Q

What are the two types of blood flow?

A

laminar and turbulent

33
Q

What are the properties of laminar blood flow?-

A

-velocity is constant over time
higher velocity in the center
little flow near wall
increased shear near wall
fewer cells toward the wall
Parabolic flow profile

34
Q

What are the properties of turbulent blood flow?

A

disorganized
velocity varies
“eddy” currents (whorls)
increase friction of blood flow
increase resistance to flow
turbulence occurs with increased flow velocity, obstruction, vessel turn

A

2000

36
Q

What do you hear with the first heart sound (s1)?

A

37
Q

What do you hear with the second heart sound (s2)

A

closure of the aortic and pulmonic valves

38
Q

What would you (if you could) hear with the third heart sound? (s3)

A

turbulence associate with rapid ventricular filling

39
Q

What would you hear (if able) with the fourth heart sound?

A
