32
Q

The statement about laminar blood flow is true

A

The outermost layer of blood experience the greatest resistance to flow

33
Q

Blood pressure is the

A

Measure of the force blood exerts against blood vessels walls

34
Q

The auscultatory method of measuring blood pressure

A

Relies on hearing korotkoffs sound through a stethoscope

A

Would be consider normal for young adult male

36
Q

When measuring blood pressure with a sphygmomanometer which is the following best described when blood flow in a brachial artery is turbulent?

A

When pressure in the brachial artery I s greater than in the blood pressure cuff and a greater than the diastolic pressure

37
Q

Whichbof the following would be increase resistance to blood flow

A

A decrease in the radius of the vessel

38
Q

Resistance in the cardiovascular system

A

Tends to increase if blood viscosity increase

39
Q

Resistance in the cardiovascular system

Tend to increase if blood viscosity increase

40
Q

According to poiseuilles law

A

If resistance increase flow decrease

41
Q

As viscosity of the blood increase

A

The pressure required to force it to flow increase
