CVT 100 #5 PHYSICS WEEK 6 EXAM REVIEW Flashcards
What is the definition of Force
mass x acceleration
What is the definition of mass
a quantity of stuff
can be defined by how much force it takes to change its state…
What is the definition of Pressure
force per unit area
Define Resistance
opposition to movement
Definition of Flow
volume per unit time
Velocity
distance per unit time
Units for force & pressure
SYSTEM: SI
Force:
Pressure:
Force : Newton (kg*m/sec^2)
Pressure: Newtons/m^2
Poiseuille’s Law:

Units for force & pressure

Two ways to increase blood flow from heart during exercise:
- Increase heart rate
2. Increase force of myocardial contraction
Frank-Starling Law:
More filling,
more stretch —> more forcible contraction (more contractile force)
Balloon analogy: blow up a little, little force; blow up a lot, more force on release.
Or rubber band analogy: pull a little bit, little force; pull a lot, more force.
Function in Systole
Open Valves
Closed Valves
Systole Contraction, ejection
Approximately 1/3 of the cardiac cycle
Open valves: Aortic and pulmonic
Closed valves: Mitral and tricuspid
Function during Diastole
Open Valves
Closed Valves
Diastole Relaxation
Approximately 2/3 of the cardiac cycle
Open valves: MV and TV
Closed valves: AoV and PV
Distribution of blood volume:
About 1/3 in the arterial side,
and about 2/3 in the venous side.
Right heart provides energy for the
pulmonary circulation.
Left heart provides energy for the
systemic circulation.
The net effect of exercise is usually an increase of
systemic blood pressure.
