11.9 Pressures in the Body

The cohesive forces seem to be too small to hold the molecule tightly together in most situations.

The pull provided by the cohesive force of water molecule is very strong.
Experiments have shown that negative pressures can be used to pull the sap from the tallest trees.

Blood pressure is one of the most common medical exams.

The decrease in heart attack and stroke deaths achieved in the last three decades is largely due to the control of high blood pressure.

Valuable medical indicators can be provided by the pressures in various parts of the body.
In this section, we look at a few examples together with some of the physics that accompanies them.

The units most commonly quoted are measured in millimetres Hg.

The values of 120mm Hg and 80mm Hg for systolic and diastolic pressures are typically produced by common arterial blood pressure measurements.

There are health implications of both pressures.
The risk of stroke and heart attack increases when the pressure is high.
It is a problem if it is too low.
The change may be beneficial to the tone of the circulatory system because it produces no ill effects.
It can indicate that a person is bleeding internally and needs a transfusion.
The ballooning of the blood vessels may be the result of the transfusion of too much fluid into the circulatory system.
Blood vessels are not dilating properly when the pressure is high.
This can cause the heart to stop pumping blood.

Blood flow through the system as well as the position of the person cause the pressure differences in the circulation system.

The weight of the blood causes the pressure in the feet to be larger than at the heart.

A long time standing can cause blood to accumulate in the legs.

Soldiers who are required to stand for long periods of time have been known to faint.
Increased pressure on the bandages around the calf can help the veins send blood back up to the heart.
Doctors recommend tight stockings for long-haul flights.

Blood pressure can be measured in the major veins, the heart chambers, arteries to the brain, and the lungs.

The pressures are usually only monitored during surgery or for patients in intensive care.
To transmit pressures to external measuring devices, qualified health care workers thread thin tubes, called catheters, into appropriate locations.

Left-heart failure causes a rise in the pressure in the left side of the heart and a drop in the aortal pressure.

Implications of these and other pressures on flow in the circulatory system will be discussed in more detail.

The right side of the heart pumps blood through the lungs to the rest of the body.

The circulatory system has typical pressures.

The two pumps in the heart increase the pressure in the body.
Medical implications from long-term deviations from these pressures are discussed in some detail in the Fluid Dynamics and Its Biological and Medical Applications.
Only the arteries can be measured.

The net pressure can become so large that it can permanently damage the nerve.

The back of the eye has an area and the net pressure is 85.0mm Hg.

The force is given by.

Intraocular pressure maintains the shape of the eye.

A build up in pressure in the eye is called Glaucoma, and can be caused by blocked fluid in the eye.

The force is the mass.

The damage would be caused by a mass of 680 g resting on the eye.

People over the age of 40 should have their intraocular pressure tested frequently.

The eye's response is the most important part of most measurements.
A noncontact approach uses a puff of air and a measurement is made of the force needed to hit the eye.
The eye will rebound more vigorously if the intraocular pressure is high.
It is possible to detect excessive intraocular pressures.

The eye pressure can be read with a tonometer.

A force of 3.00-N can break an eardrum.

Since we know the force and area, the pressure can be found directly from its definition.

The gauge pressure is something we are looking for.

The water pressure varies with depth below the surface.

When there is a fluid build up in the middle ear, there can be increased pressure on the eardrum.

When you inhale, the pressure falls to below atmospheric pressure, which causes air to flow into the lungs.

When you exhale, it increases above atmospheric pressure.

Several mechanisms control lung pressure.

The volume of the lungs is increased by the muscle action in the rib cage.
Positive pressure is created by the surface tension in the alveoli.
When you blow up a balloon, blow out a candle, or cough, you can add muscle action to the positive pressure.

If the alveoli were not attached to the inside of the chest wall, the lungs would collapse.

The gauge pressure in the liquid attaching the lungs to the chest wall is negative, ranging from to during exhalation and inhalation.
One or both lungs may collapse if air is allowed to enter the chest cavity.
To inflate the lungs of trauma victims and surgery patients, suck air out of the chest.

The pressure between the lungs and chest wall is lower because of the surface tension in the lungs.

The pressure between the chest wall and lungs is negative, but not as negative as during inhalation.

Normally, there is a 5- to12-mm Hg pressure in the fluid surrounding the brain.

One of the uses of the fluid is to supply flotation to the brain.
The density of the brain is nearly the same as the force supplied by the fluid.
The brain rests on the inside of the skull if there is a loss of fluid.
The pressure is measured using a needle that is inserted between the back of the neck.

We are often aware of this bodily pressure.

There is a relationship between our awareness of the pressure and an increase in it.
As the bladder fills to its normal capacity, bladder pressure climbs from zero to 25mm Hg.
It also causes muscles around the bladder to contract, raising the pressure to over 100mm Hg, accentuating the sensation.
Bladder pressure can be measured with a catheter, by injecting a needle through the bladder wall, or by using a measuring device.
A hazard of high bladder pressure is that it can cause urine to go back into the kidneys and cause serious damage.

The high values of initial force and the small areas to which this force is applied make these pressures the largest in the body.

This pressure can damage the discs in the spine.
Under normal circumstances, the forces between the vertebrae in the spine are large enough to create pressures.
Lifting properly and avoiding extreme physical activity are some of the ways in which excessive pressure can be avoided.
Food and waste can be caused by pressure caused by muscle actions.
Stomach pressure is tied to the sensation of hunger.
The pressure in the chest is usually negative.
If atmospheric pressure is greater than middle ear pressure, there can be force on the eardrum.
The decrease in external pressure can be seen during plane flights due to a decrease in the weight of air above the Earth's surface.
The Eustachian tubes connect the middle ear to the throat and allow us to equalize pressure in the middle ear.

The human body has many pressures associated with it.

A fluid is a state of matter that yields to sideways or where is the pressure, is the height of the liquid.

Both fluids are gases.

Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance or Pressure is force per unit area.

The SI unit of density is the change in pressure applied to an enclosed fluid that isundiminished to all portions of the fluid.

The force is applied to the area over which it is measured.

The SI unit of pressure is pascal and the gauge pressure is relative to atmospheric.

The sum of gauge pressure and Depth in a fluid atmospheric pressure is called the Variation of Pressure.

The pressure is the weight of the fluid divided by the spring arrangement and the area of the bottom of the scale.

It can be used to measure pressure.

Cohesive forces cause the liquid to contract to the smallest possible surface area.

The surface tension is a general effect.

The net upward force on any object is called buoyant force.

The object will rise to the surface if the strength of the float is greater than the strength of the narrow tube.
If the force is less than the object's.

The object will remain suspended if the force is equal to 11.9 Pressures in the Body.

Blood pressure is one of the most common objects that floats, sinks, or is suspended in a fluid.

The weight of the fluid it displaces can be compared to the pressures in various parts of the body.

The shape of the eye is maintained by fluid pressure and intraocular pressure.

When the circulation of fluid in the eye is blocked, it can lead to a condition called Capillary Action Glaucoma.

Some of the other pressures in the body are called cohesive forces.

Give an example of density being used to identify the substance.
