What are anastomosis? |
Arterioles or arteries that interconnect two parallel arteries or arterioles |
|
What are capillary beds? |
-Network of capillaries -Carries nutrients dissolved from the blood into tissue fluid -Waste dissolved from tissue into blood |

|
What is the blood pressure in capillaries? |
About 25 mmHg |
|
What is the blood pressure in veins? |
About 5 mmHg |
|
How do you calculate mean arterial pressure? |
MAP = 1/3 Systolic BP(120) + 2/3 Diastolic BP(80) |
|
How much time does body spend in ventricular systole and ventricular diastole? |
1/3 & 2/3 of the time |
|
What is pulse pressure? |
The difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure. PP=120-80 PP=40mmHg |
|
What is blood pressure gradient? |
Difference in blood pressure on two ends of a blood vessel or circuit. *Drives blood flow* |
