The arterioles (small arteries) leading to organ constrict in order to decrease flow to the organ. To down organ, blood is reduced naturally to 1.00% of its original value. By what factor do the radii of the arterioles constrict?
When physicians diagnose arterial blockages, they quote reduction flow rate. If the flow rate an artery has been reduced to 10.0% of its normal value by a blood clot and be average pressure difference has increased by 20.0%, by what factor has the clot reduced the radius of the artery?
Suppose a blood vessel's radius is decreased to 90.0% of its original value by plague deposits and the body compensates by increasing pressure difference along the vessel to keep the flow rate constant. By what factor must pressure difference increase? (b) If turbulence is created by the obstruction, what additional effect would it have on the flow rate?
(a) Convert normal blood pressure readings of 120 over 80 mm Hg to newtons per meter squared using be relationship for pressure due to the weight of a fluid (p=hg) rater a conversion factor. (b) Explain why be blood pressure of an infant would likely be smaller than that of an adult. Specifically, consider the smaller height to which blood mast be pumped.
The heart of a resting adult pumps blood at a rate of 5.00 L/min. (a) Convert this to cm3/s. (b) What is this rate m3/s?
During a marathon race, a runner's blood flow increases to 10.0 times her resting rate. Her blood's viscosity dropped to 95.0% of its normal value, and the blood pressure difference across the circulatory system has increased by 50.0%. By what factor bas be average radii of her blood vessels increased?
(a) Verify that a 19.0% decrease in laminar flow through a tube is caused by a 5.00% decrease in radius, assuming that all other factors remain constant. (b) What increase in flow is obtained from a 5.00% increase in radius, again assuming all other factors remain constant?
The human circulation system has approximately 1109 vessels. Each vessel has a diameter of about 8m . Assuming cardiac output is 5 L/min, determine the average velocity of blood flow through each capillary vessel.
In an immersion measurement of a woman's density, she is found to have a mass of 62.0 kg in air an apparent mass of 0.0850 kg completely submerged with lungs empty. (a) What of water does she displace? (b) What is her volume? (c) Calculate her density. (d) If her lung capacity is 1.7S L, is she able to that without treading water with her lungs filled air?
Does atmospheric pressure add to the gas pressure in a rigid tank? In a toy balloon? When, in general, does atmospheric pressure not affect the total pressure in a fluid?
Prove the sped of an incompressible fluid through a constriction, such as a Venturi tube, increases by a factor equal to the square of the factor by which the diameter decreases. (The converse applies for flow out of a constriction into a larger-diameter region.)
A glucose solution being administered with an IV has a flow rate of 4.00 cm3/min. What will the new flow rate be if the glucose is replaced by whole blood having the same density but a viscosity 2.50 times that of glucose? All other factors remain constant.
