    The document discusses hemodynamics and properties of blood vessels and blood flow. It addresses Poiseuille's Law which defines physical properties that determine hemodynamics. Arterial compliance is related to stroke volume and pulse pressure, and affects the arterial pulse wave and cardiac work. The document defines systolic, diastolic, pulse pressure and how they are measured. It also discusses the microcirculation and how pulsatile blood flow in arteries is converted to steady flow. Starling's hypothesis is explained in terms of hydrostatic and osmotic factors for capillary function. Laminar versus turbulent flow is differentiated. Arterial pressures including systolic, diastolic, pulse pressure, stroke volume, mean arterial

    What physical properties of blood vessels and blood determine hemodynamics, and how are
    they defined by Poiseuille’s Law?
    How is arterial compliance related to stroke volume and pulse pressure? How does arterial
    compliance affect the arterial pulse wave and cardiac work?
    What are mean, systolic, diastolic, and pulse pressure, and how are they measured?
    What vessels constitute the microcirculation? How is pulsatile blood flow in large arteries
    converted into steady flow in the microcirculation?
    What are the hydrostatic and osmotic factors that underlie Starling’s hypothesis for capillary
    function?
    Differentiate laminar vs turbulent flow?
    Describe the following arterial pressures:

    Description
    Systolic Pressure
    Diastolic Pressure
    Pulse Pressure
    Stroke Volume
    Mean Arterial Pressure
    Central Venous Pressure
    Pulmonary Capillary Wedge Pressure
