What is the goal of perfusion? Flood the tissues with high amounts of oxygen and nutrients.
Drag and drop the perfusion type to Central

Amount of blood pumped by the

to capillaries. _______
Modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors chart
can have serious consequences on
perfusion throughout the body. Identify in
the chart below which risk factors are
modifiable and which are nonmodifiable.
chart
Drag and drop the correct type of
perfusion to match its targeted body
parts.
Perfusion is a normal process requiring a chart
pump (in this case the heart) to create a
strong enough force to move the
blood through blood vessels for delivery
to the
tissues and cells throughout the body. We
use several different words to describe
specific things that are happening when
perfusion is interrupted. This allows us to
better guess what the problem may be.
Rearrange the definitions below to their
proper terms.
Review each of the ten conditions below chart
to identify which are related to poor
perfusion. Using the drop-down
menu
below each image, select whether each
condition does, or does not, cause
cell death due to poor perfusion.
Hypertension
Smokes one pack per day of cigarettes
What are some risk factors associated
Dyslipidemia
with a case of poor perfusion due to an
Atherosclerotic heart disease
artery blockage?
Age
Family history
