Is diastolic pressure equal to heart rate?
Systolic blood pressure is when the left ventricle contracts (first number), diastolic pressure is when the left ventricle relaxes (second number).
What is the pressure wave in arteries produced when the left ventricle contracts called?
"Blood pressure" is the pressure exerted by the blood against the walls of the arteries, maintained by the contraction of the left ventricle, the resistance of the arterioles and capillaries, the elasticity of the arterial walls, and by the viscosity and volume of the blood.
What happens to the muscles of the ventricle wall when the pressure in the ventricle is increasing?
Blood flows to the heart when the ventricle contracts
What is the pressure in the arteries during relaxation of the ventricles called?
Blood can only enter an artery, be it the aorta, when the left ventricle contracts, or the pulmonary arteries, when the right ventricle contracts, which both occur at the same time after ventricular systole which is contraction. Therefore, the answer is contract.
What is the pressure in the aorta against which the left ventricle must pump blood called?
Afterload
What heart chamber is called the high pressure pump?
Left Ventricle, because it pumps blood to the systemic circuit whereas the right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs.
What is the chamber containing csf in the brain called?
Enlarged chambers in the brain containing cerebrospinal fluid is called ventriculomegaly. If caused by increased CSF or increased CSF pressure, it is called hydrocephalus.They are called as ventricles. You have two lateral ventricles, one third ventricle and one forth ventricle.
The force exerted against the arterial walls when the heart contracts called the?
Systolic Pressure.
What is the highest pressure exerted by blood in your arteries called?
The upper Blood Pressure Number is the Systolic, Which is the force of blood in your arteries when you heart beats.
When the heart contracts it is called diastole and what increases?
During a diastole, the blood pressure momentarily increases.
What is the amount of blood ejected by the ventricle prior to the systole called?
Your answer is EDS - End Diastole Volume Keep in mind, there is a period of isovolumic contraction which is the first part of systole and during that phase no blood is actually ejected because the pressure in the ventricle hasn't exceeded the pressure in the aorta (I'm assuming we're talking about the left ventricle)
What wall separates the right ventricle from the left ventricle of the heart called?
The intraventricular septum separates the right ventricle from the left ventricle.
