Question

multiple choice question
what formula best describes the relationship between the factors that determine blood pressure?
cardiac output x peripheral resistance
cardiac output - peripheral resistance
cardiac output + peripheral resistance
cardiac output / peripheral resistance

Explanation:

Blood pressure is determined by the product of cardiac output and peripheral resistance. Cardiac output is the volume of blood pumped by the heart per minute, and peripheral resistance is the resistance to blood - flow in the blood vessels.

Answer:

Cardiac output x peripheral resistance
