NAJEEB Hemodynamics Part II Flashcards
Formula of Velocity
Q (flow) / PI r^2
Total diameter from capillaries to vena caval system progressively (increasse/ decrease)
DECREASE
Velocity in inversely proportional to the
Cross sectional area through which blood is flowing.
As blood passes through the arterioles what happens to flow?
Pressure drops trying to overcome the resistance found in arterioles
Smallest branch of arteries
Arterioles
Capillaries role ( main )
Exchange vessels
Diameter of aorta vs ALL ARTERIOLES DIAMETER ADDED together, capillaries, etc
Diameter of aorta is large, but All ARTERIOLES DIAMETER ADDED TOGETHER IT IS LARGER than aorta. All CAPILLARIES added together, LARGER than arterioles and arteries.
As blood gets to the capillaries what occurs?
Gas exchange Pick up O2 from alveoli, Release CO2 to alveoli
Cross sectional area from aorta, arteriole to CAPILLARIES progressively
INCREASE
Point of maximum resistance to systemic circulation
Arterioles
Veins are called_______vessels
Capacitance vessels. Venous side capacitance is high
Cross sectional area from CAPILLARIES to VENA CAVA progressivel
DECREASE
Veins vs ARTERIES: PRESSURE
Veins low pressure
Arteries High pressure
2 advantages of arterioles
THICK-walled
Have A LOT OF SMOOTH MUSCLES
Veins vs ARTERIES: Blood
VEINS :Getting UNoxygenated blood from exchange vessels
ARTERIEs; Providing oxygenated blood to exchange vessels
What is the pulse pressure?
Difference between systolic and diastolic BP
Velocity of blood flow : what is it
Velocity of blood as it moves through systemic circulation
% of CO going to coronary
5%
Blood in arteries is under ____PRessure, therefore we call it ______Volume
high ; STRESSED volume
Pressure in pulmonary capillaries is
8 mmHg
Velocity of is ____in aorta _____In arteries ______ in arterioles ________in capillaries
High; lower; even lower, LEAST
Veins vs ARTERIES: Volume
Vein high volume
Arteries low volume
Capillaries come together to form
venules
Velocity is proportional to
Blood flow
Beta 2 adrenergic receptors on which bed
Musculoskeletal
Capilaries is about _____
30mmHg
Flow to large surface area, what happen to velocity?
decrease
More metabolically active tissue (like during exercise)How do arterioles react?
They dilate so that more blood can get to the tissues. Increase metabolic vasodilators release
