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?
The blood flow through the aorta in the given scenario is:

a) turbulen

b) laminar

c) transitioning between laminar and turbulen.

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

Which best describes chromosomal dilatation
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:Changes that affect the structure of chromosomes can cause problems with growth, development, and function of the body's systems. These changes can affect many genes along the chromosome and disrupt the proteins made from those genes.

Structural changes can occur during the formation of egg or sperm cells, in early fetal development, or in any cell after birth. Pieces of DNA can be rearranged within one chromosome or transferred between two or more chromosomes. The effects of structural changes depend on their size and location, whether gene function is interrupted, and whether any genetic material is gained or lost. Some changes cause health problems, while others may have no effect on a person's health.

Which cell is most important for the defense against parasitic organisms ?
Murljashka [212]

I'd say, ina general way, that the most imporant cells in defense against parasitic organisms are definitely white blood cels, the cells responsible for defeating antigens, pathogens and deseases.

Although these might be the most important ones in that specific task (defending against parasitic organisms), all the cells in the immune system, along with other non-cell things are important, since they all play a specific role indispensable in our immune system.


Hope it helped,

Mkey [24]

His work, which was documented and repeatable, contradicted the accepted cell theory, so a change in the theory was required.
