exam 3 Flashcards
the pressure that blood exerts upon the walls the walls of blood vessels
blood pressure - to measure blood pressure, its systolic over diastolic
when heart contracts to send blood throughout the body
systolic (top value; s-squeeze)
heart is at rest, allows chambers to fill with blood
diastolic (bottom value; d-dead rest)
cardiac output
CO (mL/min) = heart rate (b/min) x stroke volume (mL/b)
average stroke volume
75 mL/b
normal blood pressure
<120/<80
prehypertension
120-129/ < 80
hypertension 1
130-139/ 80-89
hypertension 2
> 140/ >90
hypertensive
> 180/>120
sa node sends electrical signal across both atria
p
signal reaches av node
p-q
signal travels down bundle of HIS; ORS Complex ( atrias get ready to contract - depolarize and repolarize )
ORS
signal splits down left and right branches of HIS; ventricles get ready to contract
s-t
signal spreads through purkinje fibers; ventricles relax and prepare for next cycle
