This activity has two parts. In part A students stretch blood vessels (a piece of artery and a piece of vein) and measure how elastic they are. In part B they look at the histology of the blood vessels using a microscope.
Elastic recoil in arteries and veins. Take rings of artery and vein tissue. Load and unload with 10 g masses and hence assess differences in elasticity. Consider how the elastic properties suit the different functions of artery and vein in the circulatory system.
26 Δεκ 2019 · Figure 1. Top, the typical nonlinear relation between luminal pressure and area in large elastic arteries, explained by the progressive shift in load bearing from elastin to collagen fibers. Data translate into distensibility and pulse wave velocity (PWV) with the use of the Bramwell-Hill relation.
Elastic arteries include the largest arteries in the body, those closest to the heart, and give rise to the smaller muscular arteries. The pulmonary arteries, the aorta, and its branches together comprise the body’s system of elastic arteries.
The elastic properties of the arteries are essential for blood flow. The pressure in the arteries increases and arterial walls stretch when the blood is pumped out of the heart. When the aortic valve shuts, the pressure in the arteries drops and the arterial walls relax to maintain the blood flow.
2 Μαΐ 2005 · A panel of 10 tests, including small and large artery elasticity, has been used as the basis for a screening system that provides a score of 0 to 20 as a guide to the severity of disease. Using that Rasmussen score allows for stratification of patients into low, intermediate, or high risk for progression to cardiovascular morbid events.
Activity 1.6 Investigating arteries and veins Student A1.06S Questions Q1 How do the results for artery and vein compare when looking at: a % change in length on loading? b return to the original length on unloading? Q2 What are the main properties of: a elastic fibres b collagen?
