11 terms
Terms | Definitions |
|---|---|
 contraction of the heart chambers during which blood leaves the chambers; ventricular contraction | systole |
| relaxation of the heart chambers, during which they fill with blood; ventricular relaxation | diastole |
| complete round of cardiac systole and diastole | cardiac cycle |
| pulse pressure caused by the ejection of blood from the L ventricle into the aorta produces a pressure wave that travels rapidly along the arteries | pulse |
| tension of the blood within the blood vessels | blood pressure |
| Increased diameter of the arterioles | decrease blood pressure |
| hemorrhage | decrease blood pressure |
| increased blood viscosity | increase blood pressure |
| arteriosclerosis | increase blood pressure |
| increased cardiac output | increase blood pressure |
| increased pulse rate | increase blood pressure |
