What is your heart doing when it is in systole?
Diastole is when a given chamber of the heart is relaxing. There is atrial diastole and ventricular diastole. Most of the time when talking about diastole we are referring to the ventricular because that is when we measure the diastolic (low) pressure in your systemic arteries, usually the brachial artery.
The arteries of the pulmonary circulation differ from those of the systemic circulation in that they carry?
The arteries of the pulmonary circulation differ from those of the systemic circulation in that they carry?
What's the blood to systemic arteries?
There is more blood in the systemic circuit than the pulmonary circuit. Even the arterial portion of the systemic circuit is larger than the entire pulmonary circuit, because the pulmonary circuit only delivers blood to the lungs, and the systemic circuit supplies the rest of the body.
The major artery from which all systemic arteries branch off?
Aorta
What condition is indicated by the structural difference between systemic and pulmonary arteries?
Elatic recoil.
The blood pressure in the systemic arteries is greatest during what?
ventricular systole
When is the blood pressure in systemic arteries greatest?
when it just come out from the heart at the aorta
When is blood pressure in the systematic arteries the greatest?
Blood pressure in the systemic arteries is greatest during systole. Systole is the part of the heart cycle during which the ventricles contract.

Which part of the systemic circuit has the highest blood pressure?
The blood pressure is the highest in the arteries. It will decrease continuously as it flows through the systemic circuit.
What vessels provides right and left ventricular afterload?
The systemic arteries provide afterload for the left ventricle, while the pulmonary arteries provide afterload for the right ventricle. Afterload refers to the resistance that the ventricles must overcome to eject blood during systole.
The greater the the pulse pressure the lower the pressure gradient driving blood from the aorta through the systemic circulation?
This statement is not accurate. Pulse pressure is the difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure and is related to the elasticity of arteries. It does not directly affect the pressure gradient driving blood through the systemic circulation, which is mainly determined by the overall systemic vascular resistance.
How does the arteries and veins in the heart become blocked?
Cholesterol and bacteria form plaque on the inside wall (called tunica intima) of veins and arteries. This can make the systemic pressure rise, affecting blood pressure.
The arteries of the pulmonary circulation differ from those of the systemic circulation in that they carry?
The arteries of the pulmonary circulation differ from those of the systemic circulation in that they carry?
What tube is responsible for carrying blood that is high in oxygen?
Arteries. Systemic arteries.
What are unusual arteries?
The arteries of the pulmonary circulation are unusual. They carry oxygen-poor blood, unlike the systemic arteries.
The main systemic arteries branch off of the?
Aorta
