Q

Turbulent flow is related to

A

Eddies —> flow in circles but still with forward net flow

17
Q

With turbulent flow physician may hear a

A

“Bruit”

Often main reason for the ultrasound

18
Q

Turbulent flow depends on

A

Reynolds number

19
Q

Critical reynolds number =

A

2000 for blood

20
Q

Flow must surpass ________ to cause turbulent flow

A

a critical reynolds #

21
Q

Reynolds number equation

A

Re= pvd/n

, p = density of fluid
, v = velocity of fluid 
, d = diameter of pipe
, n = viscosity 
, Re= reynolds number
22
Q

What is a stenosis

A

Partial blockage

23
Q

Occlusion

A

Complete blockage

24
Q

In compliant vessels we observe

A

Added forward flow and reversal of flow

25
Q

Compliance is

A

Expansion and contraction of non-rigid vessels during systole and diastole

26
Q

Added forward flw aka

A

Windkessel effect

27
Q

Systole

A

The vessel expands

28
Q

Diastole

A

Vessel contracts, resulting in extended flow without driving pressure from heart

29
Q

Flow reversal occurs during

A

Diastole

30
Q

Blood doesn tflow back into the heart becuase

A

Valve closes

31
Q

In distal circulation, in some locations, when pressure decreases and vessel contracts there will be ____

A

Reversal of flow

There are no valves present to stop it

32
Q

At the stenosis the speed goes

A

Up

33
Q

Why does the speed go up in stenosis

What is the concept called

A

To keep volumetric flow rate (Q) constant at all 3 regions (before, at and after)

Continuity rule

34
Q

Laminar flow is flow in which

A

Layers of fluid slide over eachother in straight lines
