Hemodynamics Problem Set

Question 1

Go through all of the hemodynamics problems

Answer 1

-

Question 2

Ptotal = Constant

Answer 2

Pstatic + Pdynamic = (Plateral + ρgh) + (1⁄2ρv2) = Constant

Question 3

The dynamic pressure is normally _______.

Answer 3

The dynamic pressure is normally negligible

Question 4

Discuss the surface area differences of the vessels of the circulatory system

Answer 4

Capillaries have greatest surface & cross sectional area so: Q = AV, since Q is constant, their velocity is slow!

capillaries>arterioles>arteries

capillaries>venules>veins

Note that venous vessels have greater diameter; so

capillaries>arterioles>venules> veins> arteries

Question 5
