II Problem Set 4 – Principles of Pressure, Flow, and Resistance in Vascular Systems Total 12 marks Name: Use the diagram below of the circulation of a vertebrate to answer the following questions The units of resistance are kPamt min. Assume that all resistance is within the individual vascular beds (head, gas exchanger, muscle, etc.) with no resistance in the major arteries and major veins connecting them. Point B Point A Gut 05 Gas Exchanger R 0.25 Muscle Kidney 3 R=1 Liver R-15 R-0.5 Heart Point Pressure 0.5 kPa 1) If cardiac output is 18 ml min., what are the pressures (in kPa) at Point A, B, and C? (6 marks) 2) With a cardiac output of 18 ml min, what is the blood flow through (3 marks) a. the head? b. the gas exchanger? c the muscle? d. the gut? e. the liver? f. the kidney? 3) What kind of animal is this? Justify your answer, including reasons why it cannot be a different type of animal. (3 marks)
