Hemodynamics Flashcards
what are the 2 types of directional flow
forward and reverse flow
what is hemodynamics
blood movement
study of blood flow or the circulation
what is circulation
flow of blood through a closed system
describe arterial system
multibranched elastic conduit that carries blood away from the heart
the heart is the pump through contractions and relaxations
when the heart contracts, the intended flow is forward into the _____ and ______ artery
aorta and pulmonary artery
blood flow is in _____
ability to do _____
motion
work
what is conservation of energy
energy is never lost only converts to another form
potential - _____ energy
kinetic - _____ energy
total energy = _____ + _____
resting - static
motion - dynamic
potential + kinetic
what is work
amount of energy transferred over time
units - joules
what is power
concentration of force per unit area
force behind fluid flow
what is hydrostatic pressure
pressure exerted by a fluid due to its weight or force per unit area
measured related to the heart
units - mmHG
factors of hydrostatic pressure
height of the column of blood
density of the fluid
force of gravity
what is energy or pressure gradient
pressure difference in order for blood to move
**flow is from high to low pressure
pressure in the left ventricle rises and blood is ejected out of the _____ valve into the _____
aortic valve
aorta
what is stroke volume
amount of blood ejected
equal to the difference between end-diastolic volume and end-systolic volume
heart pump generates _____ to move the blood
pressure (potential energy)
pressure gradient is the same as pressure _____
difference
**necessary to maintain flow
greater the pressure gradient, the _____ the flow rate
greater
loss in flow is due to…
friction
resistance
