- *1.Is the only source of energy in the cardiac circuit the heart? Or
- does artiole smooth muscle actually inject energy into the system,
- and result in systemic increases in the pressure available in the
- closed circuit?
- 2. I don't think vascular compliance ie expansion of the artery walls due to volume filling results in any active injections of
- energy into the system..it should simply transfer the energy
- available to push fluid to elastic energy in the connective tissue
- of the artery walls. Is this correct?
- 3. Does vessel compliance partly determine the pressure the heart has to inject into the system?
- 4. What is the relationship between compliance and flow if there is one?*
