Question | Answer |
What is the main factor in arterial hemodynamics? | Fluid energy gradient reflected as a pressure gradient |
What is the third component in a normal peripheral arterial waveform stand for? | Forward flow- Late diastole or rebounding in artery from elasticity |
Are viscosity and hematocrit directly or indirectly proportional? | Directly |
How does the density effect turbulence? | Increase density ----> Increase Turbulance |
