Is the blood pressure in the picture normal?

• Yes

• No

An electrocardiogram measures what?

• The amount of pressure exerted on blood vessels.
• The electrical activity of the heart.
• How many times the heart contracts over time.
• The body's temperature caused by friction of blood in vessel.

The phase in the cardiac cycle in which the heart relaxes between contractions is known as

• Diastole

• Systole

• Pulse pressure

• Baseline recording

The systolic blood pressure represents the

• Pressure in the arteries when the ventricles contract

• Pressure in the arteries when the heart relaxes

• Pressure in the arteries when the atria contract

• Expansion and recoiling of the aorta

True or False

Blood pressure is determined by:

the strength of contraction amount of blood pumped into the arteries the viscosity of the blood

the size and flexibility of the arteries.

• True

• False

_________________________ occurs when ventricles of the heart contract and blood is forced into the arteries, pressure increases

• Systolic pressure

• Diastolic pressure

• Heart attack

• Heart murmurs

• Angina pectoris

________________ occurs when the ventricles relax and pressure decreases

• Systolic pressure

• Diastolic pressure

• Heart attack

• Heart murmurs

• Angina pectoris
