In patients with this, aortic pressure may fall to zero between heartbeats, and there is no incisura in the aoritc pulse contour

What is aortic regurgitation

These are essentially tubes of endothelium that, unlike the typical blood capillary, lack a continuous basal lamina.

What are Lymphatic capillaries

In response to increased hemodynamic loads, the heart muscle becomes enlarged, a form of this

What is adaptation?

300

In cardiac muscle, action potentials are caused by opening of these three types of channels

What are voltage-activated fast sodium channels as those in skeletal muscle; & L-type calcium channels (slow calcium channels)/calcium-sodium channels ( & potassium channels)

Reynolds’ number, the measure of the tendency for turbulence to occur, is calculated using this equation:

Re = (v x d x p)/η


Where v is the mean velocity of blood flow (in cm/sec), d is the vessel diameter (in centimeters), ρ is density (in grams/ml), and η is the viscosity (in poise).
