    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemodynamics

    Hemodynamics explains the physical laws that govern the flow of blood in the blood vessels. Blood flow ensures the transportation of nutrients , hormones , metabolic waste products, oxygen , and carbon dioxide throughout the body to maintain cell-level metabolism , the regulation of the pH , osmotic pressure and temperature of the whole body ...

  3. Haemodynamic response - Wikipedia

    Various cell types play a role in HR, including astrocytes, smooth muscle cells, endothelial cells of blood vessels, and pericytes. These cells control whether the vessels are constricted or dilated, which dictates the amount of oxygen and glucose that is able to reach the neuronal tissue.

  4. Hemodynamics of the aorta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemodynamics_of_the_Aorta

    The hemodynamics of the aorta is an ongoing field of research in which the goal is to identify what flow patterns and subsequent forces occur within the thoracic aorta. These patterns and forces are used to identify the presence and severity of cardiovascular diseases such as aortic aneurysm and atherosclerosis . [ 1 ]
