    Study Notes

    The Principle of Continuity

    • The principle of continuity states flow in equals flow out.

    • Formula for continuity: Q = A * v (Q = flow, A = area, v = velocity)

    • As the area decreases, the velocity of the fluid increases.

    Blood Flow and The Heart

    • The total cross-sectional area increase with distance from the heart.

    • The velocity of blood flow decreases as the total cross-sectional area increases after passing the capillaries.

    • The total cross-sectional area increases due to branching of vessels.

    • This allows for efficient diffusion of oxygen and other nutrients in the capillaries.

    Ohms Law

    • The driving force for flow in the circulatory system is the pressure difference between the arteries and veins.

    • Resistance in the circulatory system is influenced by the viscosity of the blood, the length of the vessels, and the radius of the blood vessels.

    • The formula for resistance in a tube is R = 8ηl/πr⁴.

    Poiseuille's Law

    • The flow rate of fluid is proportional to the fourth power of the radius of the tube.

    • This means as the radius of a vessel is halved, the flow rate decreases to 1/16 of the original flow rate.

    • Larger vessels are required for efficient delivery of blood.

    • Smaller vessels are required for efficient diffusion and exchange of oxygen and nutrients.

    Blood Flow and Pressure

    • The pressure gradient between the arteries and veins is generated by the heart.

    • This pressure gradient drives blood flow through the circulatory system.

    Circulatory Systems

    • Circulatory systems have three important components: a pump, tubes or channels, and a circulating fluid.

    Blood Flow in Series and Parallel

    • A series configuration restricts flow in one part of the circuit.

    • A parallel configuration allows for independent regulation of flow.

    • The heart can reduce its work output by having a parallel arrangement of blood vessels.

    • The heart can control the flow to different organs by selectively constricting or dilating arterioles.
