∙ 13y agoIt is called "pressure". Cardiovascular blood pressure affects the blood vessels, the heart and other organs. If the pressure rises too much all types of problems can occur. The sad thing is that some people never feel anything from high blood pressure. The walls of the vessels can burst, hence a stroke.

∙ 14y agoFor a healthy young person the normal maximum pressurewill occur in the left ventricle during contraction and it will reach a pressure of 120mmHg. However, this is pressure and not force, which are two different things. Knowing the pressure you should be able to work out the force.

∙ 12y agoThe strong contractions of the right and left ventricles push the blood up through the semi lunar valves.

∙ 9y agoThe rhythmic pressure of the blood against artery walls is the pulse. A measure of the pressure of blood against artery walls is known as blood pressure.

True or false the force of blood against the walls of the arteries is called blood pressure?
True.
What are the vessels called that carry blood away from the heart?
arteries
The greatest force of the blood against the walls of the arteries during ventricular contraction is called?
That is the Systolic Pressure.
Do arteries pump blood to your body?
No the heart pumps the blood but it does pump the blood through the arteries.
The only arteries in the body carry deoxigenated blood away from the heart are?
The only arteries in the body that move deoxygenated blood away from the heart are the pulmonary arteries. Arteries are blood vessels.
What is the pressure that blood exerts against the walls of the arteries when the hearts is in contracted state?
high blood
Blood preaaure is defined as the force that blood exerts on the inner walls of blood vessels true or false?
True, blood pressure is the force that the blood exerts against the walls of the blood vessels, usually the arteries.
What generates blood pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressure of the blood pressing on the walls of arteries and veins. It is contracted by the left ventricle in the heart.
Does your pulse represent the pressure that blood exerts as it pushes the walls of a vein?
no, it represents the pressure exeted on the arteries
Blood moves in veins because of pressure exerted by?
I think the blood moves in veins similarly to arteries but in the opposite direction. I mean as the heart pushes the blood into arteries, in an opposite way when heart is contracted the blood is pulled to it as a reaction for the action of pushing.
True or false the force of blood against the walls of the arteries is called blood pressure?
True.
Blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart are?
Arteries.
When is systolic presssure mesured?
Systolic pressure is a representation of the maximum pressure exerted on the arteries. Systolic pressure measures the maximum amount of pressure the blood exerts during a heart beat.
What creates blood pressure?
The Cardiovascular system is slightly overfilled with blood , As result blood exerts an outward force against vessel wall , as it flow through them The term blood pressure refers to force exerted by Blood as it pressure against & Attempts to stretch the wall of blood vesseles
How are the arteries carrying blood to the lungs different from the other arteries?
The arteries carrying blood to the lungs contain deoxygenated blood. In contrast, other arteries carry oxygen-rich blood.
120 over 80 blood pressure what is the first number?
The first number is called your systolic blood pressure and the second is called your diastolic. The Systolic is the pressure in your arteries when the ventricles are contracting - so it is the maximum pressure that the heart exerts on the arteries. The diastolic is the pressure when the heart is relaxed - so it is the minimum amount of pressure.
What is blood pressure-?
Blood pressure is the pressure of the blood in the circulatory system, often measured for diagnosis since it is closely related to the force and rate of the heartbeat and the diameter and elasticity of the arterial walls.
