Blood Pressure Assignment

1.Define:
a.cardiac output:
b.stroke volume:
c.end systolic volume:
d.end diastolic volume:
e.resistance:
f.venous return:
g.blood pressure:
h.cardioacceleratory center:
i.cardioinhibitory center:
j.parasympathetic nervous system
k.sympathetic nervous system
l.pulse rate:
m.blood pressure:
n.systolic pressure:
o. diastolic pressure:
2.Relate how the terms above (b – k) will impact cardiac output (CO).
3.How are pulse rate and blood pressure related?
4.Perform the following experiment on yourself or family member.
a.Take your baseline pulse rate using the radial pulse technique- this should be done sitting down without talking.
b.Exercise (run, do jumping jacks, run stairs, etc.- anything that will get your heart rate up!!) for five minutes. After five minutes, take your pulse rate right away.
