Blood Flow And Hemodynamics Flashcards
Which valve has 3 valves and which side is it on?
Tricuspid valve in the right side
The mitral valve is the
Bicuspid valve on the left side
Semilunar valves
Pulmonary and aortic valves
How many type of fibers do we have in the heart?
Circular longitudinal and oblique
Equals the total volume of blood flow through systemic or pulmonary circulation
Cardiac Output
Amount of blood ejected from either the right or left ventricle in one beat
Stroke volume
Cardiac output equals
Stroke volume x heart rate
Frictional resistance to blood flow provided by all the vessels between the aorta and right atrium
Total peripheral resistance
Small radius change in radius has a large effect on flow
True; a 5% increase in radius produces > 20% increase in flow at the same P
Ventricle contraction
Systolic pressure
Relaxing of the heart
Diastolic
Represents the driving force averaged over the time of the heartbeat obtained from bisecting the integral of the pressure curve
Mean arterial pressure
Lowest velocity of blood flow
Through the capillaries which allows time for exchange of fluid and solutes with the tissues
Doppler ultrasound is a test that measures
Cardiac output by bouncing high frequency sound waves off circulating red blood cells and measuring the frequency change in reflected sound
Pressure drop is proportional to the
Resistance in each segment of the vascular use
