Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Blood pressure is the pressure on the walls of blood vessels exerted by the blood. The normal blood pressure for an adult should be around 120 mm Hg over 80 mm Hg. 120 represents the systolic pressure and 80 represent the diastolic pressure of the blood.

A patient was admitted to the hospital with chest pains. On admission, his pulse was 110 and his blood pressure was 96/64. According to his history, his normal pulse rate is usually between 80 and 88 and his blood pressure runs from 120/70 to 130/80.
1. Are these changes in Blood Pressure and Heart Rate a reason for concern? Why or why not?
Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart. Veins carry deoxygenated blood to the heart. Correct?
The above is true except for the pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein...correct?

- Part Two: Describe the TWO blood vessel pathways needed to get food to the cells in your FINGERS from the LIVER and to the KIDNEYS from the LIVER, so that food can be obtained AND waste can be removed. Begin at the sinusoids of the liver (capillaries) and end at capillaries at the desired stopping place. Path from LIVER to FINGERS (so fingers can get food! That's why you ate in the first place!): Path from LIVER to KIDNEYS (so kidneys can get rid of waste liver has produced. Remember that beverage and the sandwich? There's probably preservatives and other molecules you absorb but can't use.):arrow_forwardBob is sitting outside on a warm day and is sweating profusely. His friend Mary wants to practice taking blood pressures, and he agrees to play patient. Mary finds that Bob’s blood pressure is elevated, even though he is resting and has lost fluid from sweating. (She reasons that fluid loss should lower blood volume and, thus, blood pressure.) Mary asks you why Bob’s blood pressure is high instead of low.

- During public speaking, there are many cardiovascular changes that occur before, during and after speaking. Blood pressure (BP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) are high during a speech. After the speech, BP and MAP drop back to normal. How has resistance in the vasculature for gastrointestinal blood flow and cerebral blood flow changed that allows this drop? For this part of the question you will reference what happens for changes in the brain vasculature. Resistance in the cerebral vasculature is high during the speech and low after the speech Resistance in the cerebral vasculature is low during the speech and high after the speech Resistance in the cerebral vasculature remains the same during and after the speecharrow_forwardOne of your friends has anemia.
