New cards

Flow equation

pressure difference/resitance

2
New cards

Why are arterioles important to resistance?

their smooth muscle changes the vessel radius, they are the largest controllable resistance

3
New cards

Increasing CO increases _.

pressure because more blood is forced into the arteries and arterioles than

can flow out over a given period of time

4
New cards

Pulse pressure

systolic pressure - diastolic pressure

5
New cards

MAP equation

diastolic pressure + 1/3 pulse pressure
