Q

Newton’s First Law of Motion

A

An object at rest or moving at constant speed in a straight line will continue in that state until a net external force acts upon it. This is the law of inertia.

Q

Newton’s Second Law of Motion

A

-Force is equal to mass times acceleration
F=m x a
-If multiple forces exist, the direction and acceleration are proportional to the sum of all the forces. These are called VECTORS.

How does gravity affect the blood flow in lungs?
In standing position, distribution of pulmonary blood flow is UNeven due to gravity. lowest at apex and highest at the base of lung (will get more blood and oxygen ) -Supine blood flow is nearly uniform throughout the lung
26
Weight equals
m X g m=mass g= acceleration due to gravity
27
SI unit of mass is
kg
28
1 slug= ______kg
=14.62 kg
29
1 lb= ____ N
4.45 N
30
pressure=
force/area measured in pascal
31
pressure is
force per unit area
32
Bourdon gauges
measure pressure in gas cylinders P total =P gauge + P atmosphere used in anesthesia to measure pressure in gas cylinders
33
True zero pressure
Zero reference point may be a complete vaccum
34
Zero alveolar pressure means
at atmospheric pressure
35
Manometer is
u shaped tube filled with fluid of known density, such as mercury. Remember what mercury density was? :)
36
Calculate the pressure difference between the system and the atmosphere by measuring
height distance of the fluid in the U-shaped tube and substituting for the equation: change in P=pg times change in h
37
Aneroid bellows gauge
-does not require presence of a liquid to operate -relies on the expansion or contraction of bellows as the pressure changes -gauges sealed with respect to the atmosphere are used to measure changes in the absolute pressure -gauges open to the atmosphere and sample are used to measure gauge pressure
38
Bourdon Gauge
1. Used on gas cylinders and are considered a type of aneroid gauge. 2. Has a coiled tube and is used to measure the pressure difference between the pressure exerted by the gas in a cylinder and the atmospheric pressure. 3. As gas at a pressure above atmospheric pressure enters the coiled tube, the tube slightly uncoils,
39
PSI=
pounds per square inch
40
Atmospheric pressure is
pressure that is "zero" referenced against a perfect vacuum, so it equals the gauge pressure plus the atmospheric pressure
41
Gauge pressure
pressure that is "zero" referenced against ambient air pressure -equal to absolute pressure minus atmospheric pressure
42
Gauge pressure and total pressure
1. vital that you specify what type of pressure is being utilized and how that pressure was determined 2. Total pressure (absolute pressure) includes the atmospheric pressure plus the gauge pressure: P total(absolute) = P gauge + P atmosphere
43
Oscillometry
method that relies on the measurement of blood pressure oscillations
44
transducer
device that converts pressure into electrical signals suitable for the display and monitoring
45
value of pascal
Pa=1N/1m^2 Pa=102g/m^2 kPa=102kg/m^2
46
Mean QRS vector tends to point where?
Towards ventricular hypertrophy and away from MI
47
atmospheric pressure conversions?
1 atm=760mmHg=760torr=1 bar=100kPa=1020 cmH2O=14.7 lb/in^2
48
Absolute pressure
pressure that is zero referened against a perfect vacuum so it equals the gauge pressure plus the atmospheric pressure
49
Barometer
measures the actual pressure or aboslute pressure
50
what measures gauge pressure?
Manomoeters and bourdon gauges
51
Does electromagnetic radiation have mass?
No.
52
What is normal SVR
900-1200 dyne sec/cm5
53
What is normal PVR
100-200 dyne sec/cm5
54
