Cards

Term
tunica intima
Definition

lines lumen of a vessel

single thin layer of endothelial cells

Term
tunica Media
Definition

more bulky middle coat and is compoased primarily of smooth muscle and elastin

the smooth muscle is under control of the sympathetic nervous system and plays an acitve role in regulating the diameter of blood vessels

Term
tunica externa
Definition

outermost tunic

composed primarily of areolar or fibrous connective tissue

function is support and protect

Term
temporal artery
Definition

anterior to the ear, in the temple region

(pulse point)

Term
facial artery
Definition
when teeth are clenched, this artery palpates just anterior to the masseter muscle on the mandible
Term
common carotid artery
Definition

at the side of the neck

under mandible

(pulse points)

Term
brachial artery
Definition
in antecubital fossa, where it bifurcates into radial and ulnar arteries
Term
radial artery
Definition
runs down the forearm along the side of the thumb, branches off of the brachial artery
Term
pulse
Definition
refers to the alternating surges of pressure in an artery that occur with each contraction and relaxation of the left ventricle
Term
pulse pressure
Definition
the difference between systolic and diastolic pressure
Term
femoral artery
Definition
in the groin
Term
popliteal artery
Definition
at the back of the knee
Term
posterior tibial artery
Definition
just above the medial malleolus
Term
dorsalis pedis artery
Definition
artery on the dorsum of the foot
Term
apical pulse
Definition

counting the actual number of heartbeats

may be slightly faster than radial

Term
pulse deficit
Definition
any large difference between the apical pulse and the radial pulse
Term
radial pulse
Definition

taken from the radial artery

on wrist by thumb

Term
blood pressure
Definition

BP

the pressure the blood exerts against any unit area of the blood vessel walls

generally measured in the arteries

Term
systolic pressure
Definition
the pressure in the arteries at the peak of ventricular ejection
Term
diastolic pressure
Definition
reflects the pressure during ventricular relaxation
Term
Blood pressure
Definition

reported in mm Hg

systolic/diastolic

Term

MAP

mean arterial pressure

 

Definition

describes an average blood pressure in an individual

defined as the average arterial pressure during a single cardiac cycle

diastolic + (pulse pressure/3)

Term
index of physical fitness
Definition

(Duration of exercise in seconds) X 100 /

2 X (sum of 3 pulse counts during recovery)
