Learning Goals and Outcomes • Learning Goal 1: Students will use a model to understand how total cross sectional area affects fluid velocity. • Learning Outcome 1: Students will be able to describe fluid velocity change due to total cross sectional area. (Bloom’s 1-2)
Opening Clicker Question What do think will happen as blood is flowing from a wider vessel into a more narrow vessel? A. It will go faster through the narrow vessel. B. It will go slower through the narrow vessel. C. It will flow at the same velocity through both vessels.

Repeat Clicker Question What do think will happen as blood is flowing from a wider vessel into a more narrow vessel? A. It will go faster through the narrow vessel. B. It will go slower through the narrow vessel. C. It will flow at the same velocity through both vessels.
The fork in the road… • What if the tube splits into 2 and each is half as wide?
Learning Goals and Outcomes • Learning Goal 2: Students will learn how to apply a mathematical model to understand a biological phenomenon. • Learning Outcome 2: Students will be able to predict how blood velocity will change with changing cross sectional area. (Bloom’s 3-4)
Let’s get Quantitative! • Fluids in a Tube: Continuity Equation A1v1 = A2v2 Graphic courtesy of and more information at: http://www.aplusphysics.com/courses/honors/fluids/continuity.html
Clicker question: At some point in an artery, plaques have narrowed the artery such that Awide is twice Anarrow. Based on the continuity equation, you would expect: A) vnarrow= 2 vwide B) vnarrow= 4 vwide C) vnarrow= ½ vwide D) vnarrow = ¼ vwide
Radius vs. Area? 1) Open the PhET simulation found at this link: http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/fluid-pressure-and-flow 2) Switch to the “Flow” tab, and check the “Ruler” box. 3) Click on the “handles” to create a 2” diameter tube flowing into a 1” diameter tube. 4) Measure fluid speed in each tube - drag the speed tool into each region.
Clicker question: At some point in an artery, plaques have narrowed the artery such that rwide is three times rnarrow. Based on the continuity equation, you would expect: A) vnarrow= 3 vwide B) vnarrow= 9 vwide C) vnarrow= 1/3 vwide D) vnarrow = 1/9 vwide Rwide Rnarrow
Learning Goals and Outcomes • Learning Goal 3: Students will understand how the principles explored in Goal 1 and 2 apply to blood velocity through vascular systems. • Learning Outcome 3: Students will graphically predict blood velocity based on the model cover under learning activity 2. (Bloom’s 3-4) • Learning Outcome 4: Students will revise their hypotheses to account for new data. (Bloom’s 3-4)
Learning Activity 3 • Students are given an empty graph (see slide 13 and handout) • Students predict velocity curve and fill in the graph • Students share and discuss in groups • Groups share with class & instructor • Instructor leads class discussion describing their results • Instructor provides the correct velocity graph, but does not explain the correct answer in order to create suspense • This graph includes velocity and blood vessel radius

Learning Activity 3 (cont.) • Make a sketch of 2 cross-sectional areas: • Capillaries • Aorta • Does your drawing explain the velocity in the aorta vs. the capillaries? If not, can you improve your drawing? Hill, R., Wyse, G. & Anerson, M. Animal Physiology, 3rd Ed. Fig. 24.12 (part 1)

Goals • Learning Goal 1: Students will learn a model to understand how total cross sectional area affects fluid velocity. • Learning Goal 2: Students will learn how to apply a mathematical model to understand a biological phenomenon. • Learning Goal 3: Students will understand how the principles explored in Goal 1 and 2 apply to blood velocity through vascular systems.
Clicker question: Suppose you had a single pipe (rlarge = 7.0 mm) that feeds a shower head with many holes (rsmall = 1.0 mm). What is the number of small holes such that vsmall = vlarge? A) 7 B) 21 C) 49 D) 70 E) 343 www.archiexpo.com/prod/bossini/shower-heads-80-247322.html
Exit ticket/formative assessment On the back of your graphing worksheet, use the “effective” capillary area and the average size of each capillary to estimate the total number of capillaries in the bed. SHOW YOUR WORK! The estimated number of capillaries is one billion.
Summative Assessment • Test questions using continuity equation, bifurcation and the human circulatory system
