| bulk flow | The movement of water due to a difference in pressure between two locations. |
| diastolic blood pressure | force of blood during ventricular relaxation |
| factors affecting resistance | diameter of blood vessel, blood viscosity, blood vessel length |
| factors that affect blood pressure | cardiac output, blood volume, viscosity, resistance, elasticity of arteries |
| factors that maintain blood return | valves in veins, skeletal muscle contractions, respiratory pump |
| functional properties of arteries | elasticity and contractility |
| hydrostatic pressure | Pressure exerted by a volume of fluid against a wall, membrane, or some other structure that encloses the fluid. |
| Mean Arterial Pressure (equation) | cardiac output x total peripheral resistance |
| Mean Arterial Pressure | the average pressure driving blood into the tissues throughout the cardiac cycle |
| osmotic pressure | tendency of water to flow across a semipermeable membrane from the area of low solute concentration to the area of high solute concentration |
| Primary function of capillaries | exchange of nutrients and wastes between blood and interstitial fluid |
| pulse pressure | difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure; indicates condition of arteries. |
| resistance | opposition to blood flow as a result of friction between blood and walls of blood vessels |
| respiratory pump | the alternating compression and decompression of veins in the thoracic cavity due to the pressure changes generated by breathing that helps move venous blood back to the heart |
| skeletal muscle pump | milks |
| systolic blood pressure | force of blood during ventricular contraction |
| viscosity | A liquid's resistance to flowing; Thickness |
| ways that substances enter or leave capillaries | diffusion |
