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 kind of stimulation causes vasodilation of the afferent arteriole?
Vasodilation of the afferent arteriole is primarily caused by stimuli such as a decrease in oxygen levels (hypoxia), an increase in carbon dioxide levels, prostaglandins, and nitric oxide. These factors signal the arteriole to dilate, increasing blood flow into the glomerulus in the kidney.
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
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'.
Which would have the greater effect on vascular resistance?
Vasoconstriction would have a greater effect on increasing vascular resistance compared to vasodilation. When blood vessels constrict, their diameter decreases, leading to increased resistance to blood flow. Conversely, vasodilation results in an expansion of blood vessel diameter, reducing resistance.
What effect does vasodilation have on blood pressure?
Vasodilation typically leads to a decrease in blood pressure. This is because when blood vessels dilate, their diameter increases, allowing more blood to flow through them with less resistance, reducing the pressure on the vessel walls.
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.
Macula densa feedback (tubuloglomerular feedback) decrease or increase?
The macula densa is involved in tubuloglomerular feedback to help regulate glomerular filtration rate. An increase in NaCl concentration at the macula densa leads to vasoconstriction of the afferent arteriole, decreasing glomerular filtration rate. Conversely, a decrease in NaCl concentration leads to vasodilation of the afferent arteriole, increasing glomerular filtration rate.
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.
