110
Q

_____ ______ is the measurement of friction blood encounters with vessel walls, generally in systemic circulation

A

Peripheral resistance

111
Q

What are the three important sources of resistance?

A

Blood viscosity, Blood vessel diameter, and vessel length

112
Q

______ _____ is the thickness or stickiness of blood due to formed elements and plasma proteins

A

Blood viscosity

113
Q

Viscosity

114
Q

Increased/Decreased viscosity equals increased resistance

A

Increased

115
Q

True or false, the shorter a blood vessel length, the greater the resistance to flow?

116
Q

What has the greatest influence on resistance?

A

Blood vessel diameter

117
Q

Frequent changes if _____ ______ _____ alters peripheral resistance

A

Blood vessel diameter

118
Q

While viscosity and blood vessel length are relatively constant, what is frequently shifting>

A

Blood vessel diameter

119
Q

Laminar flow is what?

A

120
Q

Resistance within blood vessels varies inversely with what?

A

The fourth power of vessel radius

121
Q

The fourth power of vessel radius means what?

A

If the radius of a BV increases, resistance decreases. (and vice versa)

Q

If the radius of a BV is doubled, per the fourth power of vessel radius, resistance drops to ?

A

1/16

123
Q

What are major determinants of peripheral resistance? Why?

A

Small-diameter arterioles. The radius changes frequently in contrast to larger arteries that do not change often
