Objective: Use cuff manometry to measure arterial blood pressure. Questions: 1. My blood pressure for this lab was 123/78. These numbers are normal‚ compared to the normal rating of 120/80. My pulse pressure was 45 (SP – DP). My mean arterial pressure was 93 (DP + 1/3 (SP – DP). 2. Mean arterial blood pressure is determined by cardiac output and total vascular resistance. The mathematical equation for mean arterial blood pressure is equal to cardiac output x total vascular resistance. The amount

Abstract The objective of this study was to observe and record the effects that exercise has on cardiovascular functions such as mean blood pressure‚ cardiac output‚ and total peripheral resistance by comparing each numerical function’s numerical data before and after exercise. Before exercise‚ the mean blood pressure (MPB) was 84.03 mmHg with a standard deviation of 10.3. After exercise‚ MBP was 92.19 with a standard deviation of 10.5. The cardiac output (CO) before exercise was 5.45 Liters/minute
