1 Overview of the CVS Flashcards
1
Q
What is the value for cardiac output and what is this determined by?
A
5L/min
stroke volume (70ml) Heart Rate (70bpm)
2
Q
What is the pulse pressure?
A
the difference between diastolic and systolic pressure (around 40mmHg)
3
Q
how do we calculate mean pressure?
A
we add 1/3 of the pulse pressure to the diastolic pressure
4
Q
What is blood pressure equal to?
A
cardiac output x total peripheral resistance
5
Q
How can the ANS increase blood pressure?
A
increase cardiac output
increase vascular contraction
