Chapter 11, Problem 31SAE
Summary Introduction
To review:
Two sets of exceptions to the rule that the arteries and veins carry deoxygenated and oxygenated form of blood, respectively.
Introduction:
The blood vessels are classified into arteries, veins, and the capillaries. They supply blood to the remotest corner of the body. In general, the arteries carry the oxygenated form of blood away from the heart and the veins supply the deoxygenated form of blood toward the heart.

Which of the following is the correct sequence of blood flow through pulmonary circulation?
Group of answer choices
Right atrium → right ventricle → pulmonary arteries → pulmonary capillaries (in lungs) → pulmonary veins → left atrium
Left atrium → left ventricle → pulmonary arteries → pulmonary capillaries (in lungs) → pulmonary veins → right atrium
Right atrium → right ventricle → pulmonary capillaries (in lungs) → pulmonary arteries → pulmonary veins → left atrium
Left atrium → left ventricle → pulmonary capillaries (in lungs) → pulmonary arteries → pulmonary veins → right atrium
Left atrium → left ventricle → pulmonary veins → pulmonary arteries → pulmonary capillaries (in lungs) → right atrium
Blood is pushed out of the heart through a large vessel, called the aorta. The aorta then divides into smaller and smaller blood vessels, eventually reaching vessels called capillaries. Capillaries are so small that oxygen and nutrients can diffuse across the vessel walls and into the tissues of the body, with CO2 and waste diffusing back into the blood.
Let's say that the cross-sectional area of the aorta is 1 cm2 = 100 mm2. The blood pumps through the aorta at 100 mm/s but only through the capillaries at 1 mm/s. If each capillary has a cross-sectional area of 20 mm2, how many capillaries must there be in the body?
Note: these numbers are not physiologically correct, but were chosen to make the math easier. The blood velocity through the aorta is closer to 300 mm/s. The capillaries have a total cross-sectional area of ~600,000 mm2 (6000 cm2), with a blood flow rate closer to 0.2 mm/s.

- Medical evidence shows that a small change in the radius of an artery can indicate a large change in blood flow. For example, if one artery has a radius only 5% larger than another, the blood flow rate is 1.22 times as large. Further information is given in the table below. Increase in radius Times greater bloodflow rate 5% 1.22 10% 1.46 15% 1.75 20% 2.07 (a) Use the average rate of change to estimate how many times greater the blood flow rate is in an artery that has a radius 8% larger than another. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)1.364 times greater(b) Explain why if the radius is increased by 8% and then we increase the radius of the new artery by 8% again, the total increase in the radius is 16.64%. x + 8% of xx + 8/100 X xx + 0.08x = 1.08x1.08x + 8% of (1.08x)1.08x + 8/100 X (1.08x)1.08x + 0.0864x = 0.1664x = 16.64% (c) Use parts (a) and (b) to answer the following question: How many times greater is the blood flow rate in an artery that is 16.64%…arrow_forwardFill in the table below by indicating the organ, region or vessel that the named vessel receives blood from, and the organ, region or vessel to which it delivers blood (see example for aorta and coronary arteries).

Explain what vitamin/s would be affected and how they should alter their dietary from normal recommendations.arrow_forwardThe Belgian anatomist and physician Andreas Vesalius, in his textbook entitled De Humani Corporis Fabrica (published in 1543), made which of the following claims (contradicting one of Galen’s claims)? blood in the right ventricle of the human heart does not receive blood directly from the right atrium blood in the left ventricle of the human heart does not receive blood directly from the left atrium blood in the right ventricle of the human heart does not pass directly into the left ventricle blood in the right atrium of the human heart does not pass directly into the right ventricle blood in the left atrium of the human heart does not pass directly into the left ventriclearrow_forwardBlood flows from the heart (specifically, the left ventricle) into the aorta to feed the rest of the body oxygen. As blood flow moves from the ascending aorta and downward to the abdominal aorta, some of the volume is directed through a branching network. As the blood reaches the pelvic region, there is a bifurcation, as shown in figure, into the left and right common iliac arteries. This bifurcation is symmetrical but the common iliac vessels are not the same diameter. Given that the kinematic viscosity of blood is 4 cSt (centistokes), the abdominal aorta’s diameter is 15 mm, the right common iliac artery’s diameter is 10 mm, and the left common iliac artery’s diameter is 8 mm, determine the mean flow rate through the right common iliac artery if the abdominal aorta’s mean velocity is 30 cm/s and the left common iliac artery’s mean velocity is 40 cm/s.arrow_forward
- In flowchart form, trace the pathway of the blood in the systemic circulation. (Example: Trace the flow of blood from the tongue to the right thigh. Note that the blood also passes the pulmonary circulation)arrow_forwardA higher level of hemoglobin in the blood increases the blood’s density. This is the basis for a simple test that can be used to see if a prospective blood donor has a high enough hemoglobin level to donate safely. A drop of blood is placed in a copper sulfate solution, and the time for the drop to sink to the bottom is measured. If this time is too long, the hemoglobin level is toolow. Explain how this test works.arrow_forwardWhich of the following sequences shows the correct pathway of blood from body to lungs? body-superior and inferior vena cava-right atrium-tricuspid valve-right ventricle-pulmonary-semilunar valve-pulmonary trunk-pulmonary arteries-lungs body-superior and inferior vena cava-left atrium-tricuspid valve-left ventricle-aortic semilunar valve-pulmonary trunk-pulmonary arteries-lungs body-superior and inferior vena cava-right atrium-bicuspid valve-right ventricle-pulmonary-semilunar valve-pulmonary trunk-pulmonary veins-lungs body-superior and inferior vena cava-left atrium-tricuspid valve-left ventricle-pulmonary semilunar valve- pulmonary trunk-pulmonary arteries-lungsarrow_forward
