practical #2 Flashcards
pulse
rhythmic pressure oscillation that accompanies each heartbeat
where is the common carotid pulse
over common carotid artery
where is the radial pulse
on your wrist below your thumb
pulse pressure
the change in pressure from the diastolic level to systolic pressure
diastolic pressure
minimum blood pressure at the end of ventricular diastole
systolic pressure
peak blood pressure measured during ventricular systole
sounds of korotkoff
sounds that can be heard when taking blood pressure measurements with a sphygmomanometer
formulas for PP
systolic pressure – diastolic pressure
formula for MAP
diastolic + pulse pressure/3
what we used to measure blood pressure
sphygmomanometer
outermost tunics
tunica externa
composed of endothelium
tunica intima
contains smooth muscle and elastic tissue
tunica media
allows for dilation and constriction
tunica media
innermost tunic
tunica intima
two arteries formed by the division of the brachiocephalic trunk
subclavian artery and common carotid artery
first artery that branches off the ascending aorta, serves the heart
coronary artery
two paired arteries serving the brain
vertebral artery and internal carotid artery
largest artery of the body
aorta
artery that serves the adrenal gland
suprarenal artery
artery that serves the thigh
femoral artery
major artery serving the arm and generally used to determine blood pressure
brachial artery
artery that supplies the last half of the large intestine
inferior mesenteric artery
artery that serves the pelvis
internal iliac artery
artery that serves the spleen
splenic artery
artery that supplies the small intestine and proximal large intestine
superior mesenteric artery
terminal branches of the descending aorta
common iliac artery
arterial trunk that has three major branches that supply the liver, spleen, and stomach
celiac trunk
major artery serving the external structures of the skull
external carotid artery
artery serving the kidney
renal artery
first vessel to branch from the aortic arch
brachiocephalic artery
arteries that supply the upper limbs
axillary artery
artery that supplies the liver
hepatic artery
artery that supplies the stomach and lower esophagus
gastric artery
deep veins that drain the forearm
radial vein
vein that receives blood from the arm via the subclavian vein
brachiocephalic vain
vein that drains the kidney
renal vein
vein that drains the dural sinuses of the brain
internal jugular vein
drains the spleen
splenic vein
large veins that carries nutrient rich blood from the digestion organs to the liver for processing
hepatic partal vein
vein that connects the femoral vein to the common iliac vein
external iliac vein
drains the stomach walls
gastric vein
largest vein below the thorax
inferior vena cava
veins that form/drain into the hepatic portal vein
gastric vein, splenic vein, and superior mesenteric vein
longest superficial vein in the body
greatest saphenous vein
large veins in the arm draining into the axillary vein
brachial vein
drains blood from the pelvis
internal iliac vein
short vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the upper half of the body to the right atrium
superior vena cava
empties into the splenic vein from the descending and sigmoid colon and upper rectum
inferior mesenteric vein
the internal and external iliac veins combine to form
common iliac vein
the smallest saphenous and the popliteal veins join to become
femoral vein
vein that drains the liver
hepatic vein
drain that runs deep to the clavicle
subclavian vein
large superficial vein that drains the upper arm
cephalic vein
