243 EXAM 3

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
systolic pressure   highest pressure, contraction  
🗑
diastolic pressure   low pressure, relax and fill  
🗑
mean arterial pressure   average pressure in arterial system during contraction and relaxation  
🗑
physical factors influencing blood pressure   blood volume, elastic properties of blood vessels  
🗑
physiologic influences of blood pressure   cardiac output, systemic vascular resistance  
🗑
systemic vascular resistance   influenced by ability of blood vessels to constrict and dilate  
🗑
determinants of CO   heart rate, contractility, preload and afterload  
🗑
afterload   ejection of blood from ventricle  
🗑
increased afterload   decrease stroke volume  
🗑
short term BP regulation   neural mechanisms (SNS), humoral (hormone) mechanisms  
🗑
long term BP regulation   renal mechanisms  
🗑
paracrine mediators   nitric oxide helps vessels relax and dilate  
🗑
baroreceptors   sense volume and pressure, signal SNS  
🗑
primary hypertension   increased SNS activity, increased sodium, excess alcohol  
🗑
heredity hypertension - primary   genetic factors, environmental, demographic  
🗑
water and sodium retention   high sodium intake activates pressor mechanisms and causes water retention  
🗑
altered renin aldosterone mechanism   contribute to maintenance and development of hypertension  
🗑
stress and increased SNS activity   increases vasoconstriction, increased HR, increased renin release  
🗑
secondary hypertension   elevation due to another disorder, ie kidney disease  
🗑
contributing factors to hypertension   coarctation of aorta, renal disease, endocrine and neurological disorder, hyperthyroidism, polycythemia, sleep apnea, Cushing syndrome  
🗑
pheochromocytoma   tumor on adrenal gland  
🗑
malignant hypertension   accelerated form of hypertension, rupture/ stroke complications  
🗑
hypertension clinical manifestations   asymptomatic until severe and target organ disease occurs, palpitations, angina, dizziness, fatigue, dyspnea, headache  
🗑
hypertension heart damage   left ventricular hypertrophy  
🗑
hypertension brain damage   dementia and cognitive impairment  
🗑
hypertension peripheral vascular   atherosclerosis, pressure pushes on vessels, inner endothelial is damaged; buildup of plaque, vessels can not constrict/ dilate  
🗑
hypertension kidney damage   nephrosclerosis  
🗑
hypertensive heart disease   coronary artery disease, left ventricular hypertrophy, heart failure  
🗑
blood pressure readings   highest early in morning, lowest at night  
🗑
hypertension older adults   lowest rates of BP control, over age of 65  
🗑
hypertension minorities   non hispanic black significantly high  
🗑
socioeconomic factors contributing to hypertension   substandard insurance, poor access to healthcare  
🗑
pregnancy induced hypertension   toxemia of pregnancy, preeclampsia - young age, first pregnancy, multiple fetuses, diabetic  
🗑
manifestations of pregnancy hypertension   proteinuria, edema, sudden weight gain, vision change, nausea  
🗑
eclampsia   seizure  
🗑
HELLP syndrome   risk for hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, DIC  
🗑
hypertension in children   kidney abnormalities, coarctation of aorta, pheochromocytoma and adrenal cortical disorders  
🗑
infants and hypertension   umbilical catheterization and renal artery obstruction caused by thrombosis  
🗑
orthostatic hypotension   decrease in blood pressure when standing  
🗑
causes of orthostatic hypotension   decrease in venous return to the heart due to lower extremity pooling, response to decreased CO  
🗑
condition that decreases vascular volume   dehydration  
🗑
conditions that impair muscle pump function   bed rest, spinal injury  
🗑
conditions that interfere with cardiovascular reflexes   medications, ANS disorders, baroreflex function  
🗑
hypovolemia   excessive use of diuretics, diaphoresis, loss of GI fluid through vomitting and diarrhea  
🗑
hypovolemia manifestations   dizziness, visual changes, head and neck discomfort, poor concentration, tremor, presyncope and syncope  
🗑
syncope   fainting, loss of consciousness  
🗑


   

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.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
