The arterioles (small arteries) leading to an organ, constrict in order to decrease flow to the organ. To shut down an organ, blood flow is reduced naturally to 2.10% of its original value. By what factor did the radii of the arterioles constrict? Penguins do this when they stand on ice to reduce the blood flow to their feet.

(a) As blood passes through the capillary bed in an organ, the capillaries join to form venules (small veins). If the blood speed increases by a factor of 4.00 and the total cross-sectional area of the venules is 10.0 cm2, what is the total cross-sectional area of the capillaries feeding these venules? (b) How many capillaries are involved if their average diameter is 10.0 m?
Angioplasty is a technique in which arteries partially blocked with plaque are dilated to increase blood flow. By what factor must the radius of an artery be increased in order to increase blood flow by a factor of 10?
During a marathon race, a runner's blood flow increases to 10.0 times her resting rate. Her blood's viscosity has dropped to 95.0% of its normal value, and the blood pressure difference across the circulatory system has increased by 50.0%. By what factor has the average radii of her blood vessels increased?
The heart of a resting adult pumps blood at a rate of 5.00 L/min. (a) Convert this to cm3/s. (b) What is this rate in M3/s?
The human circulation system has approximately 1109 capillary vessels. Each vessel has a diameter of about 8 m. Assuming cardiac output is 5 L/min, determine the average velocity of blood flow through each capillary vessel.
The arterioles (small arteries) leading to organ constrict in order to decrease flow to the organ. To down organ, blood is reduced naturally to 1.00% of its original value. By what factor do the radii of the arterioles constrict?
If the pressure in the esophagus is -2.00 mm Hg while that in the stomach is +20.0 mm Hg, to what height could stomach fluid rise in the esophagus, assuming a density of 1.10 g/mL? (This movement will not occur if the muscle closing the lower end of the esophagus is working properly.)
A major artery with a cross-sectional area of 1.00 cm2 branches into 18 smaller arteries, each with an average cross-sectional area of 0.400cm2. By what factor is the average velocity of the blood reduced when it passes into these branches? 5/36 7/36 9/36 11/36 13/36
A medical technician is trying to determine what percentage of a patient's artery is blocked by plaque. To do this, she measures the blood pressure just before the region of blockage and finds that it is P₁, while in the region of blockage it is P2. Furthermore, she knows that blood flowing through the normal artery just before the point of blockage is traveling at v₁, and the density of this patient's blood is p. The patient is laying down so there are no differential effects due to gravity. a. Symbolically, what is the ratio of the artery radius at the blockage, r2, to the ratio of the artery radius at the blockage, r₁? (find r₂/r₁) b. Find the numerical value of r2/r1. P₁ = 1.20x104 Pa, P₂=1.15×104 Pa, v₁ =30.0 cm/s, p = 1060 kg/m³.
The blood speed in a normal segment of a horizontal artery is 0.180 m/s. An abnormal segment of the artery is narrowed down by an arteriosclerotic plaque to 1/4 of its normal cross-sectional area. What is the difference in blood pressure between the normal and constricted segments of the artery?
There are two carotid arteries that feed blood to the brain, one on each side of the neck and head. One patient’s carotid arteries are each 11.2 cm long and have an inside diameter of 5.2 mm. Near the middle of the left artery, however, is a 2.0-cmlong stenosis, a section of the artery with a smaller diameter of 3.4 mm. For the same blood flow rate, what is the ratio of thepressure drop along the patient’s left carotid artery to the drop along his right artery?
We’ve seen that fish can control their buoyancy through the use of a swim bladder, a gas-filled organ inside the body. You can assume that the gas pressure inside the swim bladder is roughly equal to the external water pressure. A fish swimming at a particular depth adjusts the volume of its swim bladder to give it neutral buoyancy. If the fish swims upward or downward, the changing water pressure causes the bladder to expand or contract. Consequently, the fish must adjust the quantity of gas to restore the original volume and thus reestablish neutral buoyancy. Consider a large, 7.0 kg striped bass with a volume of 7.0 L. When neutrally buoyant, 7.0% of the fish’s volume is taken up by the swim bladder. Assume a bodytemperature of 15°C.a. How many moles of air are in the swim bladder when the fish is at a depth of 80 ft?b. What will the volume of the swim bladder be if the fish ascends to a 50 ft depth without changing the quantity of gas?c. To return the swim bladder to its original…
