The total peripheral resistance is about 20 mmHgminliters. At the end of this study some analysis had been performed to determine the validity of the proposed model. In fact blood flows through arteries very much like a sine wave where the amplitude is the maximum blood flow and the frequency is the heart rate.
The exact volumes are not easily measured so they are often estimated based on what we know about stroke volume and the factors that it affects such as blood pressure which we can measure.
In the next paragraph we will teach you how to measure blood pressure. HR x SV Q. Interpret the function in terms of period and frequency. Diastolic blood pressure measures the pressure in the blood vessels when the hearts chambers.
