Hemodynamic: Factors Affecting Blood Flow

Question 0

Blood pressure and how it is determined.

Answer 0

Contraction of the ventricles. The hydrostatic pressure exerted by blood on the wall of a blood vessel. Is determined by cardiac output, blood volume and vascular resistance

Question 1

Blood flow

Answer 1

Is the volume of blood that flows through any tissue in a given time period

Question 2

Systemic vascular resistance

Answer 2

Total peripheral resistance TPR. Refers to all of the vascular resistance offered by systemic blood vessels

Question 3

Systolic blood pressure(SBP)

Answer 3

The highest arterial pressure during systole

Question 4

Diastolic blood pressure DBP

Answer 4

The lowest arterial pressure during systole

Question 5

Blood pressure is determined by three factors

Answer 5

Cardiac output, blood volume and vascular resistance

Question 6

An increase in blood pressure is causes by

Answer 6

An increase in cardiac output, blood volume and systemic vascular resistance( also called total peripheral resistance)
