Q

TPR BP

A

T – Temperature (in Farenheit or Celcius)

P – Pulse (beats per minute)

R – Respirations (breaths per minute)

BP – Blood Pressure (systolic/diastolic, mm of Hg)

Q

Factors Controlling BP

Cardiac Output(incr/decr)
Vascular resistance (incr/decr)
Vol (incr/decr)
Viscocity (incr)

Elasticity of arterial walls(incr rigidity)

A

Notes: Arthrosclerosis is the build up of plaque, narrows the vessel walls (vasoconstricts)

Arterial sclerosis: hardening of artery walls with aging(elasticity is lost)
