Lesson 2C Part 3 Flashcards
What happens in low flow states
Red cells stick together which increases viscosity
Clotting mechanisms lead to
Entrapment of red blood cells and clot foramtion which raises pressure
Temp and viscosity have what kind of relationship
Inverse
Major regulator of vascular resistance is
Vessel radius
Increased fatty tissue required more
Blood vessels to service us and adds to the toal vessel length in the body
The longer the vessel length the _______ the resistance
Greater
Vessel resistance is ____ proportional to the viscosity
Directly
Vessel resistance is ______ to the radius to the fourth power
Inverse proportional
Vessel resistance is ______ to the length of the vessel
Directly
Peripheral resistance is controlled by what two things
Sympathetic nerve innervation
Autoregulation
the arterioles are the ________ of the vascular tree
Stopcocks
What is reactive hyperemia
Defined as the marked increase in blood flow which follows restoration of arterial inflow to a previously ischemic limb
Driving pressure for flow is determined by
Potential energy and kinetic energy
Energy loss is highest in region of
Stenosis due to consdierable friction from turbulent and vortex motion
Inside the stenosis there is a _____ in kinetic energy
Increase and an increase in blood velocity
