13. Cardiovascular physiology

Frontiers of Biomedical Engineering (BENG 100) Professor Saltzman discusses the biophysics of the circulatory system. He begins by describing the anatomy of different types of blood vessels, and notes the relationship between the pressure difference (AP) as the driving force for fluid flow (Q) in a tube (blood vessel), with some resistance R (AP = RQ). R can be calculated when the pipe size (L, R) and viscosity (μ) are known: R = 8μL/πr4. Subsequently, Professor Saltzman tracesthe flow of blood through the circulatory system and explains how the body can regulate blood flow to certain areas of the body. Finally, it describes the heart and its function as a generator of pressure in the system. comprehensive training material on the site are Open Yale Courses Web: open.yale.edu This course has been taken in the spring of 2008.
