  2. Pulsatile flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsatile_flow

    The flow profiles was first derived by John R. Womersley (1907–1958) in his work with blood flow in arteries. [1] The cardiovascular system of chordate animals is a very good example where pulsatile flow is found, but pulsatile flow is also observed in engines and hydraulic systems, as a result of rotating mechanisms pumping the fluid.

  3. Womersley number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Womersley_number

    It is a dimensionless expression of the pulsatile flow frequency in relation to viscous effects. It is named after John R. Womersley (1907–1958) for his work with blood flow in arteries. [1] The Womersley number is important in keeping dynamic similarity when scaling an experiment. An example of this is scaling up the vascular system for ...

  4. Hemodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemodynamics

    The pumping action of the heart generates pulsatile blood flow, which is conducted into the arteries, across the micro-circulation and eventually, back via the venous system to the heart. During each heartbeat, systemic arterial blood pressure varies between a maximum ( systolic ) and a minimum ( diastolic ) pressure. [ 33 ]

  7. Pulsatile secretion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsatile_secretion

    Pulsatile secretion is a biochemical phenomenon observed in a wide variety of cell and tissue types, in which chemical products are secreted in a regular temporal pattern. The most common cellular products observed to be released in this manner are intercellular signaling molecules such as hormones or neurotransmitters .

  8. Hyperdynamic circulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperdynamic_circulation

    Hyperdynamic circulation is abnormally increased circulatory volume. Systemic vasodilation and the associated decrease in peripheral vascular resistance results in decreased pulmonary capillary wedge pressure and decreased blood pressure, presenting usually with a collapsing pulse, but sometimes a bounding pulse.
