Document Summary

The amount of pressure exerted on the vessel walls by the blood. Systolic pressure - the highest pressure within the arteries, during ventricular emptying. Blood pressure: diastolic pressure - the lowest pressure within the arteries, during ventricular filling. Mean arterial pressure: map = diastolic bp + 1/3(pulse pressure), where pulse pressure is systolic diastolic. Example: 120/80 = 80 + 1/3(120-80) = 80 + 40/3 = 93. 3. The amount of resistance to blood flow in the blood vessels: vascular resistance, caused by the friction between the blood and the vessel walls. Dependent on: blood viscosity, blood vessel length, cardiac output (co, co = stroke volume (sv) x heart rate (hr) How map is regulated: map is regulated by changes in vascular resistance and cardiac output. The amount of blood circulated through the blood vessels in 1 minute: example: sv = 70ml and hr = 60 bmp co = 70ml x 60bmp co = 4,200ml per min or 4. 2l/min.
