Pressure Flow And Resistance Flashcards
Bradycardia
Heart beating too slow
Tachycardia
Heart beating too fast
System or arterial pressure at rest is
120/80
What is the pulmonary artery pressure
25/10
Systolic / diastolic or diastolic/ systolic
Systolic / diastolic
What is systolic arterial pressure
Peak arterial pressure reached during ejection of blood
Diastolic arterial pressure
Lowest arterial pressure reached during diastole while the heart is relaxed and filling
Arterial pulse pressure
The difference between systolic and diastolic arterial pressures
Mean arterial pressure equation
Diastolic pressure +( pulse pressure /3)
Flow through a tube is _____propotional to length of a tube
Inversely
Flow thru a tube is _____proportional to the viscosity of a fluid
Inversely
Flow thru a tube is _____proportional to 4th power of the radius of a tube
Directly
Flow thru a tube _____propoptinal to the longitudinal pressure gradient
Directly
• Resistance is ______proportional to the length of the tube
• Resistance is directly proportional to the length of the tube
Resistance is ______proportional to the viscosity of the fluid
Resistance is directly proportional to the viscosity of the fluid
