Q

Mean arterial pressure (MAP)=

A

~ Pdias + ⅓(Psys – Pdias) = 80 + ⅓(40) = 93 mmHg

approximate because it depends on heart rate

Q

Law of LaPlace equation

A

T = (ΔP x r) / u

Q

walls of larger vessels are subject to

A

greater tension

17
Q

hypertension increases

A

stress on walls of vessels and chambers

18
Q

an aneurysm increases

A

the radius of the vessel and thus increases the stress on the wall. This is why it can lead to a rupture or dissection

19
Q

Law of LaPlace in the heart chambers

A
  1. decreased wall thickness causes an increased tension

2. increased radius causes an increased tension

20
Q

Cardiovascular transport occurs by

A
  1. bulk transport

2. transcapillary transport

21
Q

Bulk transport

A

refers to movement of a substance through the cardiovascular system from point A to point B

22
Q

Transcapillary transport

A

describes the movement of a substance between capillaries and tissue

23
Q

bulk transport equation

A

x = Q • [x]

x = rate of transport of substance x
Q= flow 
[x]= concentration of substance x
24
Q

how much O2 carried to a muscle in a minute?

A

Delivery in ml O2/min = cardiac output x O2 concentration

25
Fick's principle is the
application of the bulk transport idea to substrate consumption by a capillary bed, a tissue, or the whole body. simple conversion of mass: amount used is the amount in minus the amount out
26
Fick's equation
``` Xused = Xi - Xo Xused = (Q •[x]i) - (Q •[x]o) Xused= Q ([x]i - [x]o) ```
27
Q is constant through
CV system, so it is the same for initial and final conditions.
28
Fick’s Principle is commonly used to determine
cardiac output and myocardial O2 consumption
29
Ficks equation for myocardial oxygen consumption
mVo2 = CO ([O2]a - [O2]v) ``` mVo2 = myocardial oxygen consumption (ml/min) CO = cardiac output (L/min) [O2]a = arterial O2 concentration [O2]v = venous O2 concentration ```
30
Fick's equation for cardiac output
CO = mVo2/ ([O2]a - [O2]v)
