Q

Vascular conductance is

A

How easy it is to drive flow through a conduit (blood vessel)

Q

Venae cavae has a cross-sectional area of

24
Q

As the blood gets further from the heart, the cross-sectional area cm2 of each section will ________. As it returns the to heart, the cross-sectional area cm2 will __________.

A

get larger; lessen

25
If we have a small cross-sectional area, blood flow will have a ________.
high velocity
26
As blood gets further from the heart, what happens to the velocity of the blood?
Low velocity
27
Left atrium has how much pressure?
Very low pressure
28
As we get further from the heart, what happens to the blood pressure?
decreases.
29
How does the pressure in the large arteries compare to the aorta? How do the small arteries compare to that? Arterioles? Capillaries?
Mostly the same, small arteries it starts to decrease. Arterioles is when it really decreases, and then capillaries its the least.
30
Our high resistance blood vessels in systemic circulation are
Small arteries and arterioles
31
Chokepoint vessels in our bodies are
small arteries and arterioles
32
Veins in capillaries are ____ walled and _____.
thin;compliant
33
pressure gradient between capillaries and right atrium
only about 10mmHg
34
Kidney will manage blood flow by
adjusting vascular resistance
35
Can we have all of the blood vessels open all the time?
No, then there would be no pressure
36
Blood flow through the tissue will be dictated by the
metabolic rate
37
Laminar flow
Blood in the middle of the vessel will go the furthest Blood closer to the walls of the tube wont make it as far, because the walls are the resistance.
38
The type of flow we would want to have everywhere and why?
Laminar flow. Its nice and orderly, its efficient, and it doesnt cause problems.
39
Turbulant flow is also called and what is it
disorderly flow. Its inefficient, and theres turbulance in the blood vessels. Blood flow can be fish hooked and moving not all in the same direction.
40
issues that turbulent flow can cause
deposit cholesterol and calcium into vessel walls
41
What can cause turbulent flow
Clot or blockage in the blood vessel. If there is a narrow opening for blood to go through, the blood will shoot through it very fast and when it gets to the other side of the obstruction, it sprays all over the place. Think of putting your thumb over a garden hose.
42
What predicts the odds that turbulent flow will occur?
Reynolds equation
43
Kidneys get how much cardiac output per minute?
20% or 1L
44
Total cardiac output per minute
5L
45
Which organ gets more perfusion than it needs? why?
Kidneys. They need the blood flow to filter the blood.
46
How to measure blood flow?
Ultrasonic probe
47
Ohm's law
V = IR but rewritten... Voltage = current x resistance now becomes... Pressure, Blood flow, and vascular resistance (F = Delta pressure/ vascular resistance)
48
Delta pressure
difference of pressure between one end of the tube and the other
49
If there is a large delta pressure, we will expect
more flow
50
If there is a small delta pressure, we will expect
less flow
51
A very small change in blood vessel diameter, will
cause a huge change in blood flow
52
Vascular resistance is solved by? example?
using ohm's law (R = delta pressure/flow) In kidney, has 100mmHg of pressure in artery coming into kidney.. Coming out of kidney, renal vein has 0 blood pressure. (just easy number for example) If kidney gets 20% of cardiac output, it gets 1000ml/min Delta pressure = 100 - 0 mmHg Flow = 1000ml/min R= 100/1000 = 0.1 Renal vascular resistance = 0.1mmHg/ml/min
53
If conductance is the inverse of resistance, then
conductance = 1/Resistance
54
Capillary starling forces
important in determining whether fluid will move from inside of capillary to outside, or from outside to in.
55
Flow through a capillary pressure beginning and end
30 and 10
56
