Midterm | Rad Correlation (Circulatory System) Flashcards
The alternate expansion and recoil of elastic arteries aft er each systole of the left ventricle creates this traveling pressure wave
Pulse
8 Common pulse points
- Superficial temporal artery
- Facial artery
- Common carotid artery
- Brachial artery
- Femoral artery
- Popliteal artery
- Radial artery
- Dorsal artery of foot

Mandible (lower jawbone) on line with corners of mouth
Location of Common carotid artery
Lateral to larynx
Location of Brachial artery
Medial side of biceps brachii muscle
Location of Femoral artery
Inferior to inguinal ligament
Location of Popliteal artery
Posterior to knee
Location of Radial artery
Lateral aspect of wrist
Location of Dorsal artery of foot
Superior to instep of foot
Pressure in arteries generated by the left ventricle during systole and the pressure remaining in the arteries when the ventricle is in diastole.
Blood pressure
NORMAL BLOOD PRESSURE
120/80
Pressure exerted when blood is ejected into arteries
Systolic blood pressure
Normal systolic blood pressure
120mmHg or below
Pressure blood exerts within arteries between heartbeats
Diastolic blood pressure
An over-wire technique of catheter insertion to obtain safe percutaneous access to vessels and hollow organs
Seldinger Technique
Radiographic examination of thoracic aorta
THORACIC AORTOGRAPHY
