to measure arterial blood pressure. Questions: 1. My blood pressure for this lab was 123/78. These numbers are normal‚ compared to the normal rating of 120/80. My pulse pressure was 45 (SP – DP). My mean arterial pressure was 93 (DP + 1/3 (SP – DP). 2. Mean arterial blood pressure is determined by cardiac output and total vascular resistance. The mathematical equation for mean arterial blood pressure is equal to cardiac output x total vascular resistance. The amount of blood pumped out of the heart

women‚ it is the leading cause of death in the United States. Coronary arteries carry blood to the heart. CAD is caused by a thickening of these arteries‚ called atherosclerosis. Plaque‚ a substance containing cholesterol and other fatty substances‚ builds up inside the thickened walls of the arteries‚ which slows or blocks blood flow to the heart. In result‚ the heart cannot receive the proper oxygen or blood that it needs and can lead to a heart attack or heart failure. The disease can affect the

separated by a valve‚ which prevents the backflow of blood. Blood enters the heart through the inferior and superior vena cava carrying deoxygenated blood. The vena cava then empties into the right atrium. When the right ventricle is relaxed‚ blood flows from the atrium into the right ventricle. The blood is then pushed through the pulmonary semilunar valve into the pulmonary artery where it carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs for oxygenation. The blood then flows back into the heart from the lungs
