What is the Reynolds number for blood leaving the heart through the aorta if the diameter of the aorta is 2.15 cm and the blood

has a dynamic viscosity of 2.70 × 10-3 Pa·s, a density of 1050 kg/m3, and travels at a mean fluid velocity of 15.9 cm/s?

Answer:

b. laminar flow

the reynold number is 1329.26

Explanation:

Re = (V x D x ρ)/ η

where,

V = mean velocity = 15.9 cm/s = 0.159m/s

D = vessel diameter = 2.15cm = 0.0215m

ρ = blood density = 1050 kg/m3 = 0.00105 kg/cm3

η = dynamic viscousity= 2.70 × 10-3 Pa·s = 2.70 × 10-3 kg/m-s

applying the formular to calculate for reynolds number, Re =

Re = (V x D x ρ)/ η

   =(0.159 x 0.0215 x 1050) / 2.70 × 10-3

   =3.589/0.0027 = 1329.26

the Reynolds number for the blood leaving the heart through the aorta if the diameter of the aorta is 2.15 cm and the blood has a dynamic viscosity of 2.70 × 10-3 Pa·s, a density of 1050 kg/m3, and travels at a mean fluid velocity of 15.9 cm/s is 1329.26

which flow through the aorta in a Laminar flow

Note that

a) turbulen= Re  >4000

b) laminar= Re  <2300

c) transitioning between laminar and turbulen= Re between 2100 and 4000

How do glucocorticoids enable the body to deal appropriately with stress? by releasing the neurotransmitters that prepare the bo
klemol [59]

Answer:

By increasing blood glucose, fatty acid, and amino acid levels

Explanation:

Cortisol, corticosterone, and cortisone are the glucocorticoids released by the adrenal cortex and serve to impart resistance to stress. These hormones stimulate protein breakdown (mainly in muscle cells), gluconeogenesis and lipolysis and thereby increase the concentration of amino acids, glucose and fatty acids in blood.

The amino acids are used by cells for synthesis of new proteins or for synthesis of ATP. Glucose is also used by cells to produce ATPs.

Glucocorticorticoids increase the sensitivity of blood vessels for hormones which in turn stimulate their constriction. The vasoconstriction raises blood pressure. The process of vasoconstriction resumes the normal range of blood pressure which is otherwise dropped by some emergency conditions such as injury and severe loss of blood.

Which part of the hemoglobin molecule binds carbon dioxide for transport?
Kipish [7]

Answer:

α-amino group

Explanation:

The α-amino group on the hemoglobin binds with the CO2 and this action causes a conformational change in the structure of hemoglobin that ultimately causes the release of linked oxygen. When CO2 is binded to the hemoglobin the whole complex is termed as carbamino-hemoglobin.
