ursing, nursing question patient, lying horizontally on a bed, is suffering from high cholesterol, causing a narrowing in some parts of his arteries. In an unaffected area, before a narrowing, his blood speed is 0.128 m/s. The obstructed area reduces the cross-section of the artery to 38.6% of the unobstructed area. What is the difference in blood pressures between the normal and obstructed s

Several years ago the deaths of several airline travelers led to warnings about economy-class syndrome. The idea is that economy-class passengers dont have as much leg room as passengers in more expensive seats, so they are more likely to sit essentially motionless for long periods on flightsconditions that may allow blood to pool and clots to form in the legs. This condition is called deep-vein thrombosis, or DVT. Given what you know about blood flow in the veins, explain why periodically getting up and moving around in the planes cabin during a long flight may lower the risk that a clot will form.
Use the word bank below to complete the following statements. (Terms can be used more than once.) Perfusion flow decrease increase stay the same is the amount of blood moving through an organ, tissue, or blood vessel in a given time (ml/min) is the flow per given volume of tissue (ml/min/g) If you increase the diameter of a vessel, the flow through that vessel will If you increase the length of the vessel, the resistance of that vessel will and the flow will If you reduce the viscosity of blood, blood flow will
A normal patient has an ECG monitor attached to him/her as he/she starts exercises at the gym. The ECG recording shows a significant increase in heart rate to 220 beats/min after 20 minutes of strenuous exercise. What are the consequences and why? To answer this, be sure to address blood flow through the heart and what is happening to the blood flow, electrical impulses and pressures during each phase of the ECG (p,q,r,s,t).
The main artery whose cross-sectional area is (1 cm) branches into 5 smaller arteries. Each of these arteries has an average cross-sectional area of (0.4 cm2). By what factor will the rate of blood flow decrease when it passes through those branches? arterial
Determine the rhythm, rate and mean electrical axis of the ECG tracing. Estimate the axis. Show your solution.
A 67-year-old-man is in the operating room undergoing a hip replacement. The procedure is going along uneventfully, and there is no indication of acute blood loss. Suddenly, the patient develops supraventricular tachycardia. Intravenous injection is administered and within 15 s, the electrocardiogram shows normal sinus rhythm. What is the most likely drug responsible for this normalization of the electrocardiogram? Select one: O ignocaine Quinidine Esmolol Verapamil Adenosine
Clinical Corner: In speaking with his cardiologist, a high risk individual with angina pectoris during exercise was informed that his coronary blood flow is reduced. The most important variable that determines resistance to blood flow in his blood vessels is most likely: increased viscosity of blood from not exercising. the length of the blood vessel as he is a short individual. the diameter of the vessel due to coronary artery disease. increase blood pressure due to hypertension.
The lowest velocity of blood flow occurs in the capillaries. True As blood flows from the aorta through the other vessels, blood pressure increases. True Blood flow is at its highest velocity in the venae cavae. True Blood flows from an area of low pressure to an area of high pressure. False Blood flowing from one aorta into billions of capillaries decreases the velocity and pressure of the blood flow. True Blood flow velocity is inversely related to cross-sectional area. True
Aspirin is cardioprotective for its anti-thrombotic properties, which means that it prevents platelets from coagulating to make a clot. In cardiovascular practice, aspirin is prescribed to help prevent heart attacks and strokes. Which of the following is true?
