d Veins
LEARNING OUTCOMES
1.
Differentiate the anatomy/physiology of
the arterial system and venous system
2.
Explain the distinct layers that compose
the blood vessel wall
3.
State the general path of blood through the
systemic circulation
4.
Describe the function of the venous valve
system
5.
Discuss how blood moves through the
venous system
6.
Compare the characteristics and functions
of cells that compose the cellular
component of blood
7.
Explain the different constituents of the
plasma component and describe their
function
8.
Compare the different types of white
blood cells
9.
Interpret various characteristics of blood
and how they play a role in rheology
10.
Define the relationship between pressure,
flow, and resistance in the arterial system
11.
Calculate the volumetric flow rate using
the Hagen-Poiseuille formulation
12.
Develop a relationship between the
pressure, the flow, and the resistance in
the venous system
13.
Formulate relationships for the volumetric
flow rate of blood within veins
14.
Discuss wave propagation in the arterial
circulation
15.
Compare the wave speed within the
arterial vessel wall with different
assumptions
16.
Interpret the cause of pressure changes at
bifurcations
17.
Calculate the optimal design for
bifurcations
18.
Illustrate flow separation and how flows
skew at bifurcations
19.
Use the pressure gradient to determine the
likelihood for flow separation
20.
Model flow through blood vessels using a
taper or steps
21.
Identify and express the critical
components within the Navier-Stokes
equations for a tapered blood vessel
22.
Analyze pulsatile blood flow conditions
23.
Explain the mathematical principle behind
turbulent flows
24.
