Blood flow and tissue perfusion are NOT the same thing. An increase in blood flow does not always mean that there is a parallel increase in tissue perfusion. While blood flow is generally understood as an increase in the total amount of blood flowing into an anatomic structure or region, tissue perfusion is the amount of blood that actually flow through the capillaries of the vascular bed of that structure or region. The important thing to remember is that nutrients and oxygen are delivered to the cells via the capillaries.

The circulation of blood within an organ or tissue in adequate amounts to meet the cells' current needs is?
Perfusion
What is perfusion?
PERFUSION is (1) to overspread with color, moisture, etc., (2) to diffuse through or over something, (3) to pass fluid through blood vessels or the lymphatic system to an organ or tissue.Hey, I had to look this up in a dictionary so that u wouldn't have to. Ya better love me for this. Can I help it that I'm so nerdy and smart? :)

What is the normal value of coronary perfusion pressure?
15-70
What does normal-sized spleen wth heterogeneous perfusion mean?
Heterogeneous means not consistent all the way through, and perfusion is talking about blood supply (actually its talking about oxygen supply, but in reality we see blood supply, but they are roughly the same since the blood carries the oxygen). So a spleen with heterogeneous perfusion means that some parts are getting more blood (oxygen) than other parts.
Which of the choices below does not involve tissue perfusion?
Tissue perfusion is the amount of blood that the tissues receive during circulation. When a person has decreased tissue perfusion, the tissues are receiving inadequate blood supply.
The circulation of blood within an organ or tissue in adequate amounts to meet the cells' current needs is?
Perfusion
What does perfusion refer to in physiology?
In reference to physiology perfusion is the process of blood being delivered to a capillary bed in the biological tissue. Normal levels of perfusion can be tested by looking at skin color or skin temperature.
What is the difference between perfusion and flow?
Flow is the amount of blood flowing through an organ, tissue or vessel at a given time. Perfusion is the flow per given volume or mass of tissue. Thus a large organ could have greater flow but less perfusion then a small one such as an ovary because the ovary receives much more blood per gram of tissue.
