Document Summary

Cardiac output: volume of blood being pumped by heart per minute. Perfusion: delivery of oxygen an nutrients to body"s cells via blood vessels. Postural hypotension: sudden fall in blood pressure: circulatory system: Red blood cells (hemoglobin within them) carry oxygen from the lungs to all body systems: Oxygenated blood leaves lungs via pulmonary veins. Carried into left atrium into left ventricle. To be pumped out of heart via aorta. Returns to right atrium, through right ventricle. And back into lungs to be oxygenated. (while moving through body, goes through arteries, smaller vessel= arterioles, smaller then that =capillaries) Deoxygenated blood sent through venous system back again through heart. Stroke volume: amount of blood pumped per beat. Cardiac output: total amount of of blood pumped per minute. Systolic blood pressure: pressure exerted against vessel walls when heart is pumping. Diastolic blood pressure: pressure against vessel walls when heart is not pumping: shock.
