Resp and CVS laws Flashcards
P1V1=P2V2
Boyles law
In a mix of non reacting gasses, the total pressure is equal to the sum of the pressure of the individual gasses
Dalton’s law
The amount of dissolved gas in a liquid is proportional to its partial pressure above liquid
Henry’s law
PAO2= PiO2- PaCO2/ R
Alveolar gas equation
P=2T/R (Air will move into larger alveoli)
Laplace’s law
R= 8nL/ pi R^4
Poiseuille’s Law
The amount of blood ejected by each ventricle per minute
Cardiac output
The volume of blood ejected by each ventricle per beat
Stroke volume
The number of times the heart beats per minute
Heart rate
The volume of blood in each ventricle at the end of diastole
End diastolic volume
The percentage of end diastolic volume ejected with each beat
Ejection fraction
The volume of blood remaining in each ventricle at the end of systole
End systolic volume
Within physiological limits, the force of contraction is directly proportional to the initial length of the muscle fibre
