  • Today we cover Poiseuille's law and its associated equation, specifically focusing on the different variables in the equation and how each relate to each other-from flow (Q), radius (r), pressure gradient (deltaP), eta (viscosity), and length (L). One main takeaway: radius and pressure gradient are inversely related (if one goes up, the other must come down) at a constant flow rate (Q). We also cover ideal fluids, viscosity, and how the vasculature of the body-artieres, arterioles, capillaries, venules, and veins-can be analyzed with this equation.

    While not everything on the MCAT will be clinically relevant, Poiseuille's law will show up again and again-especially in your Cardiology block in medical school! This is a great one for your long-term tool box.

    Your videos are amazing, I can't believe you aren't more famous yet! UA-cam algorithm is actually doing a disservice to premed students if it's not recommending you enough, since you are SO helpful. Please know I am very grateful for your channel.

    First, thank you for all of these videos you've made! Quick question: you mentioned when solving your example problem that pressure must drop in order to compensate for an increase in radius, but isn't the opposite true? If radius increases -> area increases -> therefore velocity must drop in order to maintain constant flow (according to the continuity equation). Also, since velocity drops -> pressure must also rise in order to make sure that we follow conservation of energy (Venturi effect - also explained through Bernoulli's Equation -> KE drops, therefore, Pressure rises (height won't spontaneously change)). Maybe this isn't such a quick question actually.

    In the question at the end of this video, what made us know to use Poiseuille’s Law instead of Q=Av

    • @medcatmcat

      Good question! One hint is that you are maintaining the pressure gradient, deltaP, which is part of Poiseuille's law, not the continuity equation, Q = AV. If they start talking about maintaining the linear velocity (v), then that's a sign to use the continuity equation, Q = AV.
