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
The head will face the air because it is hydrophilic. The tails are hydrophobic
The pituitary gland is often called the "main gland" of the body, as it regulates many of the activities of the endocrine glands. ... HET (thyroid stimulating hormone) stimulates the thyroid gland to release T3 and T4 to stimulate metabolism in other cells of the body.
