What is p02?
P02 is the partial pressure that oxygen exerts on a vein, artery or any other blood vessel.
Explain one of the reasons why a person changing quickly from a horizontal to vertical position temporarily may feel dizzy?
The reason has to do with how blood flows through the body, and blood pressure. When lying down, blood pressure to the brain is fairly low, since there is less pressure required to pump blood to the brain in a horizontal body - it's not fighting gravity as the entire body is on the same level plane. However, when a person stands up too quickly, the body doesn't have enough time to react to the rapid increase in gravity that short distance causes, and therefore doesn't have enough time to increase blood pressure flow to the brain. So the reason a person can feel dizzy is that when they stand up, there isn't enough blood flow to the brain yet - it takes a couple of seconds for the heart to catch up. It can also happen even if a person is just stiting down and stands up.
What is A math problem used by doctors?
Doctors use math daily: - measuring height and weight (percentages, ratios) - measuring blood pressure and heart rate (fractions) - measuring dosages of medications - measuring levels of blood, urine, saliva, or other samples
What is hypotense?
Hypotension is considered low blood pressure. Anything under the established 120/80 is considered hypotension, whether systolic or diastolic. Systolic is the 120 and measures the pressure of the arteries when the heart contracts and diastolic is the 80 and measures the pressure of the arteries when the heart is at rest.
Example of normal distribution?
Male and female blood pressure, IQ, SAT and other test scores, life of a light bulb, weight and height, shoe sizes... Hope this helps!
Where will blood be at the lowest pressure in someone who is standing upright?
If you mean, what is the lowest blood pressure, then the answer is around 60 in an average person. Blood pressure is relatively consistent through out the body, so the lowest pressure would be seen when the heart is resting (also know as diastolic blood pressure).
What is the lowest pressure exerted by blood in your arteries is your- blood pressure?
The lowest pressure exerted by blood in your arteries is your diastolic blood pressure.
In what blood vessel is blood pressure the lowest?
depending if your dick is very small it would be in your dick because it wont need to much pressure to have a erection
What is the lowest pressure against the walls of the blood vessels?
No, systolic pressure is the highest pressure against the walls of the blood vessels. Diastolic pressure is the lowest pressure against the walls of the blood vessels.
Does the aorta have the lowest blood pressure?
no!
When the ventricles are relaxed what pressure occurs and this is the lowest pressure against the walls of the blood vessels?
Diastole is the term meaning the period of ventricular relaxation with the lowest blood pressure. The diastolic number is the second or bottom number in the blood pressure reading, and it is always the lowest.
When is systolic blood pressure at its lowest?
morning
What are three types of blood tubes Which one carries blood at the lowest pressure?
The three types of blood vessels are the capillaries, arteries, and veins. The veins are the ones that have the lowest pressure.
Where in systemic circulation is Blood Pressure highest?
What position is blood pressure normally the highest and lowest?If a person was sitting, reclining, or standing, which position would cause the blood pressure to be highest and lowest?Also, if there was an increase in blood viscosity, cardiac ouput, and diameter of the arterioles would this constitute to an increase in blood pressure as well?blood pressure (BP) is usuall lowest standing position and highest in supine (reclining) position. This is because the blood return to the heart is decreased when standing.http://www.bloodpressureinc.com/what-position-is-blood-pressure-normally-the-highest-and-lowest/Exercise is at its highest when we exercise and lowest when we sleep.
When is blood pressure the lowest?
Blood pressure is typically lowest during sleep, especially during the early morning hours before waking up. This decrease in blood pressure at night is a normal variation known as nocturnal dipping.
What kind of vessel has the lowest blood pressure?
veins
Blood pressure is lowest in the?
I learned in class that the longer the vessel the lower the blood pressure. So I would have to guess that the lowest blood pressure would be in the Greater Saphenous vein. Just to clarify, this is my guess. Actually its the vena cava.
