Ultrasound Registry Review Assured A+|Certified Pass
Which of the following flow patterns is associated with cardiac contraction?


A. Phasic
B. spontaneous
C. steady
D. pulsatile

E. continuous - ANSWERS-D. pulsatile



A pulsatile flow pattern describes blood moving at a variable velocity as a result of
contraction of the heart. As a result, arterial flow is often described as pulsatile.


Which of the following terms does not belong with the others?


A. Phasic
B. spontaneous
C. pulsatile

D. Venous - ANSWERS-C. pulsatile



Arterial flow is often described as pulsatile. phasic or spontaneous flow patterns
describe blood moving at a variable velocity as a result of the mechanics of
breathing. Phasic flow is observed in venous circulation.

, Which of the following is not associated with the laminar flow?


A. layered
B. normal
C. aligned
D. smooth

E. chaotic - ANSWERS-E. chaotic



Chaotic does not describe laminar flow. chaotic flow is associated with turbulent
flow.


Which of the following is not associated with a turbulent flow?


A. Parabolic
B. Eddy
C. vortex
D. swirling

E. spectral broadening - ANSWERS-A. Parabolic



Parabolic flow is a bullet shaped flow pattern associated with laminar flow. the
remaining terms, B, C, D, and E are all related to turbulent flow.


What is the primary reason blood moves from one location to another?
