Cv 2 Vessels Flashcards
When BP changes in respect to arterioles changing size
If 1 changes BP wont change. If all change- constrict, BP up, all relax, bp down
How much relative blood volume in veins
2/3
Why high CO is issue in anemia
Already low 02, high CO will lead to less time spent for oxygen exchange
Biggest players in vascular resistance and why
Arterioles- control flow
Capillaries- small size
Which organs get most flow (Q)
Heart 4%, but uses larger proportion of it than brain (gets 13%)
Liver and GI 24%, liver filters
Muscle 21%, increases if running
Kidney 20%, filters
Skin 18%
Which organs use 02 the most VO2
Brain, 21%. Uses less than heart per proportion (heart 11%)
Kidney is active, liver and gi average, skeletal muscle average
When running where does CO leave and go to
Leaves liver and GI, goes to muscles
How to calculate map:
P___ + (__-___ / ___)
Pdiastolic +
Systolic- diastolic

Can never have higher pressure on average higher than where
Inside of heart, farther away from hydrostatic pressure and lose it to gravity
Big drop in average pressure where
Small pressure drop
Almost no pressure drop
Arterioles
Capillaries
Veins
What is poiseueille’s law
R (resistance)=
N (viscosity) x L (tube length) x 8
____________________________
Pi x r (radius) ^4
Relationship to resistance
Radius
Tube length
pressure difference
Radius inc- less resistance, dec more resistance
Longer tube will have more resistance
More pressure difference less resistance.
What happens as radius doubles
Flow increases to a factor of 16 (r to 4th)
What happens as tube length doubles to flow
Flow cut in half, flow= 1/length
Flow= __ x ___ x __
Height of column
Density
Acceleration of gravity
What happens when height of one tube twice as high as other
Pressure twice as great, twice as much flow
What happens when tubes have same height of fluid (effect on flow)
Pressure difference is 0 so flow is 0
Flow in tube with length 1 vs tube with length 2
Flow twice as great in flow with length 1
What happens to flow as viscosity doubles
Flow cut in half
What happens when we double radius to flow
Increase flow by factor of 16
Where radius changes play into effect in physiology
When radius isn’t a limiting factor
Small changes in arterioles have big changes in flow and resistance downstream.
When volume isn’t full (flow of blood through vessel is limiting factor)
What happens to viscosity as hct increases
Viscosity increases
