Question
Chapter 15, Problem 34RQ
a.
Summary Introduction
To determine: The resting pulse of an individual to believe that circulation of blood occurs in the closed loop.
Introduction: The wall of the blood vessels experience pressure by the flowing blood. This particular pressure is referred to as blood pressure.
b.
Summary Introduction
To determine: The time required by the heart of an individual to pump its weight in the blood by assuming that heart pumps 70 ml per beat at rest.
Introduction: When blood is pumped by the heart into the aorta, the arterial walls results in wave-like formation. It occurs due to the beating of the heart in the rhythm with the relaxation and contraction of ventricles.

Capillary filtration plays a vital role in the exchange of fluids between the circulatory system and tissues
A. Consider a scenario where the hydrostatic pressure in the capillary bed is 40 mmHg, the osmotic pressure in the capillary is 25 mmHg, and the interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure is 5 mmHg. Calculate the net filtration pressure in this situation.
B. Determine the direction of fluid movement across the capillary wall
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.

(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%

- An electromagnetic flowmeter can measure the speed of blood flow through an artery during surgery. When the meter is turned on, positively- and negatively-charged ions in the blood tend to accumulate near opposite walls of the artery (as shown in the diagram below).

- In resting state: For a heart that would have a left ventricle of 130 mL of end diastolic volume (EDV) and 60 mL of end systolic volume (ESV) and a heart rate 60 bpm. A. Calculate the output your pump should provide to the aortic arch. (in units of L/min) B. In moderate activity state: If the heart rate is expected to increase by 15% Calculate the output your pump should provide to the aortic arch hibernation levels so they can go back to sleep. A mitochondria-rich tissue called "brown fat" is responsible for this heat-generation.arrow_forwardBlood pressure is usually given as the ratio of the maximum pressure (systolic pressure) to the minimum pressure (diastolic pressure). For example a typical value for this ratio for a human would be 120/70, where the pressures are in mm Hg (millimeters of mercury, SG = 13.6). What would these pressures be in kPa (kilo Pascals)?: (a) systolic pressure (kPa), (b) diastolic pressure (kPa).arrow_forwardAs blood flows from the aorta to the arteries, arterioles, and capillaries and through the venous circulation, it encounters various resistances to flow, which results in pressure drops.
