Vascular Physiology

by Thad Wilson, PhD

Vascular physiology encompasses the biophysical principles that explain fluid mechanics within blood vessels. The constant delivery of blood and oxygenation of tissues requires a rapid and efficient flow through the generation of pressure differentials, as well as prompt collection and return of blood to the cardiac pump. This is achieved in human beings with a closed circulatory circuit.

In this course, the student will be introduced to the physiology of arterial and venous blood pressure, the immediate and delayed regulatory mechanism of blood pressure, the vascular response to exercise, and finally the circulation in the brain, heart, and skin.

For optimal comprehension, the student must have a preliminary understanding of molecular and cellular biology, emphasizing biochemistry, and the histology of blood vessels and their types. Acquaintance with the generalities of fluid mechanics is encouraged.

like it very much Thad is awesome thanks, donno why noone has rated

 
distrubition of blood flow
By Fatih T. on 15. March 2022 for Distribution of Blood Flow – Special Circulations

it was very nice,love it, I am just ranking cause noone ever did, and really like Thad Wilson explains so good.
