Hyperaemia

Index Hyperaemia

Hyperemia, hyperæmia, or hyperaemia (Greek ὑπέρ (hupér, "over") + αἷμα (haîma, “blood”)) is the increase of blood flow to different tissues in the body. [1]

Adenosine

Adenosine is both a chemical found in many living systems and a medication.

Arteriole

An arteriole is a small-diameter blood vessel in the microcirculation that extends and branches out from an artery and leads to capillaries.

New!!: Hyperaemia and Arteriole · See more »

Blood

Blood is a body fluid in humans and other animals that delivers necessary substances such as nutrients and oxygen to the cells and transports metabolic waste products away from those same cells.

Brain

The brain is an organ that serves as the center of the nervous system in all vertebrate and most invertebrate animals.

Buerger's test

Buerger's test is used in an assessment of arterial sufficiency.

Carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide (chemical formula) is a colorless gas with a density about 60% higher than that of dry air.

New!!: Hyperaemia and Carbon dioxide · See more »

Endothelium

Endothelium refers to cells that line the interior surface of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, forming an interface between circulating blood or lymph in the lumen and the rest of the vessel wall.

New!!: Hyperaemia and Endothelium · See more »

Erection

An erection (clinically: penile erection or penile tumescence) is a physiological phenomenon in which the penis becomes firm, engorged, and enlarged.

New!!: Hyperaemia and Erection · See more »

Erythema

Erythema (from the Greek erythros, meaning red) is redness of the skin or mucous membranes, caused by hyperemia (increased blood flow) in superficial capillaries.

Extracellular fluid

Extracellular fluid (ECF) denotes all body fluid outside the cells.

New!!: Hyperaemia and Extracellular fluid · See more »

Haemodynamic response

In haemodynamics, the body must respond to physical activities, external temperature, and other factors by homeostatically adjusting its blood flow to deliver nutrients such as oxygen and glucose to stressed tissues and allow them to function.

Hypoxia (medical)

Hypoxia is a condition in which the body or a region of the body is deprived of adequate oxygen supply at the tissue level.

New!!: Hyperaemia and Hypoxia (medical) · See more »

Ischemia

Ischemia or ischaemia is a restriction in blood supply to tissues, causing a shortage of oxygen that is needed for cellular metabolism (to keep tissue alive).

New!!: Hyperaemia and Ischemia · See more »

Metabolic waste

Metabolic wastes or excretes are substances left over from metabolic processes (such as cellular respiration) which cannot be used by the organism (they are surplus or toxic), and must therefore be excreted.

New!!: Hyperaemia and Metabolic waste · See more »

Necrosis

Necrosis (from the Greek νέκρωσις "death, the stage of dying, the act of killing" from νεκρός "dead") is a form of cell injury which results in the premature death of cells in living tissue by autolysis.

New!!: Hyperaemia and Necrosis · See more »

Neuron

A neuron, also known as a neurone (British spelling) and nerve cell, is an electrically excitable cell that receives, processes, and transmits information through electrical and chemical signals.

New!!: Hyperaemia and Neuron · See more »

Nitric oxide

Nitric oxide (nitrogen oxide or nitrogen monoxide) is a colorless gas with the formula NO.

New!!: Hyperaemia and Nitric oxide · See more »

Organ (anatomy)

Organs are collections of tissues with similar functions.

New!!: Hyperaemia and Organ (anatomy) · See more »

Penis

A penis (plural penises or penes) is the primary sexual organ that male animals use to inseminate sexually receptive mates (usually females and hermaphrodites) during copulation.

New!!: Hyperaemia and Penis · See more »

Raynaud syndrome

Raynaud syndrome, also known as Raynaud's phenomenon, is a medical condition in which spasm of arteries cause episodes of reduced blood flow.

New!!: Hyperaemia and Raynaud syndrome · See more »

Tissue (biology)

In biology, tissue is a cellular organizational level between cells and a complete organ.

New!!: Hyperaemia and Tissue (biology) · See more »

Vasodilation

Vasodilation is the widening of blood vessels.

New!!: Hyperaemia and Vasodilation · See more »

Vasospasm

Vasospasm refers to a condition in which an arterial spasm leads to vasoconstriction.
