ANSWERS GRADED A+ 2025 FIRST CLASS
PASS
arterial blood pressure - correct answer -is the pressure differences between the left and right
sides of the heart that produce the gradient allowing systemic movement of blood.
-is produced by force of left ventricular contraction overcoming the resistance of the aorta to
open the aortic valve.
What are the determinants of systemic blood pressure? - correct answer -cardiac output and the
resistance to the ejection of the heart. (CO = SV x HR)
-end-diastolic volume is the preload
-systemic vascular resistance (afterload) is determined by the radius of arteries and degree of
vessel compliance
systolic blood pressure - correct answer -peak pressure during cardiac systole
diastolic blood pressure - correct answer -lowest pressure during cardiac diastole
SV (stroke volume) - correct answer -is the primary factor influencing systolic pressure
SVR (systemic vascular resistance) - correct answer -is the major determinant of diastolic
pressure
mean arterial pressure (MAP) - correct answer -is the calculated average pressure within the
circulatory system throughout the cardiac cycle
MAP - correct answer (2x diastolic pressure) + systolic pressure/3
Direct Measurement of blood pressure - correct answer -requires intra arterial catheter to
transduce arterial fluid pulsations into electrical signals (waveforms)
-catheter commonly placed in radial artery
-most accurate method of measuring blood pressure
Indirect measurement of blood pressure - correct answer -commonly measured via the brachial
artery using stethoscope and sphygmomanometer or automated oscillometric system
-requires careful technique to ensure accuracy
-auscultation of Korotkoff sounds
mechanisms of blood pressure - correct answer -affected by neural, humoral and renal factors
