Pressure Gradient in Systemic Circulation
• Blood flows down pressure gradients
Figure 14-2
Pressure Differences in Static and Flowing Fluids
• The pressure that blood exerts on the walls of
blood vessels generates blood pressure
Figure 14-3a
Pressure Differences in Static and Flowing Fluids
• Pressure falls over distance as energy is lost
due to friction
Figure 14-3b
Pressure Change
• Pressure created by contracting muscles is
transferred to blood
• Driving pressure for systemic flow is
created by the left ventricle
• If blood vessels constrict, blood pressure
increases
• If blood vessels dilate, blood pressure
decreases
• Volume changes greatly affect blood
pressure in CVS
Fluid Flow through a Tube Depends on the Pressure
Gradient
• Flow  ∆P

Gradient

Fluid Flow through a Tube Depends on the Pressure
Gradient
Figure 14-4c
As the Radius of a Tube Decreases, the Resistance
to Flow Increases

Flow Rate is Not the Same as Velocity of Flow
• Flow (Q): volume that passes a given point
• Velocity of flow (V): speed of flow
• V = Q/A
A= cross sectional area
• Leaf in stream
• Mean arterial pressure  cardiac output 
peripheral resistance (varies by X-sec of arteries)

(e) The heart is encased within
a membranous fluid-filled
sac, the pericardium.
(f) The ventricles occupy the bulk of
the heart. The arteries and veins all
attach to the base of the heart.

Cardiac Muscle Contraction
• Can be graded
• Sarcomere length affects force of contraction
• Action potentials vary according to cell type
Myocardial Contractile Cells
• Action potential of a cardiac contractile cell
• Refractory period in cardiac muscle – long no tetanus
