MATCHING EXERCISES
Match the following definitions related to pulse in
Part B with the appropriate term listed in Part A.
PART A

b.Pulse rate
c.Tachycardia
d.Palpitation
e.Bradycardia
f.Pulse rhythm
g.Pulse amplitude

j.Cardiac output
k.Ventricular contraction
l.Pulse deficit
PART B
- Number of pulsations felt in a minute
- Quantity of blood forced out of the left
ventricle with each contraction - Person is aware of own heartbeat
without having to feel for it - Quality of the pulse in terms of fullness;
reflects strength of left ventricular
contraction - Light tap caused by expansion of the
aorta sending a wave through the walls
of the arterial system - Irregular pattern of heartbeats
- Heart rate below 60 beats/minute in an
adult - The amount of blood pumped per minute
- A rapid heart rate
- The pattern of pulsations and pauses
between them - The difference between the apical and
radial pulse rates

- The exchange of oxygen and carbon
dioxide between the alveoli of the lungs

- The act of breathing in
- The exchange of oxygen and carbon
dioxide between the circulating blood
and tissue cells - Movement of air in and out of the
lungs - Normal respirations with equal rate and
depth - Being able to breathe more easily in an
upright position - Periods during which there is no
breathing - Slow breathing
