How do you diameter of a circle?
You do a diameter circle!!
What part of a diameter is a radius?
It is half of the diameter or radius = diameter/2
A chord of a circle that contains the center of a circle-?
The cord of a circle that contains the center of that circle is a diameter of that circle.
What is external diameter?
The diameter is the measurement of a line that goes right through a circle, through the centre point. In cases where we have a ring or some other such object with multiple circles, we would have an external diameter and an internal diameter. The internal diameter is the diameter of the inner circle. The external diameter is the diameter of the outer circle.
Calculating radius and diameter?
Radius = Diameter/2 Diameter = 2* Radius
What increases blood flow in capillaries the most?
arteriole vasodilation
What are the distinctive features of an arteriole?
The distinctive features of an arteriole include small diameter and its branching into capillaries.
What is ateriole dilation?
Arteriole dilation is an increase in the diameter of a small artery.
What effect does local heat application have on blood vessel diameter?
Vasodilation or enlargement of the blood vessel
What is the effect of constricted arterioles in the glomerular filtration rate?
Decreasing the diameter of the efferent arteriole would increase the hydrostatic pressure inside the glomerulus and effectively increase the glomerular filtration rate. If you increase the diameter of the afferent arteriole you would achieve the same effect.
Is there a difference between vasodilation and vasodilatation?
None.'Vasodilatation' is technically the correct term for increase in diameter of lumen of blood vessels.In fact, there is no such term as 'vasodilation', but it is a very common mistake that people use the term 'vasodilation' instead of 'vasodilatation'.
What the arteriole leads into the glomerulus?
efferent arteriole
What controls the diameter of the arterioles and what do changes in diameter affect?
Arterioles are the smallest vessels of the arterial system, with a diameter of about 1/3 millimeter or smaller. There is much smooth muscle in their tunica media, which causes vasocontrictionwhen it contracts, and vasodilation when it relaxes. Such vasoconstriction and vasodilation plays two important roles in the cardiovascular system.controls of distribution of blood flow to different parts of the bodydetermines the total peripheral resistance
What is the size of the arteriole?
what is the actual size of arteriole
Why is the afferent arteriole larger than than the efferent arteriole?
Lot of fluid is filtered out in the glomeruli. Almost 180 litres of fluid per day is filtered in glomeruli. So to maintain the blood pressure in afferent arterioles, you need to have efferent arterioles with less diameter.
What is the increase of diameter in a blood vessel called?
Vasodilation: Widening of blood vessels resulting from relaxation of the muscular wall of the vessels. What widens is actually the diameter of the interior (the lumen) of the vessel. The opposite of vasoconstriction.
What is the proper term for blood vessels getting larger in diameter?
This is called vasodilation. Vaso meaning vessel and dilation meaning getting wider.
