Consider three blood vessel segments of equivalent length and diameter: vessels A, B, and C. Pressure at the beginning of each s

egment is as follows:
A) P = 100 mmHg;
B) P = 80 mmHg;
C) P = 60 mmHg.
Pressure at the end of each segment is as follows:
A) P = 70 mmHg;
B) P = 50 mmHg;
C) P = 30 mmHg. Which vessel has the greatest blood flow through the described segment?

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>A, B and C. All have same blood flow.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The hemodynamic relation between blood flow (F), resistance (R)  and pressure difference (ΔP) can be expressed as

F = ΔP/R

<u>RESISTANCE:</u>

Since the three blood vessel segments are of equal length and diameter, it implies that all three blood vessel segments possess equal resistance.

Since the resistance is same in all vessels therefore, in this case blood flow depends on pressure differences.

<u>PRESSURE DIFFERENCES:</u>

ΔP in vessel segment (A):

100-70= 30 mmHg

ΔP in vessel segment (B):

80-50= 30 mmHg

ΔP in vessel segment (C):

60 -30 = 30 mmHg

<u>CONCLUSION:</u>

Since the pressure differences is same i.e. 30 mmHg in all vessel segments and resistance is also same, therefore blood flow will be same in all vessel segments.

Organic compounds and inorganic compounds differ from each other. Three differences are :
1. Organic compound has carbon and hydrogen atoms while the inorganic compound has other atoms.
2. Organic compounds make the important biomolecules such as amino acids, proteins, DNA, RNA, etc whereas the inorganic compounds make the salts, acids, bases, etc.
3. Organic compounds have carbon hydrogen bonds or carbon carbon bonds. These types are not formed in inorganic compounds.

Are involuntary muscles striated?
alukav5142 [94]
<span>No.The involuntary muscles of the muscular system are not striated or furrowed.

</span>
<span><span>These muscles that are not striated are very smooth to the sight which is why they are also called Smooth muscles.</span> Involuntary muscles are not striated. Even among the striated muscles that are voluntary, the heart which is also a muscle, is involuntary.
On the other hand the striated muscles, which are voluntary are highly fibrous and their primary function is to move the body voluntarily, and producing heat as a result of this muscle action. </span>

What role does the compound ATP play in cellular activities
Natasha2012 [34]
ATP or Adenosine triphosphate is well know for it's energy source but despite it has many roles in cell. ATP is primarily used as energy source as it has higher energy in it's phospho-di-ester bonds between P and P atoms. It is hydrolyzed to ADP & AMP to give energy.
