  2. Skeletal muscle pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeletal_muscle_pump

    The skeletal muscle pump. The skeletal muscle pump or musculovenous pump is a collection of skeletal muscles that aid the heart in the circulation of blood. It is especially important in increasing venous return to the heart, [1] but may also play a role in arterial blood flow.

  3. Hemodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemodynamics

    For this reason, the blood flow velocity is the fastest in the middle of the vessel and slowest at the vessel wall. In most cases, the mean velocity is used. [18] There are many ways to measure blood flow velocity, like videocapillary microscoping with frame-to-frame analysis, or laser Doppler anemometry. [19]

  4. Physiology of marathons - Wikipedia

    The mechanism that allows for this distribution of oxygen to the muscle cells is muscle blood flow. [10] A 20 fold increase of local blood flow within skeletal muscle is necessary for endurance athletes, like marathon runners, to meet their muscles' oxygen demands at maximal exercise that are up to 50 times greater than at rest. [ 10 ]

  6. Haemodynamic response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haemodynamic_response

    In general, decrease in blood flow to the brain can be a result of thrombosis causing a partial or full blockage of blood vessels, hypotension in systemic circulation (and consequently the brain), or cardiac arrest. This decrease in blood flow in the cerebral vascular system can result in a buildup of metabolic wastes generated by neurons and ...

  7. Vascular smooth muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_smooth_muscle

    Vascular smooth muscle contracts or relaxes to change both the volume of blood vessels and the local blood pressure, a mechanism that is responsible for the redistribution of the blood within the body to areas where it is needed (i.e. areas with temporarily enhanced oxygen consumption).

  8. Local blood flow regulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_blood_flow_regulation

    First, metabolites that are produced by active muscle use can alter skeletal muscle tone. Second, skeletal muscle can undergo hyperemia, which is a mechanism of local blood flow regulation with two major subtypes. Regardless of the subtype, the result of hyperemia is an increase in blood flow to the affected skeletal muscle. [4]
