During vasconstriction, there is a decrease in the diameter of the arteriole. So how do the following parameters change.
And how to come about with these logically. I suppose we can not use Bernoulli’s because the system is actually changing (tube is narrowing) and Poisueille’s, the net resistance is changing. Please clarify what is to be used. There was also a mention that Bernoulli’s can’t be used because this is a non ideal condition. But i guess we can definitely include a term for dissipative loss and apply Bernoulli’s too as in the Bernoulli’s - Poisueille’s equation.
Desperate for a clarification
- Pressure on the walls
- Pressure drop across
- Volume Flow rate
- Velocity of blood flow
- Systemic blood pressure
- Resistance to flow
