Volume of blood moving through a vessel in a specific time is known as _______. |
Flow. Volume/time |
|
Speed and direction (towards or away from the transducer) is k own as ________. |
Velocity - distance/ time |
|
Velocity is always measured in these types of studies. |
Arterial |
|
Type of flow in : Veins: Arteries: Capillaries: |
Veins: phasic Arteries: pulsatile Capillaries: steady |
|
What type of flow is seen in the aortic arch? |
Plug flow |
|
This type of flow is chaotic and disorganized. It occurs when blood flows from a smaller lumen to a larger lumen. |
Turbulent flow. It is normally seen in the carotid bulb, otherwise it oftentimes indicates a pathology. |
|
A Reynolds number less than 1500 indicates _______ flow and a number over 2000 indicates _______ flow. |
Laminar; turbulent |
|
Flow= ____________ X ____________ |
Velocity times area |
|
Flow and velocity are __________ related. |
Directly |
|
Velocity and area are ______ related. |
Inversely |
|
_________ causes a reduction in flow from the lower extremities, ________ causes an increase. |
Inhalation; exhalation |
|
What type of blood flow is seen at the proximal aorta? |
Plug flow |
|
Velocity is highest _______ in parabolic flow. |
In the center |
|
With energy gradient, blood flows from areas of _______ energy to areas of _______ energy |
Higher; lower |
|
Blood energy (increases/decreases) the further it travels. |
Decreases |
|
What type of energy is associated with moving objects? |
Kinetic |
|
What is the amount of kinetic energy determined by? |
Mass of the object and speed at which it moves |
|
What are the two types of potential energy? |
Pressure and gravitational |
|
When the heart contracts it is known as ________, and when it relaxes it is known as ________. |
Systole; diastole |
|
This type of blood flow is typically seen with an aneurysm or downstream from a stenosis. |
Turbulent flow |
|
You can hear a _______ but feel a _______. |
Murmur; thrill |
|
Is the mass of an object increases, kinetic energy ( increases/ decreases) |
Increases |
|
As pressure energy increases, blood flow ( increases/ decreases). |
Increases |
|
When the heart fails, pressure in the bloodstream (increases/decreases). |
Decreases |
|
What type of energy is associated with elevation? |
Gravitational |
|
True or false: The greater the elevation of an object the greater the gravitational energy. |
True |
|
What are the types of energy loss associated with circulating blood? |
Viscous, frictional, inertial |
|
Viscosity is measured in units of ______. |
Poise |
|
A greater amount of energy will be lost with fluid that has a ____ viscosity. |
Higher |
|
The tendency of a fluid to resist change is known as _______. |
Inertia |
|
Velocity (increases/ decreases) at a stenosis. |
Increases. |
|
Pressure (increases/decreases) as blood approaches a stenosis. |
Increases |
|
This type of waveform occurs after a stenosis. |
Dampened or tardus parvus. |
|
True or false: Biphasic flow is not considered normal in elderly patients. |
False. It is normal |
|
In relation to Poiseuilles Law, the factor that will have the greatest impact on flow is the _______. |
Radius- it is to the fourth power |
|
A stenosis of _____% or greater is considered hemodynamically significant. |
60% |
|
The principle of conservation of energy is known as ___________ principle. |
Bernoulli's principle |
|
What is the formula for pressure gradient? |
Flow X resistance |
|
Veins normally have a (high/low) internal pressure. |
Low |
|
How are veins normally measured? |
Inner to inner |
|
Arteries have (thick/thin) walls. |
Thick |
|
When do diastolic notches occur? |
When an artery springs back to its resting size. A small forward surge creates the notch. |
|
Pressure across vein walls is known as _________ pressure. |
Transmural |
|
If a patient is standing, the hydrostatic pressure at the heart equals _______. |
