17: Arterial system distribution

Question 1

Where is the greatest resistance to flow

Answer 1

Arterial circulation

Question 2

Physical factors determining characteristics of arterial pressure

Answer 2

Blood volume

arterial compliance

Question 3

Physiological factors determining characteristics of arterial pressure

Answer 3

Cardiac output

Vasculature resistance

Question 4

Short term regulation of arterial pressure

Answer 4

Venous return rate (arterial outflow)

arterial inflow

Question 5

Long term regulation of arterial pressure

Answer 5

renal regulation

Question 6

Decreased compliance

Answer 6

Greater rise in pressure for given volume in

Question 7

Inflow > outflow

Answer 7

increased blood volume

Question 8

Outflow > inflow

Answer 8

Decreased blood volume

Question 9

mean arterial pressure equasion

Answer 9

MAP = CO x TPR
MAP = diastolic pressure + (pressure sys - Pdia)/3

Question 10

Pulse pressure

Answer 10

Systolic - diastolic

Question 11

Determinate of systolic pressure

Answer 11

ventricular stroke volume
rate of ejection
compliance of aorta

Question 12

Determinate of diastolic pressue

Answer 12

TPR and heart rate
