Blood Pressure (BP)

Blood Pressure (BP)
Previous Image | Next Image
Description: Contraction of the ventricles generates BP
BP is determined by CO, blood volume, and vascular resistance
The higher the BP, the greater the blood flow

Starling’s Law of the Capillaries:
Under normal conditions, the volume of fluid and solutes reabsorbed is almost as large as the volume filtered
NFP = (BHP + IFOP) – (BCOP+ IFHP)

Factors Affecting Blood Flow
Blood flow is the volume of blood that flows through any tissue in a given time period (in mL/min)
Total blood flow is cardiac output (CO), the volume of blood that circulates through systemic (or pulmonary) blood vessels each minute
CO = heart rate (HR) × stroke volume (SV)
CO = mean arterial pressure (MAP) ÷ resistance (R)
