Homeostatic Responses to Shock

Shock

Shock

The scheme depicts the cell metabolic response as a result of inadequate blood delivery during circulatory shock.

This diagram of the process of shock indicates inadequate perfusion, cell hypoxia, energy deficit, lactic acid accumulation and fall in pH, anaerobic metabolism, metabolic acidosis, vasoconstriction, failure of precapillary sphincters, peripheral pooling of blood, cell membrane dysfunction and failure of sodium pump, intracellular lysosomes release digestive enzymes, efflux of potassium, influx of sodium and water, toxic substances enter circulation, capillary endothelium damaged, destruction, dysfunction, and cell death.
