Ch. 15 (Quiz 3)

        Help!  

Question
Answer
isovolumetric contraction period   brief interval of rising ventricular tension, during which the heart volume and muscle fiber length remain unchanged ("wringing out" of blood in ventricles)  
🗑
formula for blood pressure   BLOOD PRESSURE = CARDIAC OUTPUT X TOTAL PERIPHERAL RESISTANCE  
🗑
auscultation method   a way to measure systolic and diastolic BP  
🗑
mean arterial pressure (MAP)   average BP values; MAP = DIASTOLIC BP + [.333(SYSTOLIC - DIASTOLIC BP)]  
🗑
precapillary sphincter   ring of smooth muscle that encircles the vessel at its origin; controls capillary diameter  
🗑
capacitance vessels   the veins: they serve as blood reservoirs (normally contain 65% of the total blood volume at rest)  
🗑
phlebitis   condition in which the venous wall becomes inflamed and progressively deteriorates  
🗑
thrombus   blood clot  
🗑
rate-pressure product (RPP)   index of relative cardiac work that relates closely to directly measured myocardial oxygen consumption and coronary blood flow in healthy subjects over a wide range of exercise intensities; RPP = Systolic BP X Heart Rate  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
