cardiovascular - lecture 3 Flashcards
HOW DOES flow move
higher pressure to lower pressure
what is blood pressure
force exerted by blood on wall of bv
blood flow = higher to lower pressure
pressure needed for blood flow
what is pressure
force/area
what is systemic bp
120/80mmhg
what is central venous pressure
5-15 cm h2o (6-12mmhg)
when is there no flow
when force = pressurexarea is equal on both sides
no diff in pressur e
when is there flow
p inlet
p outlet
diff pressures =flow
describe flow in capillaries
decrease velocity and pressure = stop from pushing things out through membranes
like at kidneys
describe pressure in blood vessels
increased in arteries and arterioles than in cap, venules and veins
resistance much greater in arteries and arterioles than in cap
arteries and arterioles = high resistance and cap and veins and venules = low resistance
more muscle = contract better, structure is everything
describe pressure - pulm circ gen
systemic = high
diastolic = low
less significant in smaller vessels, less and less since further away
much easier than whole periphery
pressure lower in pulm circ since small distance
describe diff between systolic and diastolic
pressures higher during systole than diastole
oscillations between the 2 parts of the cardiac cycle
is pressure differences between systole and diastole important in all bv
NOOOO
less significant for arterioles and cap
important for arteries, arterioles and cap
is the oscillation of pressure between the 2 parts of the cycle present all the time
NOO
dissapears in veins and venules
what is perfusion pressure
perfusion pressure = inlet pressure -outlet pressure
delta P = Pin - Pout
what goes in - what goes out
arterial pressure - venous pressure
but normally Pa»_space; Pv (100mmhg vs 5mmhg)
so delta P is around Pa
when is there no flow - perfusion pressure
when delta P = 0
not flowing, static
Pin=Pout
what is flow formula
perfusion pressure/resistance
which vessel regulates flow
arteries
can change diameter
what is hypertension
more resistance so bp increases
