Q

what happens during systole in the cardiac pump?

A

(contraction) lt vent pressures increase rapidly to exceed aortic pressure and push bolus of blood into the arteries

Q

what happens during diastole in the cardiac pump?

A

(relaxation) lt vent pressures decrease rapidly and lt vent refills with blood from the lt atrium

17
Q

what is potential energy?

A

stored energy of motion

18
Q

what is gravitational energy?

A

stored energy related to elevated position

19
Q

kinetic energy is reduced in blood vessels due to what 3 factors?

A

-viscosity
-friction
-inertia

20
Q

what is viscosity?

A

thicker blood moves slower

21
Q

what is friction?

A

layers of blood sliding against each other, energy lost in form of heat

22
Q

what is inertia?

A

energy lost when speed of blood changes

23
Q

name at least 4 factors affecting blood flow?

A

-cardiac function
-peripheral resistance
-vessel compliance
-tone of vasc muscle
-vasoconstriction
-vasodilation
-viscosity
-exercise
-autoregulation

24
Q

what is resistance?

A

determines the rate of flow in the arteries

25
Q

what is resistance regulated by?

A

arterioles

26
Q

if you increase viscosity, what happens to resistance?

A

increases

27
Q

if you increase vessel length, what happens to resistance?

A

increases

28
Q

if you increase the vessel radius, what happens to resistance?

A

decreases

29
Q

if you increase resistance, what happens to blood flow?

A

decreases

30
Q

if resistance increases, what happens to pressure?

A

decreases

31
Q

what happens to resistance prox to a stenosis?

A

increases

32
Q

what happens to resistance distal to a stenosis?

A

decreases

33
Q

what is the equation for resistance?

A

8nL/ pie(r)^4

n= blood viscosity
L=length of a blood vessel
r=radius

34
Q

what is the Poiseuilles Equation for?

A

-demonstrates relationship between flow volume and resistance
-used to describe how much fluid (blood) moves through an artery

35
Q

in poiseulles equation, small changes in vessel radius cause the most significant changes in what?

A

flow
-vessel length and viscosity area constant, increase in either one will cause increase in resistance

36
Q

equations for flow volume?

A

(Q) = (P1-P2) pie(r)^4/ 8nL
P= pressure
n= blood viscosity
L=length
r= radius
or
(Q) = (P1-P2)/R
P=pressure
R= resistance

37
Q

what is the bernoulli effect?

A

-when fluid flows at a constant velocity from 1 point to another, energy remains constant
-if pressure changes, velocity changes

38
Q

what is the equation for bernoulli effect?

A

triangle(Pressure)=4V^2

39
Q

pressure is highest in which part of the heart?

A

lt vent
-increase in systole, decrease in diastole

40
Q

flow volume is always proportional to what?

A

pressure
-increase volume = increase BP
