Fluid Dynamics - Venous Flow

This lecture covers venous hemodynamics and fluid dynamics, explaining how veins function as capacitance vessels and how factors like hydrostatic pressure, transmural pressure, and respiratory changes affect venous flow. Key clinical applications include understanding edema formation, deep vein thrombosis, varicose veins, and the calf muscle pump mechanism.

Good afternoon. We're gonna talk about, uh, venous flow and venous hemodynamics and fluid dynamics within the venous system. Main objectives to this lecture are gonna be to review and discuss fluid dynamics and venous flow itself. We're gonna review core physics concepts utilized with ultrasound to better understand venous capacitance, and we're gonna discuss basic ultrasound terminology as you...
