blood volume, therefore, icreases blood pressure). Either way by physical exercise -when someone is training,working out- which activates sympaticus and parasympaticus.


What is reactive volt amps?

volt ampere reactive is the unit of reactive power.It is the power which does no useful work but is required to assist in performing work,such as setting up magnetic fields in motors and transformers.It is also called as imaginary power.It occurs in purely reactive circuit i.e. purely inductive or capacitive.The inductance absorbs the reactive power and capacitance injects the reactive power.In inductance,reactive power is utilised to develop the flux while in the capacitance,the reactive power's function is to store the charge.

List the cardinal signs of inflammation and the causes of each sign?

Rubor (Redness) - Vasodilation, local hyperemia that occurs when atrioles dilate. (remember that hyperemia is due to an increased metabolism often induced by a fever.) Tumor(Swelling) - Exudate, fluid containing clotting factors and antibodies seeps from the blood into the tissue spaces. Calor(Heat) - Vasodilation, local hyperemia that occurs when atrioles dilate. (remember that hyperemia is due to an increased metabolism often induced by a fever.) Dolor(Pain) - Edema presses on adjacent nerve endings contributing to the sensation of pain. Also the sensitizing effects of releasing Agranulocytes(prostaglandins and kinins.
