Hemodynamics Flashcards
Hemodynamics
-concept of how _____ in the vascular system
blood flows
_______ law helps us to understand hemodynamics
-it’s related to pressure, length of the vessel and radius of the vessel
poisuille’s
poisuille’s law has some limitations as it relates to blood flow
- assumes blood vessels are ____. Blood vessels are __________
- Applies to _______ fluid, blood is _______
- Assumes that the flow in vessel must be ____ and ____, blood flow is _____
rigid; extensible and not rigid
homogeneous; heterogenous
steady and streamlined; pulsatile
Peripheral resistance
The greater the PR, the (more or less?) the bloood flow
The greater the raidius,the (more or less?) the PR , the (more or less?) the blood flow
Less
Less
