How do bruises form?• Capillaries have walls that are only one cell layer thick - so
they are very fragile • If you get hit on your arm with a baseball…
o The capillaries get ruptured by the impacto The blood contained within them gets released into the
spaces between tissueso This produces the discoloration and possible swelling
known as a bruise

Blood PressureDiastole:• When atria are relaxed (i.e. filled with blood)
Systole:• Atria push blood into ventricles• Ventricles contract and push blood into arteries• When AV valves shut – LUBB• Ventricles relax – DUBB
Written as: DIASTOLIC pressure (mm Hg) SYSTOLIC pressure (mm Hg)

How do we take Blood Pressure?
• Need to use a stethoscope • Normal systolic should be 120 mm Hg• Normal diastole should be 80 mm Hg
To measure:• Tighten the cuff…as soon as you release you
should hear a lubb sound – measure pressure (systolic – should be 120 mm Hg)
• Then deflate until sound disappears – check pressure (diastole – should be 80mm Hg)
Sphygmomanometer
