RACHEL MARTIN, HOST: Rabbit, rabbit. Some of you may have said that first thing this morning. And for those still slowly rising - get to it, it could bring you good luck all month long. Saying rabbit, rabbit on the first of the month is supposed to be a harbinger of good fortune.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The mean arterial pressure (MAP) is a term used in medicine to describe an average blood pressure in an individual. It is defined as the average arterial pressure during a single cardiac cycle.
Basic Physiology Arterial blood pressure is generated by the ejection of blood from the left ventricle (LV) into the arterial vasculature. The amount of pressure generated is determined by the volume of blood ejected as well as the resistance to ejection within the systemic vascular network.
