A

regulate its own blood flow, to a great extent, independently of flow to other tissues.

32
Q

Increases in any of the blood vessels increases the _______ ______ _______

A

Total vascular resistance

33

38
Q

39
Q

Turbulence _______ ____ at any given perfusion pressure

A

decreases flow

40
Q

A

stethoscope

41
Q

Of the formed elements in blood, ____ cells have the greatest effect on viscosity

A

RED

42
Q

Changes in _________ are the primary means by which blood flow is regulated within organs

A

Resistance

43
Q

The difference between SBP and DBP is the

A

Pulse pressure

44
Q

Strictly speaking, _____ is the pressure at the junction of the vena cava and the right atrium

A

CVP

45
Q

Normal CVP

A

1-7 mmHg

46
Q

CVP reflects the driving force for filling the right atrium and ____ _____

A

right ventricle

47
Q

Describe the A wave on the CVP

A

a is for atrium… this is the right atrial contraction.
It correlates with the P wave on the ECG.
It disappears with atrial fibrillatio

48
Q

Describe the C wave on the CVP

A

c is for cusp… this is the cusp of the tricuspid valve, protruding backwards through the atrium, as the right ventricle begins to contract.
It correlates with the end of the QRS complex on the ECG

49
Q

Describe the V wave on the CVP

A

As blood fills the right atrium, it hits the tricuspid valve and this is the back-pressure wave
It happens after the T wave on the ECG
It also gives an impression of tricuspid competence.
A huge V wave is suggestive of tricuspid regurgitation,
