Hemodynamics Problem Set Flashcards
1
Q
Go through all of the hemodynamics problems
A

2
Q
Ptotal = Constant
A
Pstatic + Pdynamic = (Plateral + ρgh) + (1⁄2ρv2) = Constant
3
Q
The dynamic pressure is normally _______.
A
The dynamic pressure is normally negligible
4
Q
Discuss the surface area differences of the vessels of the circulatory system
A
Capillaries have greatest surface & cross sectional area so: Q = AV, since Q is constant, their velocity is slow!
capillaries>arterioles>arteries
capillaries>venules>veins
Note that venous vessels have greater diameter; so
capillaries>arterioles>venules> veins> arteries
