Blood Pressure/Vessels

• Volume of blood flowing through vessel, organ, or entire circulation in given period

• Blood flow

• Blood pressure

• Blood pH

• Resistance

Force per unit area exerted on wall of blood vessel by blood, expressed in mm/Hg

• Blood flow

• Blood pressure

• Blood pH

• Resistance

amount of friction blood encounters with vessel walls, generally in peripheral (systemic) circulation

• Blood flow

• Blood pressure

• Diastolic pressure

• Resistance

What is blood viscosity?

• Amount of free hydrogen in blood

• % of RBCs in blood

• pressure in aorta during ventricular constriction

• stickiness of blood due to formed elements and plasms

What is systolic pressure?
