A-
Agglutination in the A, B, and D fields would indicate which blood type?
AB+
Is type O blood an ideal donor for type A blood?
No, but it will work in a pinch
In blood pressure, what is the top number called?
Systolic
In blood pressure, what is the bottom number called?
Diastolic
To what does systolic blood pressure correspond?
The pressure of blood hitting the wall of the artery during ventricular contraction
To what does diastolic blood pressure correspond?
The pressure of blood hitting the wall of the artery during ventricular relaxation
To which artery do we typically listen when taking blood pressure?
Brachial
When we measure blood pressure, we are working with the pressure of blood after it is ejected from which ventricle?
The left ventricle
What is the term for high blood pressure?
Hypertension
What numerical value qualifies someone for a hypertension diagnosis?
