These are 8x more distensible than arteries
(a)
Loss of this happens to vessels with age and results in greater differences between systolic and diastolic volumes
(a)
This refers to a dip in aortic pressure
(a)
This is delayed with increase in volume or stress relaxation in order to accommodate the extra blood flow or hemorrhage
Aortic incisura
Distensibility
Compliance
Accommodation
This is found by subtracting the diastolic volume from the systolic volume
Stroke volume
Arterial compliance
Pulse pressure
Distensibility
This condition results in limited distensibility and increased systolic pressure because there is no accommodation for flow
Aortic stenosis
Patent ductus arteriosus
Arteriosclerosis
Aortic regurgitation
This condition results from the valve not opening properly and is reflected by a flattened pressure contour
Aortic stenosis
Patent ductus arteriosus
Arteriosclerosis
Aortic regurgitation
This condition results from the valve not closing properly which sends back flow into the ventricle, causing huge pressure differences between systolic and diastolic pressures
Aortic stenosis
Patent ductus arteriosus
Arteriosclerosis
Aortic regurgitation
This condition results from the structure between the aorta and artery being persistently opened, which causes some blood to escape into the pulmonary circulation. This causes an overall increase in systolic pressure and decrease in diastolic pressure.
Aortic stenosis
Patent ductus arteriosus
Arteriosclerosis
Aortic regurgitation
Larger incisurae occur in these two structures rather than smaller vessels that show less variation between systole and diastole
Femoral artery
Arteriole
Proximal aorta
Capillary
These sounds are what is heard during auscultatory blood pressure exams, which are caused by the pulsing of a turbulent flow resulting from the partial occlusion of blood flow from the cuff.
(a)
THIS can be calculated by multiplying systolic pressure by 0.4, diastolic pressure by 0.6, and adding the two volumes together.
Turbulence
Pulse pressure
Resistance
Mean arterial pressure
Does gravitational or hydrostatic pressure demonstrate a higher, lower, or consistent pressure at a person’s feet compared to their head when they are standing?
Higher
Lower
Consistent
What is a possible outcome of a patient who stands completely still for 6-8 hours per day, reaching a mmHg of 90, limiting the ability for the left side of the heart to pump to the brain?
Emesis
Syncope
Aphasia
Paresthesias
Venous valve incompetence and varicose veins often stem from genius stasis, which can cause peripheral ______
Neuropathy
Weakness
Edema
Numbness
This organ is located in the LUQ and can raise Hct levels 1–2%. It also filters blood and traps abnormal cells
Liver
Kidneys
Gall bladder
Spleen
Would a hemorrhage increase right atrial pressure?
Yes
No
