So sa bawat pag-pump o sa bawat rhytmic pump, yung blood natin is napupushed under

high pressure and velocity away from the heart, initially ay along the main artery
siya or the aorta, at dito sa aorta yung blood natin ay nagtratravel at 30 cm/sec
so ang pagtravel ng blood papuntang arteries or arterioles ay mas mabagal
kumpara sa pagtravel ng blood papuntang aorta, and according din kasi sa law of
continuity, fluid should travel faster through a narrower diameter tube, and the
rate is actually slower dahil na rin sa overall diameter of all combined
capillaries
na mas malayo than the diameter of the individual aorta

So after the blood has passed through the capillary beds to the venules, veins
and finally to the main vena cava, the rate flow increases again pero much slower
o mas mabagal na siya kumpara sa initial rate sa aorta.

and also blood flow through the capillary beds is regulated depending on the bodys
needs and is directed by nerve and hormone signals
For example, pagkatapos nating kumain nang malaki, o isang meal, most of our blood
is diverted to the stomach by vasodilation (relaxation of blood vessles)
of vessles of the digestive system and vasoconstriction (blood vessels constrict,
blood flow is slowed or blocked of other vessels.

So as you can see here in the figure, the blood entering some capillary beds is
controlled by small muscles, called precapillary sphincters. If itong sphincters
ay open then the blood will flow into the associated branhes ng capillary blood
Kapag naman naka-close siya, then the blood will flow directly sa arteriole, to
the venule, then sa thoroughfare channel

So the second to the last topic is blood pressure


so merong dalawang phases ang cardiac cycle ito ay ang systole at diastole
sa systole or during systole, when the new blood is entering the arteries,
yung artery walls natin will stretch to accomodate the increase of pressure
of the extra blood
during diastole naman, the walls will return to norma because of their elastic
properties

So dito sa graph or dito sa figure na to makikita natin na the systole and


diastole phase gives two pressure readings for blood pressure
Halimbawa, 120/80 so it indicates na yung reading of 120 milimmeters of mercury
or yung 120 mmhg during systole siya tapos 80 millimeters of mercury or 80mmhg
is during diastole.

So the last subtopic is the blood pressure regulation
