Blood pressure resistance and flow WK8 L4 Flashcards
WHAT ARE THE SOUNDS YOU ARE HEARING WHEN TAKING BLOOD PRESSURE?
THE TURBULENT PRESSURE OF BLOOD FLOW
WHAT IS MEAN ARTERIAL PRESSURE?
AVERAGE BLOOD PRESSURE IN VESSELS DURING A SINGLE CARDIAC CYCLE
WHAT IS PULSE PRESSURE?
THE PRESSURE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SYSTOLIC AND DIASTOLIC BLOOD PRESSURE - INCREASE IN PRESSURE WAVE CAUSED BY VENTRICULAR CONTRACTION
HOW IS MEAN ARTERIAL PRESSURE CALCULATED?
BY TAKING DIASTOLIC PRESSURE AND ADDING 1/3RD OF PULSE PRESSURE TO DIASTOLIC PRESSURE
WHAT EFFECTS MEAN ARTERIAL PRESSURE?
GRAVITY
WHY DOES GRAVITY EFFECT MEAN ARTERIAL PRESSURE?
BLOOD POOLING AND PRESSURE DUE TO GRAVITY
WHAT IS PERIPHERAL RESISTANCE?
THE RESISTANCE OF ARTERIES TO BLOOD FLOW WHCIH INCREASES DURING DIALATION
WHAT IS PERIPHERAL RESISTANCE INFLUENCED BY?
BLOOD VISCOSITY - THICKNESS / WATERY
VESSEL LENGTH
VESSEL RADIUS / VASODIALATION
WHY DOES BLOOD VISCOSITY EFFECT PERIPHERAL RESISTANCE?
THE THICKER THE BLOOD THE GREATER THE RESISTANCE AND LESS BLOOD FLOW.
THE THINNER THE BLOOD THE LOWER THE RESISTANCE AND MORE BLOOD FLOW
WHY DOES VESSEL LENGTH EFFECT PERIPHERAL RESISTANCE
PRESSURE AND LOW INCREASE WITH DISTANCE - THE LONGER THE VESSEL THE MORE RESISTANCE AND FRICTION AS THE BLOOD IS IN CONTACT WITH VESSELL WALL FOR A LONGER DURATION
WHY DOES VESSEL RADIUS AFFECT PERIPHERAL RESISTANCE
WHEN VESSELLS DIALATE THE BLOOD PRESSURE BECOMES WEAKER - WHEN VESSELS CONSTRICT THE PRESSURE BECOMES GREATER
WHAT IS AUTO REGULATION?
SMOOTH MUSCLE WITHIN VESSELL WALLS TO REGULATE BLOOD FLOW
WHAT ARE THE HORMONES THAT REGULATE BLOOD PRESSURE?
VASOPRESSIN ALDOSTERONE RENIN ANGIOTENSIN NOREPINHEPHRINE ADREANALINE ENODTHELIN
WHAT DOES VASOPRESSIN DO?
REGULATES THE TONICITY OF BLOOD
WHAT DOES ALDOSTERONE DO?
BALANCE THE LEVELS OF SODIUM AND POTASSIUM IN THE BLOOD
