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 _______.

Zero

Hydrostatic pressure + ___________= measured blood pressure

Circulatory pressure

During inspiration the diaphragm pushes ( upwards/ downwards)

Downwards
