Jul 30, 2022 · Blood flow is the movement of blood through a vessel, tissue, or organ. The slowing or blocking of blood flow is called resistance. Blood pressure is the force that blood exerts upon the walls of the blood vessels or chambers of the heart.

Feb 24, 2023 · Cardiac output is the measurement of blood flow from the heart through the ventricles, and is usually measured in liters per minute. Any factor that causes cardiac output to increase, by elevating heart rate or stroke volume or both, will elevate blood pressure and promote blood flow.

Because flowing blood has mass and velocity, it has kinetic energy (KE). This KE is proportionate to the mean velocity squared (V 2; from KE = ½ mV 2). As the blood flows inside a vessel, pressure is exerted laterally against the walls of the vessel; this pressure represents the potential or pressure energy (PE).
Some of the most fascinating fluid flow phenomena within the human body involve fluids other than blood and a service other than transport- the lymphatic and pulmonary systems provide two striking examples. In this paper we outline the special fluid mechanics of these two systems.
Ventricular contraction ejects blood into the major arteries, resulting in flow from regions of higher pressure to regions of lower pressure, as blood encounters smaller arteries and arterioles, then capillaries, then the venules and veins of the venous system.

Oct 31, 2023 · Blood pressure is regulated in the body by changes to the diameters of blood vessels in response to changes in the cardiac output and stroke volume. Factors such as stress, nutrition, drugs, exercise, or disease can invoke changes in the diameters of the blood vessels, altering blood pressure.
