1. What is blood pres- measurement of force applied to artery walls
sure?
2. What is systolic highest level of pressure, right after ventricular contraction
blood pressure?
3. What is diastolic lowest level of pressure, right before the next contraction of the ventricles
blood pressure? (relaxed)
4. What is pulse pres- the difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure
sure?
5. The cardiovascular the heart and blood vessels in two circuits: systemic and pulmonary
system consists of:
.....
6. What is stroke vol- the amount of blood ejected from the ventricle with each contraction
ume? (can be RV or LV, but usually LV)
7. What is systemic the resistance to blood flow offered by all of the systemic vasculature (exclud-
vascular resistance? ing the pulmonary vasculature)
AKA total peripheral resistance
8. What does vasocon- raises systemic vascular resistance
triction do to SVR?
9. What does vasodila- lowers systemic vascular resistance
tion do to SVR?
10. What determines mean arterial pressure = cardiac output * systemic vascular resistance
the blood pressure? MAP = CO*SVR
OR
CO = MAP/SVR
