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 : b. Flow rate will increase.
Stop & Think Questions:
Narrowing of the right flow tube radius simulates
You correctly answered: c. aortic valve stenosis.
What does increasing the pump pressure correspond to in the human heart?
You correctly answered: 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
