Electrolytes are ____ dissolved in water
Ions
A liquid will flow between 2 regions if a ________ _______ exists between the 2 regions
Pressure difference
Liquids will flow from ____ pressure to ___ pressure
High; low
What are 2 examples in the body of liquids flowing from high to low pressure?
The heart pumping blood, urinating
____ ____ is the volume of a fluid that passes a point in a given time period
Flow rate
Factors that affect flow rate:

Factors that affect flow rate:
3. ______ of the vessel
Length
Factors that affect flow rate:
4. _______ of the vessel
Diameter
Factors that affect flow rate:
5. ____ of flow
Type
Factors that affect flow rate:
6. ______ of the vessel
Walls
Liquid will only flow if there is a pressure difference, otherwise known as a pressure _________
Gradient
Liquid will flow from a region of ____ pressure to a region of ___ pressure
High; low
Thickness of a liquid is otherwise known as _______
Viscosity
Higher viscosity = ______ ___________ therefore _____ pressure is required to move the liquid
Higher resistance; higher
What happens when you are dehydrated?
Blood becomes thicker
The _______ the tube, the _______ the resistance. This results in a ______ flow rate
Longer; greater; lower
Poiseuille’s law. Volume flow rate is ____________ to (___ ______)⁴
Proportional; tube radius
Normal blood flow = Normal BP. ________ blood flow due to atherosclerosis = __________ BP
Reduced; Increased
In ______ flow, flow is streamlined, and fluid flows in ________ layers
Laminar; Parallel
In _________ flow, the flow recirculates and eddies. This can occur when the tube has __________, roughened ________, and _______________
Turbulent, constrictions, surfaces, obstructions
How does atherosclerosis affect blood flow?
The arteries becomes narrowed due to clotting, which decreases the diameter of the vessel
How might the body try to maintain blood flow (when atherosclerosis is present)?
It will result in turbulent flow
What effect will atherosclerosis and turbulent blood flow have on the heart?
It will have to work harder
