Document Summary

Ejection of blood into the arterial system: maintains arterial blood volume and blood pressure. Map determined by cardiac output (amount of blood flowing into arteries) and peripheral resistance (controls how much blood flows out of the arteries) Maintenance of a high map is critical for flow and movement of blood throughout the system; unidirectional flow. There"s another reason why map needs to be high: our vascular system moves blood via arteries to capillaries to different organ system. It has the ability to change that flow to meet metabolic demands of each organ, but it can only do so when the map is high. Pressure associated with how full the tank is (low pressure, less water) Whether we open the faucet a little or a lot, flow will still be low; not much control over how much flow we"re getting and how much we"re directing the flow through the system.
