Document Summary

Cardiac output is the rate at which the heart pumps blood, measured in ml or liters/minute. Co=sv x hr and map= co x tpr. So the majority regulation of the cv function is either going to affect volume, heart rate, tpr and blood volume (in kidney). Its important to keep in mind that under normal conditions blood pumped from both sides of the heart is the same. Left side is under high pressure, high resistance and the right side of the heart is under low pressure and low resistance. Theres both extrinsic regulation (pacemaker cell) and intrinsic regulation (such as innervation and hormones).
