42
What is blood pressure and where is it measured
Blood pressure is defined as the pressure blood exerts against the vessels walls. Generally it is measured in the arteries. Because the heart artery alternatively contracts and relaxes the rhythmic flow of blood in the arteries causes blood pressure to rise and fall during each beat thus you can obtain two values systolic pressure and diastolic pressure. Both reported in millimeters of mercury with the systolic value appearing first.
43
What is systolic pressure
Pressure at the peak of ventricular ejection
44
What is diastolic pressure
Pressure during ventricular relaxation
45
Does the Doppler blood pressure device measure
The Doppler blood pressure device measures systolic pressure only. A cuff is inflated around an animals distal limb or tail so that the inflated pressure is higher than the systolic pressure. The pressure stops circulation in the limb so that no more sounds are heard. Slowly the cuff is deflated. When the sounds of blood flow return this value is recorded as the systolic pressure

It should be 40% of the leg width
48
What does the pulse oximetry machine do
Noninvasive method used to determine O2 saturation in the blood.
