Human Anatomy and Physiology I-
_______ 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
_______ 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.
________ is calculated as systolic pressure minus diastolic pressure, and indicates the additional
pressure in the artery when ventricles are contracting.
_______is the count of surges of pressure in an artery that occur with each contraction and
relaxation of the left ventricle.
Blood pressure
Systolic pressure
Diastolic pressure
Pulse pressure
Pulse
Compute the pulse pressure of a person with a BP of 120/90. Drag and drop the correct
numbers to complete the calculation.
30= 120 - 90
Which of the statements describes the proper way to measure a radial pulse?
Lightly press the tips of your index and middle finger over the lateral wrist, in line with the
patient's thumb
Drag the name of the artery that can be palpated at the marked pulse points.
