Quiz for Week 1 and 2 Flashcards
Presence of muscle and elastic fibers give arteries to important properties
elasticity
Contractility
Types of arteries
Large vessels
Elastic arteries
Such as - aorta, pulmonary artery
Types of arteries
Medium arteries
Muscular arteries
Such as -carotid, brachial, femoral arteries
Types of arteries
Arterioles: resistance vessels
Help regulate blood flow by contracting and relaxing.
Contribute the most to overall blood pressure
Smallest arteries of feed the capillaries
Types of arteries-
capillaries-functioning vessels
Tiny, millions, oxygen, and nutrient exchange done in these
Arteries
No valves
Carries blood out of the heart to the tissue
Thick walls
Oxygenated blood
High-pressure system
AO
Aorta
CIA
Common iliac artery
IIA
Internal iliac artery
EIA
External iliac artery
LEG
Defined in anatomy as a area between the knee and the ankle
Groin
Artery is lateral to vein
Popliteal
Artery is deep to vein
Calf
Artery between the veins
PPG
Photoplethysmography probe (PPG)-
A method that measures the volume change in a vessel using light
CW
Continuous wave (cw) -
A pencil probe Ultrasound transducer are used to measure blood flow
PAD- peripheral arterial disease
Lower extremity pulse points
Common femoral artery
Popliteal artery
Posture tibial artery
Dorsalis Pedis artery
Dorsalis pedis - use 3 fingers for pulse
Energy gradient
A change in energy from one point to another
Kinetic E
Velocity of the blood
Potential E
Pressure
-main form of energy
-Comes in many forms such as , blood pressure and gravitational pressure
Stroke volume
-the amount pressure (70ml)
This is volume of blood pumped into the arteries and increases the pressure in the blood vessels and causes art to stretch out
Systolic pressure
The pressure at the highest measurement it occurs when the artery is at its full of stretch
“The distention”
Diastolic pressure
When the fullest point has passed, blood keeps moving due to inertia and recoil of the stretched artery wall
Diastolic pressure
When the fullest point has passed, blood keeps moving due to inertia and recoil of the stretched artery wall
Bernoulli Principle
A principal in hydrodynamics:
The pressure in a stream of fluid is reduced as the speed of flow is increased
Bernoullis Eqation
TE= KE +PE
Flow requires an energy gradient
Flow also must be able to overcome resistance
Gravitational energy = hydrostatic pressure
