exerted by the blood against the walls of blood vessels.
Cardiac output (x) SVR
sphygomomanometer (stethoscope) - correct
answers✅instrument used to measure blood pressure
Korotkoff sound - correct answers✅the first sound
heard as blood begins to flow back through the artery
systolic value - correct answers✅top number of the

Essential Hypertension - correct answers✅also known
as primary hypertension, is consistently elevated blood
pressure of an unknown cause. Majority of hypertension
(95% of patients)
Secondary Hypertension - correct answers✅high blood
pressure caused by the effects of another disease. (5% of
patients)
Orthostatic hypotension - correct answers✅When a
person experiences a severe drop in blood pressure on
rising to a standing position
Factors that can help reduce BP - correct answers✅-

, Portage Pharmacology Module 3 Exam
Question And Answers 2024
- Avoid Smoking
- Minimizing Stress
Cardiac Output - correct answers✅The volume of blood
ejected from the left ventricle of the heart in one minute.
Determined by heart rate and stroke volume
Systemic Vascular Resistance (SVR) - correct
answers✅Diameter of the blood vessel and the how
flexible (musculature) the blood vessel is
Peripheral Resistance - correct answers✅Resistance
generated by the blood flow throughout the arteries
Kidney Responds - correct answers✅Releases an
enzyme called renin and renin leads to further
vasoconstriction water and sodium retention and increase
in blood pressure
Antihypertensive Therapy - correct
answers✅Medications used to treat hypertension. Goal
is the reduction of cardiovascular and renal morbidity and
mortality
