What is Systole? Squish heart, ↓blood flow to coronary artery, more extraction of O2
Which phase of Korotkoff is systole? Phase 1
What is Diastole? Fill heart, ↑blood flow to coronary artery, less extraction of O2
Which phase of Korotkoff is diastole? Phase 5
During systole or diastole is there more extraction of oxygen from blood? Systole
During systole or diastole there is increased blood flow to coronary artery? Diastole
Fill heart Diastole
Squish (contract) heart Systole
What are the only arteries with deoxygenated blood? Pulmonary arteries and umbilical arteries
What is distinctive of the Pulmonary arteries and the Umbilical arteries? Only two set of arteries with deoxygenated blood
What is the difference between a murmur and a bruit? A murmur occurs in the heart and, A bruit occurs in the blood vessels
Murmur occurs in the Heart
