Q Blood Flow and Pressure Regulation The body is in a constant state of homeostatic maintenance. Blood pressure needs to be just high enough to meet the demands of the tissues and organs, but not so high that it damages blood vessels. The body has mechanisms to keep blood pressure levels within ideal parameters. Research the relationship between blood pressure, cardiac output, peripheral resistance, and hemodynamics. Create a visual presentation or an infographic that demonstrates the relationship between these processes. Requirements: Create a visual presentation or an infographic. If you create a presentation, it must be 8-10-slides in length, not including the title and reference slides, which are required. The presentation MUST include notes containing 80-100 words per slide. You will find resources focused on helping create visual presentations on the Visual Presentation page (Links to an external site.) located in the CSU Global Writing Center. If you create an infographic, it must include accompanying notes containing 200-400 words. You can also find information regarding creating infographics on the CSU Global guidelines for creating an infographic page (Links to an external site.). Your presentation or infographic must be properly cited and formatted according to APA guidelines in the CSU Global Writing Center (Links to an external site.). Include formal references with at least two scholarly references in addition to the course textbook. The CSU Global Library is a good place to find these references. If you create your presentation using Prezi, SlideShare, or some other web-based presentation tool, you will need to copy the link to your presentation with script notes and paste it into a Word document with a brief note to your instructor regarding the link and any special instructions for viewing your project once opened.

Blood flow, expressed in milliliters per minute (ml/min), is the amount of blood that passes through the body's vessels in a specific amount of time (Domingos & Polito, 2018). Greater pressure differences between areas cause blood flow to rise, whereas greater internal vascular resistance causes blood flow to decrease. The amount of time it takes for a blood drop to travel from the right atrium to the feet and back up to the right atrium via the entire pulmonary and systemic circulation is known as the circulation time, which is typically around one minute. Since stroke volume (SV) and heart rate are reliant on cardiac output (CO), which is the amount of blood moving through the whole vascular system (HR) (Domingos & Polito, 2018).
