Answer 19

cardiac output

Question 20

Cardiac output is the amount of blood pumped in ____________________

Answer 20

1 minute

Question 21

________________ blood pressures is estimated rather than measured

Answer 21

venous

Question 22

________________ can indicate vascular problems

Answer 22

skin color

Question 23

Reclining 2-3 min (decreases/increases) BP and (decreases/increases) heart Rate…. why?

Answer 23

decreases, decreases, due to low gravity

Question 24

Immediately standing after resting (decreases/increases) BP and (decreases/increases) heart Rate…. why?

Answer 24

decreases, increases, CO decreases because venous return decreases for a second

Question 25

Exercising (decreases/increases) BP and (decreases/increases) heart Rate.... why?

Answer 25

increases, increases, because cardiac output increases

Question 26

Submersion in cold water (decreases/increases) BP and (decreases/increases) heart Rate.... why?

Answer 26

increases, increases, because the blood vessels constrict

Question 27

What are 4 factors that affect CO and PR?

Answer 27

1. vasoconstriction/vasodilation 2. condition of blood vessels 3. viscosity of blood 4 additional forces (gravity)

Question 28

What are the 3 factors that affecting peripheral resistance?

Answer 28

1. arteriole diameter 2. vessel length 3. blood viscosity

Question 29

What are the 5 factors that affecting cardiac output?

Answer 29

1. blood volume 2. vein diameter 3. venous return 4. stroke volume 5. heart rate

Question 30

Answer 30

radial artery
