Lab 9 Flashcards
What’s the number one cause of death for men and women in the US
Cardiovascular disease
What is elevated blood pressure at rest called
Hypertension
130/80
The period Of time from the end of one heartbeat through the end of the next beat is called
Cardiac cycle
The number of beats per minute is called
Heart rate or pulse rate
The time when heart rate is contracting is called
Systole
The time when cardiac muscles relax is called
Diastole
The amount of blood pumped I left ventricle during one contraction is
Stroke volume.
The amount of blood pumped by left ventricle in one minute is called
Cardiac output
CO= HR x SV
This portion of the blood circulation carries blood to and from most tissues of the body
Systemic circulation
(Left ventricle)
This portion of the blood circulation carries blood to and from the lungs
Pulmonary circulation
(Right ventricle)
The resistance to blood flow that is by arterioles and the smooth muscle cells is called
Total peripheral resistance
When smooth muscle cells contracts and decrease lumen diameter ______ occurs
Vasoconstriction
When relaxation of smooth muscle cells widens the lumen diameter _____ occurs
Vasodilation
This form of blood pressure is measured when the left ventricle is contracting
Systolic blood pressure
This form of blood pressure is measured when the left ventricle is relaxed and filling
Diastolic blood pressure
The difference between systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure is called
Pulse pressure
(SBP - DBP)
Using sound to measure blood pressure is called
Auscultation
What three measurements are used to assess cardiovascular health
Systolic blood pressure
diastolic blood pressure
mean arterial pressure
This is used to measure blood pressure?
when taking blood pressure
Sphygmomanometer
(BP cuff)
This is used for listening for the sounds of blood pressure?
Stethoscope
A stethoscope that uses both ears is called
Binaural
To palpitate means to
Touch
The first sound while measuring blood pressure is used to identify which type of blood pressure
Systolic
The disappearance of sound is used to identify what kind of blood pressure
Diastolic
The sounds one listens for while measuring blood pressure are called?
Korotkoff sounds
The blood that starts to pass through the partial compression squeezes through to swirl around.
This swirling is called?
Turbulent flow
When blood flow returns to normal this free flow is called what while measuring blood pressure
Laminar flow
Sound is only heard when there is _____ flow
Turbulent
The first phase of korotkov sounds represents (high or low) pressure in artery
High (systolic BP)
The fifth phase of korotkov sounds is marked by _____ and represents _____ blood pressure
Loss of sound
Diastolic blood pressure
Korotkoff sounds
First phase represents
First sound heard while measuring bp
systolic blood pressure
Korotkoff sounds
Second phase represents
Sound gets longer (dragged out) described as murmur
Korotkoff sounds
third phase represents
Sharp tapping sound
louder
Korotkoff sounds
Fourth phase represents
Muffled, quiet
Korotkoff sounds
Fifth phase represents
Sound disappears
diastolic blood pressure
What are the three major factors that affect blood pressure
1) cardiac output
2) total peripheral resistance
3) total blood volume
_______ are the site of greatest resistance because they Branch extensively and contain a large proportion of smooth muscle
Arterioles.
What are the target cells for altering heart rate (location and type of myocardial cell)
Conducting cells
Of the sinoatrial node
What is the neurotransmitter released at the target cells of the sympathetic system
Norepinephrine
