-> TFG is reduced
-> insuffisance renale

Q

La loi d’ohm in the heart

A

v=IR

V(pressure; P) = I (Debit; Q) * R(resistance)

deltaP = Q * R

Q

Résistance vasculaire, what does it depend on?

A
  • Longueur du vaisseau (l)
    – Rayon du vaisseau (r)
    – Viscosité du liquide (n)

Le rayon du vaisseau est un important déterminant
de la résistance au flot (exposant 4

longeur doesn’t really change
viscocity rarily changes
use radius (dilation vs constriction)

R = (n*l)/ r^4

Q

Major vaisseaux résistifs

A

Petites artères et artérioles

Les petites artères et artérioles
contribuent pour ~50% de la résistance périphérique totale

This is the main target for vasoconstriction and vasodilation!

Q

Capillaries are smaller than arterioles. Why do they not represent the major circulatory resistance?

A

Because although capillaries are smaller, there are a lot more capillaries than arterioles

Q

What does a constriction in veins lead to?

A

Reduced storage -> more precharge -> increase in debit cardiac

Q

vaisseaux d’échange and why?

A

Capillaires

grande surface total permettent un ralentissement de la vitesse
d’écoulement sanguine favorisant les échanges au niveau des tissus

Q

Loi de Laplace

A

tension (T) sur la paroi d’un
vaisseau est déterminée par:
– Rayon du vaisseau (R)
– Pression dans le vaisseau (P)

T = P * Rayon

Q

What protects the capillaries from bursting from high tension given their thin epithelium?

A

Loi de Laplace

Tension = Pressure * Rayon

The small radius keeps the tension low

(assuming a constant pressure)
