When measuring blood pressure, you are measuring the ____ of blood flowing through arteries
rate
quality
force
regularity
The measurement of force exerted on the wall of the arteries when the heart contracts is
systolic pressure
diastolic pressure
pulse pressure
If the arteries are narrow and hard, the blood prrssure is likely to be _____ than normal
higher
lower
What are the smaller arteries called?
arterioles
capillaries
venules
blood vessels
Turbulent flow makes no sound
True
False
Total peripheral resistance is influence by
length of blood vessels
viscosity of blood
radius of blood vessels
Which artery normally do we take blood pressure?
femoral
brachial
coronal
radial
Arterioles
are innervated by parasympathetic nervous system
carry blood to the capillaries
about 5-8 micrometer
Capillaries
has smooth muscle for vasoconstriction
has thin endothelial cells surrounded by basement membrane
has sympathetic innervation
What is the blood pressure in the picture?
118
118/78
78
78/70
70
Is the blood pressure in the picture normal?
Yes
No
Is the blood pressure in the picture normal?
Yes
No
The force of blood pushing against your arteries is...
Heart Rate
Temperature
Respiration Rate
Blood Pressure
Blood pressure is recorded as
Hydrostatic /diastolic
Diastolic/ hydrostatic
Systolic/diastolic
Diastolic/systolic
Blood pressure is recorded as
Hydrostatic /diastolic
Diastolic/ hydrostatic
Systolic/diastolic
Diastolic/systolic
Define Pulse Pressure
Force exerted by the blood against the vessel wall
The difference between systolic and diastolic pressure
The averaged arterial pressure over the cardiac cycle
Quantity of blood that passes a given point in the circulation in a given period of time.
Tendency of the vascular system to oppose flow
Define Mean arterial pressure
Is the main driving force for blood flow.
The difference between systolic and diastolic pressure
The averaged arterial pressure over the cardiac cycle
Quantity of blood that passes a given point in the circulation in a given period of time.
Tendency of the vascular system to oppose flow
Define Resistance
Force exerted by the blood against the vessel wall
The difference between systolic and diastolic pressure
The averaged arterial pressure over the cardiac cycle
Quantity of blood that passes a given point in the circulation in a given period of time.
Tendency of the vascular system to oppose flow
Resistance of a vessel is influenced by three main factors:
Length
Radius
Viscosity
Width
Duration
The greater the blood viscosity
the less the blood flow
the greater the blood flow
the same blood flow
Define Blood viscosity
measure of the thickness of blood.
measure of the flow of blood.
measure of the leant of blood.
blood flow duration in a specific period of time
