Question 1

what is MAP?

Answer 1

mean arterial pressure

the approximation of the avg BP in the aorta

Question 2

what is the equation for MAP?

Answer 2

MAP = CO x PR
where CO is cardiac output
PR is peripheral resistance

Question 3

what is the equation for CO?

Answer 3

cardiac output = SV x HR

where SV is stroke volume

Question 4

what is the strove volume?

Answer 4

the blood pumped during each heart beat

Question 5

what is the cardiac output?

Answer 5

the amount of blood pumped by the blood per minute

Question 6

what is peripheral resistatnce?

Answer 6

total resistance against which blood must be pumped
