Cardiovascular Physiology V Flashcards
what does hemodynamics describe
How the blood flows
What influences hemodynamics? (4)
- Bloodstream velocity
- Flow
- Resistance
- Effects of smooth muscle
what is Bloodstream velocity?
It is also the rate of ______
How fast the blood is going
The rate of displacement of fluid over time
Bloodstream velocity is proportional to
flow
what is flow
the volume of blood that passes a given cross section of vessel per unit of times
flow is determined by ____ and proportional to ____ & ____
- pressure
- pressure & radius of the tube
____ is affected by the differences in arterial pressure to venous pressure
flow
Pressure is affected by ____ & _____ and influenced by ____ & ____
- effects of gravity and venous valves
- density and height
____ is inversely proportional to the length of tube & viscosity
flow
the proportional relationship of flow to radius and inversely proportional to viscosity and length of tube
Poiseuille’s law
The longer the tube the ____ the flow
lower
____ is Proportional to viscosity and length
Resistance
If blood is more thick resistance
increased
___ is Inversely proportional to radius
Resistance
If Radius of artery is larger resistance is
decreased
_____ Can change the radius of the vessel thus change the resistance
Effects of smooth muscle
_____ surrounds the artery and changes the radius of a vessel
smooth muscle
____ leads to changes of the resistance on the blood & flow to compensate
smooth muscle
the _____ system Includes aorta and vena cava
Series System
what is 1 segment of vessels that connect to another segment known as
Series System
in series system Resistance of whole system = ____
to the sum of each part
_____ system can have an effect the flow
Series System
____ system Includes capillary system
Parallel System
Many capillaries that line up next to one another is known as ____
Parallel System
the advantages of a parallel system is that Even though
capillaries are high resistance the parallel system decreases resistance
Resistance of all parallel capillaries is _____ because ____
- < the resistance of 1 tube
- it has additional pathways
____ describes how fluid moves as a series of thin layers
Laminar blood flow
in _____ flow each layer moves at a velocity different from that of its neighboring layers
Laminar blood flow
in ____ flow the maximal velocity is in central region
Laminar blood flow
in Laminar blood flow
fluid moving along the outside of the tube will meet resistance because _____
coming into contact with the edges of vessels
in laminar blood flow ____ Will move more slowly than fluid in vessels
Fluid moving along the outside of the tube
______ will move in a straight line despite the fact that they are at different speeds
Fluid moving along the outside of the tube
Irregular movement of fluid in a tube
Turbulent blood flow
Requires increased pressure to force flow through the same tube that was laminar (=more work)
Turbulent blood flow
As turbulence increases it requires increased _____ this leads to ____
pressure to force that blood flow through the same tube that was laminar => more work
Turbulent flow develops in (2)
- Large diameter tubes (add more fluid in larger diameter tube will get more fluid moving through )
- Low viscosity fluid
Abrupt variation in tube dimension (bifurcation) can lead to
Turbulent flow
Irregularities in tube walls (i.e. plaque, cholesterol)
can cause
Turbulent flow
vibrations AKA murmurs are due to
Turbulent flow
____ is due to low viscosity, abrupt changes in arterial dimension, large vessels, and arteriosclerosis
Turbulence
____ can cause changes in characteristics of blood vessels or abnormalities
Turbulence
aortic aneurysm (ballooning out of blood vessels) is an example of ____ flow
Turbulent flow
____ is known as Pressure applied outside artery that exceeds the patient’s arterial pressure
blood pressure
when external pressure falls below arterial pressure, blood starts to flow
Systolic Pressure
When external pressure falls below minimum pressure in the artery, sound disappears
Diastolic pressure
Blood pressure is dependent on____ & _____-
- compliance
- volume
blood pressure is proportional to _____ and inversely proportional to _____
- Proportional to volume
- Inversely proportional to compliance
As BP increase _____ decrease
compliance
As BP increase _____ increase
volume
volume is dependent on _____ & _____
- flow In artery
- flow Out of artery
= to resistance to flow in the systemic vascular bed
Total peripheral resistance
