Introduction Cardiovascular Dynamics and the Cardiovascular Physiology experiments both have multiple goals. The first experiment aims to understand how blood flow‚ pressure gradient‚ and resistance relate to one another. To understand this‚ resistance and contributing factors‚ such as vessel radius‚ viscosity‚ and vessel length must be studied. The effects of vessel radius and stroke volume on the ventricular pump should also examined. The experiment also calls for an understanding of cardiovascular compensation
