?
How does the brain tell the heart to speed up
Increased pulses in the sympathetic nerve
1 of 19
Where is the cardiovascular centre
In the brain
2 of 19
What is in the right atrium
Sinoatrial node
3 of 19
How does the brain tell the heart to slow down
Increased frequency of pulses in the parasympathetic nerve
4 of 19
Where does the para sympathetic and the sympathetic nerves go to and from
The cardiovascular centre to the sinoatrial node
5 of 19
When is you blood pressure lowest
Sleeping, resting, relaxing
6 of 19
What causes blood pressure to rise
If you become more active, start to exercise, become nervous
7 of 19
What will cause your blood pressure to rise less
If you are fitter

What are the two values blood pressure yeilds, spell them
Systolic and Diastolic
9 of 19
What is the systolic value
Pressure in the arteries when the heat is forcing blood through them

What is the diastolic value
Pressure in the arteries when the heart is relaxed
