Energy Flow Flashcards
1
Q
What does it mean if the flow is too rapid in the GI tract?
A
Diarrhoea
2
Q
What is the transfer matched with in pulmonary flow?
A
It is matched to cardiovascular flow
3
Q
What is healthy normal pulmonary function determined by?
A
Normal Flow Characteristics
Lung Capacity
Peak Expiratory Flow Rate
Airway Resistance
4
Q
What is peak expiratory flow rate?
A
how rapidly the gases flow through the airways
5
Q
What is a deficit defined by?
A
A change in normal flow characteristics
6
Q
How would you measure a change in flow in the cardiovascular system?
A
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
Heart rate x stroke volume = cardiac output
blood pressure
blood biochemistry (cholesterol + flow factors)
