Some Elementary Physics for the Organ Physiology Course

چکیده
Laminar and Turbulent Flow. If a fluid flows through a long, smooth-walled, narrow tube at a low flow rate, flow is likely to be “laminar.” Here the particles of fluid travel parallel to the sides of the tube. This is often the case for blood flowing in veins. Flow is proportional to the pressure difference (Figure 2A). The viscosity of the fluid is an important determinant of the relationship between pressure drop and flow.

متن کاملChallenges in teaching the mechanics of breathing to medical and graduate students.
The mechanics of breathing has always been a difficult topic for some medical and graduate students. The subject is very quantitative and contains a number of concepts that some students have trouble with, including physical principles such as pressure, flow, volume, resistance, elasticity, and compliance. Apparently, present-day students find the subject more difficult than students of 20 year...
متن کاملHas the time for systems physiology passed?
During the recent decades, substantial changes are made in the borders and contents of physiology as a basic course for the students in medicine. Here some strategies are presented to preserve the classical and integrative approaches in teaching physiology, while these approaches extent our knowledge to molecular, sub-cellular and cellular levels.
