elastic recoil, or resting, pressure that blood exerts constantly between each contraction

Question 21

pulse pressure

Answer 21

difference between systolic and diastolic
reflects SV

Question 22

MAP

Answer 22

mean arterial pressure
- pressure forcing blood into the tissues averaged over cardiac cycle

Question 23

CO

Answer 23

increased CO leads to increased BP

increased blood Viscosity, vasoconstriction. decreased vessel wall elasticity

Question 26

viscosity

Answer 26

thickness of blood

Answer 27

taken after high activity Narrow cuff loose cuff improper reinflation

Question 28

what can lead to falsely low BP

Answer 28

decrease inflation deflating cuff to quickly
