1. Lab Ex. 45 Pulse Rate & Blood Pressure

2. Pulse palpation

3. Pulse pressure
The pressure felt as the blood in the artery surges through the point that has pressure applied.

4. Pulse Points

5. Pulse points

6. Popliteal artery

7. Posterior tibial artery

8. Dorsalis pedis artery

9. Blood pressure

10. Sphygmomanometer

11. Systolic pressure
High Pressure due to ventricular contraction
Ex. 120 mmH

12. Diastolic pressure
Low pressure due to ventricular relaxation
Ex. 80 mmHg

13. Sounds of Korotkoff
The sounds heard through the stethoscope while taking blood pressure.
These are due to systolic pressure pushing blood past the cuff.

14. Stethoscope

15. Auscultation
The process of using the stethoscope to listen to each heart valve individually.

16. Murmur
A swooshing sound produced by the incomplete closing of a heart valve.

17. Cardiac cycle
The pattern formed by the altering pattern of atrial and ventricular contractions and relaxations.

18. BP = CO X PR
The formula to calculate Blood Pressure.

19. 120/80
Normal Blood Pressure

20. Effects of exercise
Exercise increases Blood pressure.
