Patho Test 2 lect. 1 Flashcards
Hemodynamics is concerned with the _______ generated by the ______ and the resulting _______ of blood through the cardiovascular system
Hemodynamics is concerned with the forces generated by the heart and the resulting motion of blood through the cardiovascular system
What are 4 disorders that arise from a disruption of normal blood flow?
circulatory, cerebral, renal , and maternal
What is Om’s Law?
Q = P/R
What does P, in OM’s law mean?
pressure difference from a to b
What does R, in OM’s law mean?
resistance
True or False, Q in Om’s law = blood flow
TRUE
True or False, blood moves from areas of low P to high?
FALSE, blood moves from high P to low P
What is resistance determined by?
vessel length, radius, viscosity
If vessel LENGTH increases or decreases, what will happen to RESISTANCE?
L ^ = ^ R, v L = vR
IF RADIUS increases or decreases, what will happen to RESISTANCE?
r^ = vR, v r= ^R
If VISCOSITY increases or decreases, what will happen to RESISTANCE?
V^ = ^R, vV = R v
TRUE or FALSE, 99% of blood is made up of WBCs
FALSE, RBC
RBCs and plasma= _____
RBCs and plasma = Hct
IF you increase RBCs, what will happen to viscosity?
Increase
IF you decrease RBCs, what will happen to viscosity?
Decrease
What does TPR mean?
total resistance throughout vascular system
What does SVR mean?
resistance peripheral to heart and lungs
What does increased SVR lead to and why?
HTN, increases work of heart to eject blood, CO
What does decreased SVR lead to and why?
Shock, spread over larger areas (SLOWS)
Measure of distance traveled in a given amount of time
Velocity
What is laminar flow? And give examples.
layer levels of blood movement through smooth vessels (Core center, sides, wall flow)
Give 2 examples of Turbulent flow, a flow created by cross flow to laminar
Bruit, thrills
Place in order the most dynes/cm? Aorta, capillary, vena cava
Aorta (170,000 dynes/cm), vena cava 21,000 dynes/cm, capillary (6 dynes/cm)
What is a dyne?
Unit of force. The force required to cause a mass of one gram to accelerate at a rate of one cenitmeter per second squared.
Wall tension allows an aorta of 1cm to sustain an internal pressure of 100 mmHg, using which structures?
elastin, collagen, and smooth muscle
Wall tension allows a capillary w/ a radius of .000001cm to sustain an internal pressure of 100 mmHg with only _________
a single endothelial cell layer
What things have an effect on pressure?
size, internal pressure
What is hydrostatic pressure?
pressure created by fluid, movement of blood from aorta to capillary
What is colloids and what is colloid pressure?
Colloids are big, heavy weighted plasma proteins. If you put something heavy in the liquid you will sink/get sucked in
_________ has some exerting positive pressure on the blood vessel
Interstital fluid
True or False, without proteins you can maintain pressure.
FALSE, w/out protein you can not maintain pressure, and will have swelling
What is autoregulation?
The intrinsic ability of an organ to maintain constant blood flow despite changes in perfusion pressure. Ex: if I get up fast, there is a gravity pull, which will pull blood from the brain to compensate
Define resitance
arterioles resistance to ventricular contraction and ejection of blood
______ = cardiac output (L/min) 5-6
FLOW
What is the formula for MAP?
MAP = CO X SVR
What is the formula for CO?
CO = SV + HR
What is the short-cut formula for estimating MAP?
ADD diastolic and systolic BP and divide by 2
What does SVR stand for?
Systemic vascular resistance
What is SVR dependent on?
elasticity and diameter of vessels
What is CO and how what is that dependent on?
Volume and rate, preload and afterload
