25
Q

what happens to flow rate if you increase resistance

A

Q and R are inversely related so decreases

26
Q

How does resistance depend on radius? If radius doubles, what happens to resistance?

A

Resistance depends on radius to the 4th power

radius doubles, resistance decreases X16 (2^4)

27
Q

how does vasodilation and vasoconstriction change flow resistance

A

vasodilation- decreases resistance

vasoconstriction- increases resistance

28
Q

When do you use the poiseuille equation?

A

when resistance is not known

29
Q

what happens to flow rate if you decrease diameter (according to poiseuille’s law)

A

flow rate decreases

30
Q

what happens to flow rate if you increase length

A

flow rate decreases (because resistance increases)

31
Q

volumetric flow rate in a tube depends on

A

pressure difference
length of tube
diameter of tube
viscoscity of fluid

32
Q

what are the two types of flow

A

laminar and turbulent

33
Q

what is laminar flow

A

flow in which layers of fluid slide over eachother in straight lines

34
Q

types of laminar flow (3)

A

plug flow
parabolic flow
disturbed flow

35
Q

Flow is seen at a stenosis or bifurcation

A

Disturbed flow

36
Q

Plug flow

A

Flow seen at the entrance to tubes where the same speed is seen across the vessel

37
Q

The fastest speed seen in parabolic flow? the slowest? what is the average flow speed?

A

fastest= centre
slowest= tube walls
average flow speed is 1/2 the fastest speed

38
Q

Type of flow seen after significant stenosis

A

Turbulent flow

39
Q

Flow where you’ll hear bruit

A

Turbulent

40
Q

Characterizing factor for turbulent flow

A

critical reynolds number, 2000 for blood

41
Q

Factors affecting reynolds number

A 
density (p)
velocity 
diameter
-------------
viscosity
42
Q

stenosis vs occulsion

A

partial vs complete blockage

43
Q

what is pulsatile flow

A

non-steady, acceleration and deceleration over cardiac cycle

44
Q

true or false - venous circulation is such that pressures, flow speed and patterns do not change over time

A

true

45
Q

with pulsatile flow, blood flow speed/pressure changes. this depends on (3)

A

impedence
intertia
compliance

46
Q

what are two things observed in compliant vessels with pulsatile flow

A

windkessel effect

flow reversal

47
Q

what is the windkessel effect

A

observed in compliant vessels where
systole = vessel expands and volume increases
distole = pressure decreases, compliant vessel contracts producing extended flow without driving pressure from the heart

48
Q

true or false - blood stops flowing during diastole

A

false

49
Q

what causes flow reversal and where is it seen

A

reversal of flow because decreased pressure and vessel contraction without valves to prevent back flow.
Not seen in the aorta because of valves

50
Q

what is the continuity rule

A

the volumetric flow rate is constant

51
Q

the continuity rule only applies under what conditions

A

a short segment, usually a stenosis or narrowing of lumen

52
Q

FORMULA for volumetric flow rate (continuity rule)

A

Q= velocity X area

53
Q

what happens if you decrease the area x2

A

speed increases X2 to maintain constant flow

54
Q

how does poiseuilles law contradict the continuity rule

A
  • poiseuille’s law suggests that flow speed decreases with smaller diameters
  • continuity rule suggests flow speed increases with smaller diameters

two situations are different because poiseuilles law = entire vessel, continuity rule is the diameter of a short portion (stenosis)

55
Q

If the AREA of a stenosis is 1/2 the distal vessel what happens to flow speed?

A

flow speed doubles

56
Q

if the DIAMETER of a stenosis is 1/2 the distal vessel what happens to flow speed?

A

flow speed quadrouples

57
Q

When does flow rate and distal pressure drop significantly with a stenosis?

A

beyond a diameter reduction of 50% (area reduction 75%)

58
Q

if you hear a bruit sound what has likely happened?

A

stenosis due to turbulence distal to stenosis

59
Q

velocity at a stenosis can tell us what

A

how much it’s stenosed

60
Q

what is the Bernoulli effect

A

a decrease in pressure in regions of high flow speed (velocity and pressure are inversely related)
therefore low pressure at the stenosis because high velocity

61
Q

what are the conditions of an aneurysm?

A

there is a decrease in speed at the widening, causing increased pressure
