has to do with splitting. This means blood coming out of the heart goes into the ascending aorta and then aortic arch and into the descending aorta. From here it goes into the abdominal aorta and has to do major bifurcation to get blood to both legs

are very small and just before the capillaries

are between arterioles and venules.

run between metarteriole and venules.

are small blood vessels that allow deoxygenated blood to return from capillary beds to larger blood vessels (veins)

is the connection between two blood vessels.

is the peak of the ventricular contraction pushing blood out of ventricles.

is the minimal pressure/ relaxation

is the difference between systolic and the diastolic is referred _____________. 120/80 would give a pulse pressure of 40

is the mean arterial pressure. This is calculated by taking diastolic pressure and adding 1/3 pulse pressure. 125/80 would give me a map pressure of 95. This would be beneficial because it shows the
flexibility of your arteries.

would be 140/90 or above. This is a concern become we worry about flexibility, and aneurisms.

would be anything below 90/60. They would have cold extremities and low energy

is when blood is flowing thru the arteries. The center flows faster because the outside edge has viscosity (thickness). The viscosity will cause dragging when it
makes contact with the vessel wall

is the flow that occurs normally at the heart valve and creates the heart sounds. Blood is spinning as it comes thru heart valves. This sound is abnormal in other vessels it indicates there is atherosclerosis or plaguing going on.

is abnormal heart sound that can be heard in carotid arteries (neck)

is the turbulent pressure

is the constant pressure

created by using a blood pressure cuff when taking someone’s blood pressure.
