Physics 2 Test Ch 18, 19, 20 Flashcards
What kind of flow is moving with a variable velocity from cardiac contractions?
Pulsatile Flow
pg 286
What kind of flow is moving with a variable velocity from respirations?
Phasic Flow
pg 286
What is laminar flow?
Flow streamlines are alined and parallel. Characterized by layers of blood that travel at individual speeds. Laminar flow patters are commonly found in normal physiologic States. Two types of flow are plug(all layers of blood travel at the same velocity). Parabolic (bullet shaped with velocity highest in the center)
Pg 287
What is chaotic flow?
Turbulence
pg 288
What are frictional losses?
Viscous(thickness), frictional (heat), inertial(tendency of fluid to resist changes in velocity)
Occurs when flow energy is converted to heat as one object rubs against another.
pg 290/291
What is the Reynolds number for turbulent flow?
Greater than 2000
pg 288
What are the effects of a stenosis?
Change in flow direction increased velocity as vessel narrows turbulence downstream from the stenosis pressure gradient across the stenosis loss of pulsatility pg 292
What is hydrostatic pressure in a supine position?
All parts of the body are at the same level as the heart so… The hydrostatic pressure is zero.
Pg 297
What is hydrostatic pressure in a standing position?
Finger in air -50 Heart 0 Waist 50 Knee 75 Ankle 100
What is coaptation?
When you can compress the vein.
When you breath in, what happens to the pressure in the legs, abdomen, and chest?
Inspiration
Diaphragm moves downward Thoracic pressure decreases Abdominal pressure increases Venous return to the heart increases Venous flow in legs decreases
pg 301
When you breath out, what is happening to the pressure of the legs, abdomen, and chest?
Expiration
Diaphragm moves upward Thoracic pressure increases Abdominal pressure decreases Venous return to the heart decreases Venous flow in legs increases pg 301
What is a positive Doppler shift?
When blood moves toward the transducer. The reflected frequency is higher than the transmitted frequency.
Pg 304
What is a negative Doppler shift?
When blood moves away from transducer. The reflected frequency is lower than transmitted frequency.
pg 304
What information does a Doppler shift tell us?
the velocity of blood cells in circulation (venous going away or arterial coming toward).
Doppler shift is directly related to frequency of transmitted sound.
pg 303
What is the normal Doppler shift range in diagnostic imaging
20 Hz and 20kHz
audible range
pg 338
