Answer:
Therefore, the mean arterial pressure is determined by e. cardiac output and b. resistance of the arterioles
Explanation:
Mean arterial pressure (MAP) is the average blood pressure of an individual during a particular cardiac cycle. It can be determined by cardiac output (CO), central venous pressure (CVP) and the systemic vascular resistance (SVR).
Therefore, the Mean arterial pressure can be calculated by:
systemic vascular resistance = (Mean Arterial Pressure - central venous pressure) / Cardiac Output
SVR= (MAP- CVP) / CO
or,
MAP = (CO × SVR) + CVP
Since, CVP is generally 0 mmHg, the equation can be simplified to:
MAP approx = CO × SVR
