Exam II Q's
Blood Hemodynamics & Lymph
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| define Blood presssure | force blood exerts on vessel walls |
| define blood flow | amount of blood flowing thru vessels per unit of time (ml per min.) |
| define resistance | produced as blood encounters friction and turbulence against the vessel and heart walls |
| how does R affect blood flow? | increased R decreased BF |
| what vessels produce the greatest R to BF? | arterioles |
| what does PR (peripheral resistance) mean? | greatest R is in arterioles (P=away ffrom heart) |
| formula for BP | BP= Flow X Resistance |
| explain BP formula | 1.increased F causes increased BP, decreased F causes decreased BP 2.increased R causes increased BP, decreased R causes decreased BP |
| how does a change in pressure affect flow if R does not change? | MABP rises |
| two main factors in BF | CO, BV |
| define CO | amount of blood ejected by left ventricle in one minute |
| define BV | total amount of blood in body |
| what causes blood to flow? | difference in pressure |
| how do changes in CO affect BF? | harder heart working greater flow+ pressure/ arterioles dialate |
| 3 factors in R | diameter vessel, viscosity blood, length vessel |
| define MABP | single measure (average) of arteriole BP |
| formula for PP | systolic BP -diastolic BP |
| formula for MABP | DP + PP/3 |
| define PP | difference in systolic & diastolic pressures |
| 3 factors in resistance | size of lumen, viscosity of blood, total vessel length |
| how do changes in vessel diameter affect flow | smaller diameter increases R |
