    PCB Lab Exercise 5 Activity 1

    Maria Camila Galvis
    This document summarizes Maria Galvis's lab report on an experiment investigating the effect of blood vessel radius on blood flow rate. Maria scored 100% on pre-lab and post-lab quizzes. Her experiment data showed that increasing the radius of an experimental blood vessel resulted in exponential increases to blood flow rate, supporting her prediction. The relationship between radius and flow rate followed the equation that flow increases proportionally to radius to the fourth power, rather than linearly as she had initially predicted.

    Post-lab Quiz Results
    You scored 100% by answering 4 out of 4 questions correctly.

    1. The variable that you altered in this activity was


    You correctly answered: c. vessel radius.

    2. Vessel radius and fluid flow


    You correctly answered: b. are directly proportional.

    3. After a heavy meal, when we are relatively inactive, we might expect blood vessels in the skeletal muscles to be
    somewhat __________ and the blood vessels in the digestive organs to be somewhat __________.
    You correctly answered: d. constricted, dilated

    4. When you increased the flow tube radius, the fluid flow rate
    You correctly answered: a. increased.

    Review Sheet Results
    1. Explain how the body establishes a pressure gradient for fluid flow.
    Your answer:
    the pressure gradient for fluid flow is established by heart constraction.

    2. Explain the effect that the flow tube radius change had on flow rate. How well did the results compare with your
    prediction?
    Your answer:
    Increasing the radius increased the flow rate, as I predicted

    3. Describe the effect that radius changes have on the laminar flow of a fluid.
    Your answer:
    When the radius is incresed, the flow of a fluid increases xponentially compared to when the radius is decreased.

    4. Why do you think the plot was not linear? (Hint: look at the relationship of the variables in the equation). How well did the
    results compare with your prediction?
    Your answer:
    I was wrong. It was not a straight line. It increased exponentially following the equation that flow rate increases
    proportionally to the radius to the power of four.
