Experiment Results
Predict Question:
Predict Question 1: You will now test three mechanisms to compensate for the decrease in flow rate caused by the
decreased flow tube radius. Which mechanism do you think will have the greatest compensatory effect?
Your answer : b. increasing the pump's pressure
Predict Question 2: What do you think will happen if the pump pressure and the beaker pressure are the same?
Your answer : c. Flow will stop.
Stop & Think Questions:
Narrowing of the right flow tube radius simulates
Your answer : d. pulmonary valve stenosis.
Correct answer: c. aortic valve stenosis.
What does increasing the pump pressure correspond to in the human heart?
Your answer : c. increasing viscosity
Correct answer: d. increasing the force of contraction
What does decreasing the right (destination) beaker correspond to in the human heart?
You correctly answered: b. decreasing afterload
