Q

What is the volume in the veins called? What do veins have more of compared to A.

A

Called unstressed vol.
Veins can hold more Vol.
much less elastic fiber than A.

Q

Increased pressure means what to flow? What about R

A

Increased pressure means increased flow

Increased R means decreased flow

17
Q

Total blood flow is distributed how among parallel vessels

A

Simultaneously

18
Q

The total resistance of vessels in series is what? What about BF? Where would you find this in the body?

A

The sum of all resistances of all vessels
Blood flow is same throughout all types of vessels
Found in specific organs

19
Q

For vessels in parallel, how to determine total resistance? What about BF? Where would you find this in the body?

A

Found in A. Branching off Ao.
Total resistance is less than any single resistance
1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 etc.

This means that the pressure and flow in each A. Will be aprox. That of the Ao.

20
Q

For a parallel vessel schematic, what happens if another resistance of the same magnitude is added? What about if a single resistance is increased?

A

If another one is added, there will be a decreases in total R

However, if one is increased, there will be an increases in total R

21
Q

What does a reynauds # < 2000 mean? What about >3000?

A

<2000 - laminar flow (no murmurs)

>3000 - turbulent flow

22
Q

Why is reynoles # > in anemia? What about with a thrombus?

A

Anemia - increased bc of decreased blood viscosity

Thrombi - increased bc of occluded vessel

23
Q

Define vascular compliance and the equation for it

A

The col. of blood the vessel can hold at a given pressure

C = V/P

24
Q

Increased compliance means what in terms of volume and pressure

A

Increased volume and decreased pressure

25
Veins can withstand what type of pressure and can hold how much volume? What about A.’s?
V.’s can withstand low pressure and can hold high volume | A.’s can withstand high pressure, but hold less volume
26
A decrease in compliance of the V’s mean a shift where? What about an increase in compliance of the V.’s?
Decreased compliance means a shift to A.’s (stressed volume) Increased compliance means a shift of blood to V.’s (unstressed volume)
27
Why does pressure decrease in capillaries
Frictional resistance to BF | Filtration of fluid out of capillary
28
What is the equation for MAP
MAP = 2/3(DBP) + 1/2(SBP) OR MAP = CO x TPR
29
What does arteriole sclerosis cause in terms of pressure and compliance etc
Increased plaque = decreases r = increased R = decreased compliance = increased systolic, pulse, and mean pressure
30
Define filtration and absorption
Net movement of fluid out of capillary (+) Net movement of fluid into capillary (-)
31
What is the net pressure
The sum of all pressures of the capillary
32
Define capillary hydrostatic pressure
Favors filtration Determined by Arteriole and Venule pressure More affected by venus pressure Highest at the arteriole end of the capillary
33
Define interstitial hydrostatic pressure
Favors absorption
34
Define capillary oncotic pressure
Due to amount of plasma proteins | Favors absorption
35
Define interstitial oncotic pressure
Favors filtration
36
What is the equation for EF
EF = (EDV - ESV)/(EDV)
