Concept Video Notes
Use the space below to jot down key points for each concept video. Attempt to
make connections between the concepts explained in these videos and others
already covered in the course. Are you unsure about any of the content? After
you take notes on each video, see if you can answer the questions posed with
each video.
Video Notes
Key Questions
1) What are the ways in which an imbalance in tissues’ oxygen supply and demand can lead to anaerobic metabolism?
Video Notes
Key Questions
1) What is the relationship between oxygen content of blood, cardiac output, and oxygen delivery?
Physiology
Supply and Demand
2) How would you write the Ohm’s Law analogy for the cardiovascular system in terms of cardiac output, systemic vascular
resistance (SVR), and driving pressure (ΔP)?
3) What are the physiological parameters that allow you to calculate driving pressure for the systemic vascular circulation?
Video Notes
Key Questions
1) What is the relative importance in the body of changes in driving pressure versus changes in resistance in determining flow?
2) What is the effect on blood flow of a partial blockage in a vessel supplying blood and oxygen to an organ?
3) How would you describe the factors that make blood flow to the heart muscle different than blood flow to skeletal muscle?
