It is indicative of the degree of vibration set up in the aorta by the ventricular contraction during rapid ejection phase of cardiac cycle.

What equation relates to flow pressure and resistance to define mean arterial pressure?
the equation for mean arterial pressure is MAP=(1/3) PP (pulse pressure) + Diastolic example: if someone's blood pressure is 125/65, then Pulse Pressure is 60 now that you have this info you can calculate MAP (mean arterial pressure) MAP= (1/3) 60 + 65 MAP= 85
What are conductance vessels?
Conductance vessels distribute blood to and from the tissues. Arterial vessels also damp the pulse prssure, and veins contribute to venous capacitance.
Where can you found the 11 pulses?
Temporal, Radial, Dorsalis Pedis, Anterior Tibial, Apical pulse, Ulnar pulse, brachial pulse, Carotid pulse, Femoral pulse, Popliteal pulse, Posterior Tibialis pulse.
What is the pulse in your wrist called?
Tibial pulse or more technically the Tibialis posterior pulse.
What is the pulse point at knee called?
popliteal pulse
Where to find the arterial pulse of a two year old?
In the groin
Beat of the heart as felt through the arterial walls?
Pulse
This arterial pulse weakness can be directly attributed to a decreased?
cardiac output
Apical pulse versus arterial pulse?
An arterial pulse is one which is taken over top of an artery, ex. Radial, Femoral, Carotid pulse, ect. An Apical pulse is one taken in between the 4th or 5th left intercostal space. It isn't taken from an artery, but from below the heart itself.(Apex of the heart) Source: I'm a paramedic.
What do you call the expansion and contraction of the arterial walls that can be felt in all the arteries near the surface of the skin?
The expansion and contraction of the arterial walls is the pulse.
What has the author Michael F O'Rourke written?
Michael F. O'Rourke has written: 'The arterial pulse' -- subject(s): Arteries, Measurement, Physiology, Pulse 'Arterial function in health and disease' -- subject(s): Arteries, Diseases
Why cerebral oximeter normal value is much less than pulse oximeter?
cerebral oxygen saturation are weighted venous samples (70% venous, 30% arterial) Pulse oximeter values are based on arterial oxygen saturations.
What produces the pulse rate?
Both atria and ventricles contracts rythmically to propagate blood forward. Contraction of the left ventrical forces the boold in systemic circulation. The wave of arterial dilatation moves forward across the arterial system to produce pulse.
What are the characteristics of a normal pulse rate for humans?
The normal characteristics of the human pulse are volume: the force or strength of the pulse, rhythm: refers to the regularity, or equal spacing of the beats, of the pulse, and the condition of the arterial wall: it should feel elastic and soft.
What is the reason you feel a pulse?
This is the force of the blood being pumped in an artery pressing against the arterial walls.
What is a bar graph of pulse?
Makaklokiam Yep. LOL NOOB
Discuss the significance artery and vein difference when taking a pulse?
You cannot generally take a pulse from a vein.
