16 <strong>CVCK</strong> Student Lab ManualExercise 4: Pressure and Flow in Blood VesselsThis exercise focuses on the interaction between pressure and flow in the bloodvessels connected to the heart.Construct the system shown in Figure 8. Attach a pressure gauge to the heart atpoint A, and flow gauges at points B and C, then convert the gauges into graphs.Move the graphs so that they are aligned vertically, one above the other. This willmake them easier to compare.Figure 8: Measuring pressure and flow around the heart.Run the simulation and examine the graphs that are generated then answer thefollowing questions:4.1 When the pressure of the heart is high (systolic), does blood flow into theheart or away from it?
