The vascular function curve is traditionally plotted as flow on the ordinate against the right atrial pressure on the abscissa. In this case, the X-intercept is A) W here the veins collapse or flutter B) Equal to C_V / C_A C) 1 / TPR D) - (1 + C_V/ C_A) / TPR E) The mean system ic pressure

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The X-intercept on a vascular function curve, plotted with flow on the ordinate and right atrial pressure on the abscissa, represents the mean systemic pressure. This is the pressure at which flow stops, indicating the pressure in the system without any flow.
