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.
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.
Part A: Elastic recoil in arteries and veins. Suspend a ring of artery from a hook on a clamp stand. Use a metre rule to record the length of the ring once the mass carrier has been attached to the free end of the ring. Attach a 10 g mass (see Figure 1) and record the length of the ring after the mass is added.
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.
2 Μαΐ 2005 · PDF/EPUB. Abstract. Early cardiovascular disease can be identified in asymptomatic individuals by noninvasive evaluation of functional and structural abnormalities of the vasculature and heart. These abnomalities are usually a consequence of endothelial dysfunction.
21 Ιουν 2024 · The elastic recoil of the vascular wall helps to maintain the pressure gradient that drives the blood through the arterial system. An elastic artery is also known as a conducting artery, because the large diameter of the lumen gives it a low resistance and enables it to accept a large volume of blood from the heart which is conducted to smaller ...
