QUESTIONS AND THEIR
RESPECTIVE ANSWERS
_______ is the force per unit area exerted on a blood vessel
wall by the blood, and it fluctuates with the alternating
contraction and relaxation of the ventricles.
_______ is the pressure in the arteries at the peak of
ventricular contraction, while _______ is the pressure in the
arteries during ventricular relaxation.
_______ can be calculated as diastolic pressure plus one-third
the pulse pressure because the ventricles spend more time in
diastole.
_______ is the calculated as systolic pressure minus diastolic
pressure and indicates the additional pressure in the artery
when ventricles are contracting.
Blood pressure
Systolic pressure
Diastolic pressure
MAP
Pulse pressure
Which of the following tools are most commonly used to
measure blood pressure indirectly?
, stethoscope;
sphygmomanometer
Recall from the video the steps of how to measure blood
pressure using a stethoscope and sphygmomanometer (blood
pressure cuff). Note that before measuring blood pressure in
lab, the subject should be in a seated position with his or her
sleeve rolled up to expose the arm. Place the steps in the
correct order from left to right.
Picture
Which of the following is the correct equation for the
calculation of mean arterial pressure (MAP)?
diastolic pressure + 1/3 pulse pressure
Compute the MAP of a person with a BP of 120/90. Drag and
drop the correct numbers to complete the calculation.
MAP= 90+ 1/3 (30) = 100
