A mercury barometer measures
atmospheric pressure
An ideal fluid
1.is turbulent
2.has viscosity
3. has a constant density
has a constant density
Viscosity of a fluid is given by
1.strain rate/shear stress
2. sheer stress/ strain rate
- sheer stress / strain rate
A vessel widens to twice its normal radius. If the volumetric flow rate is constant, the speed of flow at the constriction :
1. halfs
2. doubles
3.is 4 times faster
4. is 4 times slower
is 4 times slower
At very low flow rates bloods apparent viscostity :
1. decreases
2. increases
3. stays the same
increases
As the temp of blood increases the viscosity ;
1. remains constant
2. decreases
3. increases
viscosity decreases
A thixotropic fluid is one in which
the shear stress decreases with time under a constant strain
If the pressure differential between the ends of a vessel halves, and the resistance to flow remains the same the flow rate :
1. halves
2.doubles
3. increases by a factor of 16
halves
The Bernoulli eq may simplified to;
p + pgh = constant
A horizontal flow tube has a cross-sectional Area A1 before a stenosis and A2 at it. The difference in P before (p1) and at (p2) the stenosis is governed by a ratio of :
(A1/A2)^2
The Windkessel theory allows us to model;
the change of Pressure with time in the aorta
A large tube branches into 4 smaller tubes with half the radius of the large one. If the total volumetric flow rate in the small tubes equals that in the large tube, the velocity of flow in the small tubes is :
1. half of that in the large tube
2. the same as that in the large tube
3. twice as that in the large tube
the same as the in the large tube
In a blood vessel with elastic walls, compliance is defined as ;
The change of volume of the vessel per change of pressure of the blood
A typical value for hematocrit in a healthy person is
45%
As blood flows through a vessel with decreasing diameter the bloods apparent viscosity:
1. increases
2. decreases
3. stays the same
decreases
Viscosity in a fluid is the equivalent of what in a solid ;
1.stress
2.strain
3. density
4. none of the above
none of the above ( Youngs Modulus)
Darcys Law
Q(flow rate )= change in p/R( resistance)
Autoregulation in a blood vessels means
flow rate is insensitive to pressure variations
What does Poisuilles Law imply would happen to resistance to flow if a vasodilator doubled a blood vessels radius
Resistance to flow would drop by a factor of 16
According to Laplace Law , if the radius of a blood vessels is halved, but the BP stays the same, the tension is the walls of the vessel will;
1. halve
2.double
Halve
As the shear rate of flowing blood increases the viscosity;
1.increases
2. decreases
3. remains the same
decreases
The unit of density is the ;
1. kg m^2
2.kg m^3
3.kg m^-2
4. kg m^-3
kg m^-3
the unit of weight is the
newton
A diver descends from 5m below the surface of the sea to 10m. The gauge pressure on the diver.
(Pgauge=pgh)
1.halves
2.double
doubles
A mercury barometer measures
atmospheric pressure
A Newtonian fluid
1.has no viscosity
2.is thixotropic
3.has a viscosity that depends on temp
4. none of the above
none of the above
a blood vessels narrows to 50% of its normal radius. if the volumetric flow is constant , the speed of flow at the constriction ;
1.halves
2.doubles
3.is 4 times faster
4. is 4 times slower
is 4 times faster
