Why would blood vessel radius have a larger effect on the body than vessel length?
A blood vessel's radius has a larger effect on the body than the vessels length because more blood can flow through a larger blood vessel. A change in the radius will have more of a affect.
What is the affect on blood flow on the radius vessels?
The relationship between blood flow through a vessel and the radius of the vessel can be expressed as BF=1/pi r4 (where pi is equal to 3.14.....). So a change in the radius of a vessel has a large effect on the blood flow through the vessel.
What is the blood vessel that supplies blood to the radius bone and radial nerve?
The radial artery
What blood vessel supply blood to the Radius bone and radial nerve?
Radial Artery
Why is blood vessel radius more likely to change than blood vessel length?
Radius. Length only changes with weight loss, gain or while one is growing. (from infancy to adult)
How does viscosity affect peripheral resistance?
If you increase the total peripheral resistance then the arterial blood pressure will increase.
When happens when the diameter of the blood vessel decreases?
Blood pressure increases if the diameter of the blood vessel decreases.
What is Vasolidation?
increase in the diameter of blood vessel. it increases the blood flow
What are the factors affecting peripheral resistance which influence BP?
There are three factors that increase peripheral resistance. These factors include autonomic activity, pharmacologic agents, and blood viscosity. Each factor increases the constriction of arteries, which in turn causes peripheral resistance.
What is the effect that radius changes have on the laminar flow of a fluid?
Laminar flow is the free-flowing blood in the middle of the vessel. Therefore, larger the radius of vessel, more the laminar flow. Smaller the radius of vessel, lesss the laminar flow. Laminar flow is directly reltated to the radius of a vessel.
When is hot your blood vessel do what to increase blood flow and release heat?
Expand
What Two major factors affecting blood flow rates?
They include the radius of the blood vessel, the length of the system, and the viscosity of the blood.
