TBL 8 Flashcards
laminar vs turbulant flow
reynolds number and its relationships
- Increased Re number > 3000→
– Increased cardiac out put, Increased diameter of blood vessel→
– Anemia→ Decreases blood viscosity→
– Thrombosis→
arteries
arterioles
veins
capillaries
velocity of blood equation
and its relationship
v= Q(flow rate)/Area
velocity of arteries vs veins, vs capillaries
Direction of blood flow-
resitance of blood vessels and its relationshop to blood flow
Poiseuille equation
what relationship does it tell you
relatioship between blood flow and resistance to blood flow
inc radius, inc blood flow. Inc radius, decrease resitance to blood flow
Q= 1/r^4
Ohm’s law of fluid flow
relationships
Laplace equation-
relatioships
vessel wall (T) and radius of blood vessel relatioships based on laplace equation
large arteries must have _________ walls than
small arteries in order to withstand the level
of tension
large arteries must have thicker walls than
small arteries in order to withstand the level
of tension
vascular compliance relatioship
compliance of artieries and veins
Changes in venous compliance can result in redistribution of blood
With increasing age (elderly people)– arteries become stiffer and less distensible (decreased arterial vascular compliance) —–>
pulmonary circulation vs systemic
circulation pressure difference
Mean pressures (mm Hg) in:
aorta and large arteries_____
peripheral systemic arterioles _____
peripheral systemic capillaries (frictional resistance to blood flow, and filtration of fluid out of capillaries): ____
– systemic venules: _____
, peripheral systemic veins and vena cava ___
right atrium: _____
