Hemodynamics Flashcards
1
Q
How does sympathetic stimulation affect venous sytem?
A
Increase volume (more so than arterial side)
2
Q
How does sympathetic stimulation affect arterial system?
A
Increase pressure (more so than venous side)
3
Q
What is Ohm’s Law?
A
Flow = change in pressure / resistance
4
Q
What is describe by Reynold’s number?
A
Pressure at which flow turns from laminar to turbulent
5
Q
What is the Law of Laplace?
A
Tension = (change in pressure) x (radius)
6
Q
How is the Law of Laplace described qualitatively?
A
Wall tension increases with increasing pressure and radius
