WVSOM -- Hemodynamic principles

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Arteries -- large to small   Aorta > Muscular Conduit Artery > Arteriole > Capillary  
🗑
Veins -- to large   venule < vein < vena cava  
🗑
Systolic   contraction  
🗑
diastolic   rest  
🗑
mean pressure   diastolic + 1/3(systolic-diastolic)  
🗑
Compliance   ability to stretch and distend with pressure  
🗑
Transmural pressure   difference between the pressure inside teh vessel and the pressure outside the vessel. net pressure is pushing against the wall  
🗑
capacitance   volume contained for a specific pressure  
🗑
Blood flow to organs altered by controlling vascular smooth muscle tone by   local and systemic  
🗑
Systemic ways to control smooth muscle tone   SNS and Hormones  
🗑
Local ways to control vascular smooth muscle tone   metabolic factors and paracrine agents  
🗑
Blood volume is distributed roughly in accordance with ___________.   Metabolic rate  
🗑
How does gravity affect blood pressure   Blood pressure increases the farther it moves away from the heart  
🗑
Majority of blood is held in the   systemic veins  
🗑
Pressure   force per unit area  
🗑
flow   volume transferred per unit time  
🗑
resistance   opposition to flow  
🗑
Relationship of blood flow to the driving pressure and vascular resistance   blood flow is proportional to the pressure difference and inversely proportional to resistance  
🗑
Cardiac Output   Q = (p1-p2)/r  
🗑
Resistance in Series   R1+ R2 + R3 = Rtotal  
🗑
Resistance in Parallel   1/R + 1/R + 1/R = 1/Rtotal  
🗑
Main site of resistance in the systemic circulation   Arterioles  
🗑
Bernoulli Principle   increase in velocity occurs simutaneoulsy with the decrease in pressure  
🗑
Hematocrit's effect on viscocity   increases it  
🗑
Laminar blood flow   smooth parallel streamlines that slip past each other  
🗑
Shear stress   caused by velocity thru the vessel Generated by the axial streaming of blood cells pushing and shearing them orienting them in one direction  
🗑
Shear stress effect on vascular wall   can activate endothelial factors (NO). Lots of stress can cause damage on the vessel wall and cause an aneurysm  
🗑
Reynolds Number   > 2300 causes turbulence  
🗑
Turbulence   promoted by high velocity, vessel diameter and blood viscosity  
🗑
Vessel with greatest compliance   Veins  
🗑
why is mean pressure close to diastolic pressure?   heart spends longer relaxed than it does in contraction  
🗑
Right side of heart pumps to   Lungs  
🗑
Left side of heart pumps to   systemic circulation  
🗑
2 organs that receive more blood flow than is required to satisfy metabolic demands   skin and kidneys  
🗑
Blood Flow is directly proportional to   pressure gradient  
🗑
Blow flow is inversely proportional to   vascular resistance  
🗑
Why are capallaries low in overall resistance   they are numerous and arranged in parallel  
🗑
Bernoulli Principle and PE to KE   blood potential energy to kinetic energy occurs when cross-sectional area decreases.  
🗑
Highest blood velocity in laminar blood flow   center of the vessel  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
