Cardiac output =
HR X SV
Max CO of non athlete
20 L/min
Max CO of athlete
30 L/min
Situatuation in which pulmonary blood flow is greater than aortic blood flow
Left-to-right ventricular shunt
Site of greatest resistance
Arterioles
Contains stressed volume; high pressure
Arteries
Largest cross-sectional area; has endothelial cells only; slowest blood flow velocity
Capillaries
Aka capacitance vessels
64% of blood found here
With one way valves
Veins
Drains chons and fluids from the interstitiu, carries chylomicrons and involved in immunity and cancer
Lymphatice vessels
Site at ehich systolic BP is HIGHEST
Renal artery
