This is the equation for Ohm's law for fluids
- Q = ∆P / R
- Q flow
- P pressure
- R resistance
Volume of blood that goes through a region per minute

Blood flow
What is pulmonary arterial pressure?

25/8
Venous pressure in the right atrium and the big veins

Central venous pressure
This is the formula for Resistance:
- r = radius
- l = length
- n = viscosity
Combined resistance of all blood vessels

Total peripheral resistance
This is the equation for velocity
- Q = flow
- A = cross section
This is the normal pattern or way that blood flows
- laminar flow
- R < 2000
This is the pattern or way that too fast blood flows
- turbulent flow
- R > 2000
What do you call a dilated blood vessel, in a bad way haha?

aneurysm
This is the equation for Tension-Pressure relationship:
- P = pressure
- r = radius
- h = wall thickness
- If a vessel has an aneurism (dilation) then the tension will rise. Now if there's a sudden increase in pressure you can blow up this vessel. Ouch
Measuring velocity using ultrasound:
- Vs = speed of sound
- yeah whatever
Pressure-Tension relationship
- If a heart is dilated, more tension made to keep up the pressure
- Its bad for the heart
