Study Notes
Blood Vessels and Hemodynamics Overview
- The aorta has a small area but carries all systemic blood, with increasing relative area and blood volume as it bifurcates into arteries.
- Arterioles, with the largest cross-sectional area on the arteriole side, are considered resistance vessels and have the ability to alter their diameter.
- Capillaries have the smallest diameter but represent the largest cross-sectional area, facilitating exchange of nutrients, solutes, and water.
- Veins are capacitance vessels with the largest blood volume, containing unstressed blood under low pressure.
- Hemodynamics describes the relationship between blood pressure, flow, and resistance, with velocity of blood flow influenced by vessel diameter and cross-sectional area.
- Total blood flow at each level within the vascular tree is equal to the cardiac output, with the highest velocity in the aorta and lowest in the capillaries.
- The low velocity of blood flow in capillaries is advantageous for the exchange of nutrients, solutes, and water across the capillary walls.
- Blood flow through a vessel is determined by the pressure difference and the resistance of the vessel, analogous to current, voltage, and resistance in electrical circuits.
- The magnitude of blood flow is directly proportional to the pressure difference and inversely proportional to resistance.
- Resistance to flow is directly proportional to blood viscosity and vessel length, and inversely proportional to the fourth power of the vessel radius.
- Series resistance in a given organ is equal to the sum of individual resistances, with the greatest resistance found within the arterioles.
- Parallel resistance in the distribution of blood among major arteries branching off the aorta is less than any individual resistance.
