PI-3 kinase signaling pathway is terminated by

PTEN phosphatase, which hydrolyzes the 3-phosphate

in PI 3-phosphates.

Mean arterial pressure is the average pressure in a

complete cardiac cycle and is calculated as follows:

Mean arterial pressure=Diastolic pressure+ 1/3 Pulse pressure

Mean arterial pressure is not the simple mathematical average of diastolic and systolic pressures.

This is because a greater fraction of each cardiac cycle is spent in diastole than in systole.

The total duration of the cardiac cycle, including systole and diastole, is the reciprocal of the heart rate.
