Flow And Pa Flashcards
1
Q
What are the 2 types of circulation and which one has higher pa?
A
Systematic- oxy blood from heart to rest of body … higher pa and more resistance
Pulmonary- deoxy blood from body to heart
2
Q
What is stroke volume?
A
Volume of blood per beat
3
Q
How is cardiac output measured?
A
Stroke volume x heart rate= volume per min
4
Q
What is bulk flow?
A
Transport in blood or air due to pa differences- pushes it through
5
Q
Whats the relationship between flow and pressure differences?
A
Flow is proportional to pa differences
6
Q
What’s the problem with turbulence?
A
Increases resistance which causes vibration … causes murmurs and wheezing
