Term used when the heart is contracting

Term used when the heart is at rest

Surge of blood felt in the arteries due to contraction of the ventricle

The amount of blood that leaves the left ventricle each beat

The amount of blood that leaves the heart every minute

A measure of the force generated by contraction of the heart muscle with a given volume of blood in the vesicles

Blood volume remaining in the ventricles at the end of ventricular diastole

The sum of the formed elements and plasma volumes in the vascular system

The number of beats per minute your heart makes

Pressure squeezing blood out of abdominal veins and forced into thoracic veins

The volume of blood in each ventricle at the end of ventricular systole

The relatively longer the cardiac muscle fibers are stretched by filling, the greater the force of contraction

The volume of blood filling the relaxed ventricles prior to their contraction

The force required to open the semilunar valves to eject blood from the ventricles

Contraction of limb muscles as occurs during normal activity that promotes venous return by the pumping action on veins within muscle

The difficulty with which the molecules of a fluid flow past one another

The maximum pressure achieved during ventricular contraction

The lowest pressure that remains in the arteries before the next ventricular contraction

Refers to pressure in arteries supplied by branches of the aorta

Force produced from friction between the blood and the walls of the blood vessels

Pressure in the right atrium where all veins drain into; affects the pressure in the peripheral veins
