Q

Differences between arteries and veins

A

Arteries: carry blood away, thick walls, elastic, no valves, high pressure, no valves,
Veins: carry blood in, thin walls, less elastic, valves

Q

Capillary description

A

Very small lumen, wall made of a single layer of cells

17
Q

What is systole

A

Contraction of the heart

18
Q

What is diastole

A

Relaxation of the heart

19
Q

How many times does the cardiac cycle occur per minute

A

7 times

20
Q

Pressure of pulmonary and systemic circulation

A

Pulmonary - low pressure

Systemic - high pressure

21
Q

Adaptations of the aorta

A

Thick muscular wall, elastic

22
Q

What is compliance

A

The ability of a vessel to respond to an increase in pressure by distending or swelling

23
Q

Purpose of valves

A

Prevent back flow of blood

24
Q

What is cardiac output

A

The amount of blood pumped by each side of the heart in one minute

25
Q

What is stroke volume

A

The amount of blood pumped by each ventricle in one contraction

26
Q

Formula for CO

A

CO = HR X SV

27
Q

What is peripheral resistance

A

The resistance to flow in the arterial circulation determined in the main by the arterioles

28
Q

Formula for BP

A

BP = CO X PR

29
Q

Normal blood pressure range

A 
Systolic = 110-140 mm Hg
Diastolic = 75- 80 mm Hg
30
Q

Hypotension blood pressure range

A

Less than 110 mm Hg - low systolic

31
Q

Hypertension blood pressure range

A

Greater than 140 mm Hg - high systolic

32
Q

Formula for mean arterial pressure

A

MAP = SDP - 2(DBP)/3

33
Q

Formula for pulse pressure

A

PP = SBP - DBP
