What is flow
the volume of blood moving during a particular time
what is velocity
speed of fluid moving from one location to another
what is velocity
speed of fluid moving from one location to another
what flow is associated cardiac contraction
pulsatile
what flow is associated with respiration
phasic flow
what is the reynolds number for laminar flow
less than 1,500
laminar flow is characterized by
layers of blood that travel at individual speeds
laminar flow patterns are commonly found in
normal physiologic states
plug flow occurs when
all of the layers and blood cells travel at the same velocity
parabolic flow has a what shape?
BULLET
• most common flow type
what flow is associated with pathology?
Turbulent flow
velocity is the highest in ___ of the lumen
center
in a vein that has a stenosis where is the pressure lowest
narrowest
and velocity is higher
Where is the greatest resistance in a vessel with stenosis?
in stenosis
Blood flow near the vessel wall has more or less resistance?
