Cardi Flashcards
Blood flow
Volume or quantity of blood that passes a given point in a given time
Velocity
The linear displacement per unit of time
Velocity equasion
=Q (blood flow)/A (cross sectional area
Lowest blood velocity
In arterioles
Ohm’s law
Blood flow= pressure gradient/resistence
Critical closing pressure
The pressure gradient is zero or the pressure gradient is lower than resistence
Resistence equasion
R=8length*n(viscosity,eta)/
Resistence is influenced by
Viscosity
Radius of the tube
Length is constant
Types of resistence
Series
Parallel
Series resistance
The total resistance is equal to sum of indivdual resistances
Paralel resistance
The total resistance is equal to sum of resistance reciprocals
Distensibilty
Increase in volume per rise in pressure

Rule= volume gradient /pressure gradient*original volume
Veins are —— more distensible than arteries

Compliance
The volume or quantity of blood that can be stored in a portion of circulation for a given rise in pressure
Compliance equasion
=distensibilty*volume
Veins are ——-mor compliant than arteries

Laplace law
The larger the radius the more tension is required to wishstand a given pressure
Tension equasion
T=P*R
Patterns of flow
Laminar
Turbulent
Define BP
Pressure gradient
…
Produced by the heart and it provides the driving force for moving blood through the circulation
Pressure is produced when blood flow
Opposed by resistance
Systemic pressure
Declines through circulation
Factors affecting blood pressure:
1.Cardiac output
2.Peripheral resistance
3.Total blood volume
The cardiac cycle
The cardiac events that occur from the begining of one heart beat to the begining of the next one
