Mean arterial pressure is

A) cardiac output times peripheral resistance.
B) end-diastolic volume minus end-systolic volume.
C) maximum cardiac output minus cardiac output when at rest.
D) heart rate times stroke volume.
E) stroke volume times peripheral resistance.

Mean Arterial Pressure

The average blood pressure in an individual's arteries during one cardiac cycle, essential for ensuring effective tissue perfusion.

Peripheral Resistance

Peripheral resistance is the resistance of the arteries to blood flow. As the arteries constrict, the resistance increases and blood pressure rises.

Cardiac Output

The volume of blood pumped by the heart per minute, indicative of the heart's efficiency.
