Arterial Blood Flow and Peripheral Resistance Quiz

Play an AI-generated podcast conversation about this lesson

Which of the following factors affects resistance to blood flow?

Arterial pressure

Cardiac output

Total peripheral resistance (correct)

All of the above

What is the equation for arterial pressure according to Guyton?

Arterial pressure = cardiac output + total peripheral resistance

Arterial pressure = total peripheral resistance / cardiac output

Arterial pressure = cardiac output x total peripheral resistance (correct)

Arterial pressure = cardiac output / total peripheral resistance

What is the equation for Reynolds number (Re)?

Re = (velocity of flow) / (radius of vessel) x viscosity

Re = (velocity of flow) + (radius of vessel) x viscosity

Re = (velocity of flow) x (radius of vessel) / viscosity (correct)

Re = (velocity of flow) / (radius of vessel) / viscosity
