25
inflatable rubber bag (cuff), rubber bulb for introducing air, mercury or anaeroid manometer for measuring pressure in the cuff
parts of the sphygmomanometer
26
where human blood pressure is most commonly measured
brachial artery of the upper arm
27
convenient position and same level as the heart to provide approximate pressure of the aorta
reason for using brachial artery to measure BP
28
palpate the radial artery pulse in the wrist
palpatory method
29
the pressure when the radial pulse first appears
systolic blood pressure in the palpatory method
30
cannot be used to measure the diastolic pressure
disadvantage of the palpatory method
31
stethoscope used to listen to changes in sounds from the brachial artery
auscultatory method
32
as the pressure decreases, you can hear four phases of sound changes
auscultatory method
33
four phases of sounds in the auscultatory method
Korotkoff sounds
34
fairly sharp thudding sound that increases in intensity for next 10 mmHg of pressure drop- first sound that appears is the systolic pressure
phase 1
35
sound becomes a softer murmur during the next 10-15 mmHg drop in pressure
phase 2
36
sounds becomes louder again and have a sharper thudding during the next 10-15 mmHg of pressure drop
phase 3
37
sounds become suddenly muffled and reduce in intensity- this marks the diastolic pressure- and continues for another 5 mmHg in pressure drop after which all sound disappears
phase 4
38
the point where the sound completely ceases in the auscultatory method
end diastolic pressure
39
= mean blood pressure / cardiac output
formula for total peripheral resistance
40
= [systolic pressure + (2 x diastolic pressure)] / 3 // (pulse pressure x heart rate)
formula for estimation of total peripheral resistance
41
vasoconstriction of blood vessels
increase in total peripheral resistance
42
vasodilation of blood vessels
decrease in total peripheral resistance
43
used to demonstrate the effect of a sensory stimulus (cold) on blood pressure
the cold pressor test
44
increase in blood pressure (both systolic and diastolic) as result to stimulus
normal reflex response to a cold stimulus
45
1.056
specific gravity of blood
46
13.6
specific gravity of mercury (Hg)
47
= (specific gravity of blood) x (atrial pressure in mm) / (specific gravity of Hg)
formula for venous pressure
48
unlike arteriole pressure, this is steady and changes very little
venous pressure
49
adaptation to prevent blood from flowing backwards in veins where gravity opposes blood flow
venous valves
50
economic utilization of oxygen through a depression in metabolism and cardiovascular adjustments when submerged under water for prolonged periods
diving bradycardia
51
slowing of the heart -associated with a reduction of circulation to all regions of the body except vital areas such as the heart and brain
bradycardia
52
receptors in the __ trigger the trigeminal nerve which tells the body to slow down the heart rate to decrease the body's oxygen requirement- survival mechanism
nose
53
-measures endurance in stepping up and down a bench and the pulse reaction to this exercise (20 inches for men, 16 inches for women)
the harvard step test
54
general endurance- not strength, muscular endurance, cardiorespiratoy endurance
what the harvard step test measures
55
= (Duration of exercise in seconds x 100) / 2 x (the sum of the three pulse counts in recovery)
formula for the index of physical fitness
56
below 55 in index of physical fitness
poor physical condition
57
55-64 in index of physical fitness
low average
58
65-79 in index of physical fitness
high average
59
80-90 in index of physical fitness
good
60
above 90 in index of physical fitness
excellent
61
based on the observation that for the same number of steps, a less fit person will have a higher pulse rate during the 2 minute recovery period immediately after exercise
the tuttle pulse-ratio test
62
the total number of pulse beats counted for one minute
Tuttle's pulse ratio
63
determined by the amount of exercise required to obtain a 2.5 pulse ratio
person's cardiovascular efficiency
64
useful in the detection of pathological hearts and heart abnormalities
further use of the tuttle pulse-ratio test
65

67
