Q

Which equation describes the decrease of stress in a viscoelastic material?

A

σ= σ0*e^(-t/τ)

τ : time constant

18
Q

What is transmural pressure?

A

Difference in pressure between 2 sides of a wall

19
Q

What is tangential stress?

A

Direction of deforming / external force is parallel to the cross sectional area. It results in deformation of the body

20
Q

What is Young’s modulus a measure of?

A

a measure of the ability of a material to withstand changes in length

21
Q

What is collagen made up of?

A

AA wound together in a triple-helix (glycine, proline, hydroxyproline)

22
Q

What is the protein that makes up elastin?

A

Tropo-elastin (contains primarily glycine, valine, and modified alanine and proline residues)

23
Q

What is distensibility?

A

Ability to be able to stretch and expand under pressure (or change in the vessel volume under pressure)

24
Q

What does the Frank-Laplace law state?

A

tangential stress on the blood vessel is proportional to the transmural pressure, the diameter of the lumen and the thickness of the blood vessel wall

25
What does energy dissipation depend on? (3)
- mass - atomic number (Z) - Energy of the substance
