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.

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?arrow_forwardTake the density of blood to be ρ and the distance between the feet and the heart to be hH. Ignore the flow of blood. (a) Show that the difference in blood pressure between the feet and the heart is given by PF - PH = ρghH. (b) Take the density of blood to be 1.05 x 103 kg/m3 and the distance between the heart and the feet to be 1.20 m. Find the difference in blood pressure between these two points. This problem indicates that pumping blood from the extremities is very difficult for the heart. The veins in the legs have valves in them that open when blood is pumped toward the heart and close when blood flows away from the heart. Also, pumping action produced by physical activities such as walking and breathing assists the heart.arrow_forward
- 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?arrow_forwardAt a resting pulse rate of 79 beats per minute, the human heart typically pumps about 75 mL of blood per beat. Blood has a density of 1060kg/m^3. Circulating all of the blood in the body through the heart takes about 1 min for a person at rest. Approximately how much blood is in the body? volume of blood in the body: ? M^3arrow_forwardAn artificial kidney is a device that removes water and wastes from the blood. In one such device, i.e., the hollow fiber hemodialyzer, blood flows from an artery through the insides of a bundle of cellulose acetate fibers. Dialyzing fluid, which consists of water and various dissolved salts, flows on the outside of the fibers. Water and wastes-principally urea, creatinine, uric acid, and phosphate ions-pass through the fiber walls into the dialyzing fluid, and the purified blood is returned to a vein. At some time during the dialysis of a patient in kidney failure, the arterial and venous blood conditions are as follows: Flow rate (mL min-1) Urea concentration (mg mL-1) Arterial Blood-In 200 1.90 Venous Blood-Out 195 1.75 Calculate the rate at which water is being removed from the blood. Your answer should have units of mL/min.arrow_forward
- 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.
