Answer 3

Phonocardiogram

Question 4

• produced at the beginning of systole when the atrioventricular (A-V) valves
  close and the semilunar (S-L) valves open. This has a lower pitched tone commonly termed
  the “lub” sound of the heartbeat.

Answer 4

1st heart sound

Question 5

occurs during the end of systole and is produced by the closure of the S-L
valves, the opening of the A-V valves, and the resulting vibrations in the arteries and
ventricles. Due to the higher blood pressures in the arteries the sound produced is higher
pitched. It is commonly referred to as the “dub” sound

Answer 5

2nd heart sound

Question 6

occurs during the rapid filling of the ventricles after the A-V valves open
and is probably produced by vibrations of the ventricular walls.

Answer 6

3rd heart sound

Question 7

occurs at the time of atrial contraction and is probably due to the
accelerated rush of blood into the ventricles.

useful

40mm Hg.

Answer 11

• Pulse Pressure:

Question 12

Diastolic pressure + 1/3 of the pulse pressure. This is the average effective
pressure forcing blood through the circulatory system. Normal value is 96-100mm Hg

Answer 12

Mean Blood Pressure:

inserted into the artery and the direct, head-on pressure of the blood is measured with a transducer or
mercury manometer.

Answer 21

direct method

Question 22

, pressure is applied externally to an artery and the pressure is
determined by listening to arterial sounds (using a stethoscope) below the point where the pressure is
applied.

Answer 22

indirect method

Question 23

the detection of the sounds is termed “auscultation.

Answer 23

auscultatory method

Question 24

in which one simply palpates or feels
the pulse as pressure is applied to the artery.

Answer 24

palpatory method,

Question 25

In either of these indirect methods, pressure is applied to the
artery using an instrument called the

Answer 25

sphygmomanometer

Question 26

Human blood pressure is most commonly measured in the …… of the upper arm.

Answer 26

brachial artery

Question 27

the pressure when the radial pulse first reappears–

Answer 27

systolic blood pressure (the highest pressure in the systemic artery)

Question 28

a stethoscope
is used to listen to the changes in sounds from the

Answer 28

brachial artery

Question 29

As the pressure decreases you
will be able to hear four phases of sound changes; these were first reported by Korotkoff in 1905
and are called the

Answer 29

Korotkoff sounds:

Question 30

Appearance of a fairly sharp thudding sound which increases in intensity during
the next 10mm Hg of pressure drop. The pressure when the sound first appears is the
systolic pressure

Answer 30

phase 1

Question 31

The sounds become a softer murmur during the next 10-15 mm Hg drop in
pressure.

Answer 31

phase 2

Question 32

The sounds become louder again and have a sharper thudding quality during the
next 10-15 mm Hg of pressure drop.

Answer 32

phase 3

Question 33

The sounds suddenly become muffled and reduced in intensity. The pressure at
this point is termed the diastolic pressure. This muffled sound continues for another
5 mm Hg pressure drop, after which all sound disappears. The point where the sound
ceases completely is called the end diastolic pressure. It is sometimes recorded along
with the systolic and diastolic pressures in this manner: 120/80/75.
