hemodynamics test and edelman chapter 18- test 1 Flashcards
hemo means
blood
dynamics means
power
hemodynamics means _________
“The study of blood circulation”
FLUID CHARACTERISTICS
Density definition
mass per unit volume (g/ml)
FLUID CHARACTERISTICS
mass definition
measure of an objects resistance to acceleration (inertia)
FLUID CHARACTERISTICS
viscosity definition
resistance to flow offered by a fluid in motion
(poise = 1 g/cm/s)
blood 50% higher than water
viscosity units
poise
1 poise = 1g/cm or .1kg/m
blood is a __________ fluid
Viscous
what does Viscous fluid mean
flows and conforms to the
shape of its container
blood consist of (breakdown of blood)
Consists of :
-Plasma (60%) - liquid component; water (90%) proteins, glucose, ions, hormones, & gases
-RBC - erythrocytes; contain hemoglobin for transporting oxygen
-WBC – leukocytes (five types); protect the body against disease
-Platelets - result from cell fragmentation within bone marrow; carry chemicals important to clotting
2 types of circulatory systems
Systemic - “peripheral circulation”
Pulmonary - “central circulation”
“peripheral circulation” aka
Systemic
characterized by high pressure and high resistance
“no room for all this blood!”
“peripheral circulation” aka systemic
“central circulation” aka
Pulmonary
characterized by low pressure and low Resistance
“I have room, feed me!”
“central circulation” aka pulmonary
___________ = Force exerted by the blood against the vessel wall
pressure
_____________= Opposition to flow (affected by the visocity of fluid, diameter and length of the vessel)
resistance
_______= the volume of blood passing through a vessel
flow
_________ Equation which says that flow in a long straight tube (vessel) is determined not only by the pressure difference, but also by any resistance to flow
Poiseuille’s
Used in understanding flow through long vessels as it moves away from the heart
volumetric flow rate
Q (volumetric flow rate = Δ Pressure/Resistance
Poiseuille’s Equation
if pressure difference increases then flow rate would ___________
increase
if diameter of vessel increases then flow rate would ________
increase
If length of vessel increases then flow rate would _________
decrease
if viscosity increases then flow rate would ____________
decrease
