Question 1

Darcy’s Law

Answer 1

Flow = Pa - CVP / TPR

Question 2

TPR - Total periphereal resistance

Answer 2

controls blood flow and blood pressure

Question 3

What controls TPR

Answer 3

Darcy’s and Poiseulle’s laws
Myogenic response
Blood viscosity

Question 4

G = conductance is the reciprocal of TPR

Answer 4

G = 1 / TPR

Question 5

Poiseuille’s Law

Answer 5

Resistance = 8n L / pi x r ^4

Question 6

Haematocrit

Answer 6

Number of blood cells in a given volume
