Hemodynamics Flashcards
Which blood vessels has the most capacitance
Systemic veins
WHat is the major function of distribution vessels
Match the blood flow to organs with their required requirements
Work together with resistance vells
What is the mean circulatory filing pressure
the equal pressure in any point pf the cardiovascular system when the heart beat is stopped ,
What are the types of vessels in hemodynamics
Windkessel Vessels
Distribution vessels
Exchange vessels
How does the wind kessel vessels affect hemodynamics
Allows continuos blood floow even when the heart is in diastole
Convert the sharp pressure fluctuations in the left ventricle(0 to 120mmHg) into a much smaller pressure fluctuation in the arteries(80 to 120mmHg
Which vessel provides the greatest resistance to blood flow through the arterial system
Small arteries and arterioles
Function of the precapillary sphincter muscles
Partially determines the amount of blood flowing through a particular capillary bed
Allow only 5-10% of the capillary beds in skeletal muscles to be open at rest
Which blood vessels are termed to be exchange vessels
Capillary
What is the diff between Knock in and Transgenic
Knock-in is addition based on gene similarity but transgenic is addition not based on gene similarity
