Welcome. This is Andrew Bachman. I'm given a lecture on arterial physiology and physics review. The main objectives for this, um, lecture is to list the various hemodynamic forces acting upon the arterial system. Describe the relationship between pressure, flow, and resistance, and identify the factors that control peripheral blood flow. Define physiological changes associated with arterial...
