What is the relationship between blood pressure, stroke
level, and cardiac output?
Resistance blood experiences when traveling through blood
vessels. I am going to tear this into two categories for the moment:
1. Cardiac output
2. Blood pressure.
If heart rate or
stroke volume were to increase, or decrease, the cardiac output would also
increase or decrease.
If cardiac output
increased, there is a resultant increase in the amount of blood being ejected
from the heart which would cause an increase in Blood pressure (BP). If cardiac
output falls, so does the BP. Total peripheral resistance can be affected by
vasoconstriction, vasodilatation, and plaque buildup in the blood vessels. When
vasoconstriction occurs, BP increases due to increased friction and force
exerted on the arterial walls. When vasodilatation occurs, the arteries widen,
and the BP decreases. And as you probably could have guessed, the plaque buildup
also increases the friction in arteries causing BP to increase.
You done simply explanation nice job Keep it up
