100
This type of flow occurs when blood moves with varying velocities due to cardiac contraction.
What is pulsatile flow?
100
Blood moves from regions of high energy to regions of low energy.
What is an energy gradient?
100
These two factors will cause the pressure gradient to increase if they also increase.
What is flow and resistance?
100
Veins are associated with this type of flow that is a result of respiration.

What is velocity?
200
The velocity is highest in the center of the vessel in this type of flow.
What is parabolic flow?
200
A type of energy determined by an object's mass and the speed at which it moves.

What is a thrill?
300
The act of creating flow by overcoming resistance.
What is pressure energy?
300
This principle states that as the velocity of fluid increases, the pressure exerted by that fluid must decrease.
What is Bernoulli's principle?
300
A pressure related to the weight of blood pressing on a vessel somewhere above or below the heart.

What is hematocrit?
500
Kinetic energy is the lowest in the stenotic profile at this point.
