Summary Introduction

To write:

The mean arterial pressure depends only on heart rate, stroke volume and total peripheral resistance on the basis of the principles relating to blood flow, pressure, and resistance.

Introduction:

Mean blood pressure drops as the circulating blood transports away from the heart across the arteries and capillaries due to viscous energy losses. The relationship between the flow, pressure, and resistance can be expressed in the following equation: Blood flow = pressure/resistance.
