Question | Answer |
---|---|
flow | the movement of a fluid from one location to another |
steady flow | fluid that moves at one constant speed of velocity |
pulsatile flow | fluid moving with a variable velocity, undergoing acceleration and deceleration |
phasic flow | fluid that moves with a variable velocity |
overall picture | energy is neither created nor destroyed. the total energy remains constant. energy is simply converted from one form to another |
homodynamics of blood flow | understanding of normal and abnormal hemosynamica in order to perform and interpret doppler flow studies *flow *speed |
3 factors which contribute to the overall resistance of blood flow | length of vessel, diameter of radius of the vessel, and viscosity of the fluid in the vessel |
