Ch.16 Flashcards
Characteristics of blood flow and a vessel’s ability to perfuse a downstream organ is assessed using
color and spectral doppler.
Color doppler
allows for rapid identification of vessels, flow direction and high velocity jets that signify disturbance to flow
Duplex doppler
supplies both structural and functional information of a vessel.
Abdominal arterial system consists of
the segment of the aorta from the level of the diaphragm to the aorta bifurcation
Celia artery located
1-3cm below diaphragm,12th thoracic and 1st lumbar vertebrae.
Which renal artery is longer?
Right renal artery because it must pass posterior to IVC and right renal vein to enter the hilum of right kidney.
right renal artery is___than right renal artery
higher
Percentage of population who have anatomic variants to the mesenteric vessels, with most common an anomalous origin of right hepatic artery
20%
majority of identified replaced right hepatic artery anomalies originate as
a branch of the SMA
% of population with duplicated/accesory renal arteries
20%
Accessory renal arteries usually enter
upper or lower poles of kidney rather than entering the organ at the hilum.
-Are found more often on left side than right
Collagen fibers that make abdominal artery walls look bright are found in the
Tunica intima and Tunica media
hemodynamics
-defines physical factors that control blood flow within the human body
-is depending on potential,kinetic and gravitational energy as well as size, elasticity and geometry of blood vessel.
Theories related to fluid dynamics that have been used to gain understanding of blood flow within body
Poiseuille’s law,bernoulli’s law, ohm’s law and law of conversation of energy
Poiseulle’s law
predicts volume of flow in moving fluids.
-parameters used to determine impact flow include : pressure gradient, radius,length of a tube and viscosity of the fluid.
greater the pressure gradient ,greater the flow
Poiseuille’s law
what has greatest impact on flow?
the inverse relationship of the tubes radius ,because it is to the 4th power
Ohm’s law
Electrical current is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely related to resistance
Bernoulli’s principle
Conservation of energy.Energy cannot be destroyed but it can altered from 1 form to another.
-In a closed system,all energy at 1 location must equal all energy in another location
What impacts the way blood flows within a vessel?
blood viscosity ,size and configuration of the vessel and smoothness of the lumen.
Blood flow in a normal vessel is described as
Laminar
2 types of blood laminar
parabolic and plug flow
Laminar flow is
described as concentric layers of blood that move parallel to each other in an orderly and predictable manner
-faster velocity in the center of vessel and slowest along vessel walls,creating bullet shaped flow profile called parabolic flow
Bullet shaped flow profile
parabolic flow
Plug flow is found at
the entrance or origin of a vessel.
