Steady Flow vs Pulsatile Flow

Question 1

steady flow originates from a

Answer 1

steady driving pressure

Question 2

steady driving pressure has a more ________ behavior

Answer 2

predictable

Question 3

In a rigid tube, energy losses mainly viscous, this can be described by

Answer 3

Poiseullie Equation

Question 4

what changes both the driving pressure conditionas as well as the response of the system

Answer 4

pulsatile flow

Question 5

during systole, what opens

Answer 5

ao valve, forward floe throughout the periphery (fluid acceleration)

Question 6

late systole/ early diastole

Answer 6

temporary flow reversal

Question 7

temporary flow reversal is due to a

Answer 7

phase shifted neg pressure gradient and peripheral resistance, causing reflection of the wave prox

Question 8

the dicrotic notch is related to

Answer 8

closure of the ao valve and the influence of peripheral resistance

Question 9

what happens to the flow during late diastole

Answer 9

flow is forward, as reflective wave hits the prox resistance of the next oncoming wave and reverses
