I always thought, being a railroad buff and familiar with PSI, that it was in Pounds per square inch. Some Path cars ran a standing pressure in the brake system- Main over equalizing, of ll0/70, exactly l0 pounds below the Human norms, the joke was the M-58 cars are a little anemic ( this was compressed air, to operate the brakes) Alas it is ( Blood pressure) actually in MM/Mercury ( Mercury column gauges are still in use, in some quarters) and NOT PSI. People still say (pounds) as it is a sort of flag of convenience, like the confusion of (Two Blocked) with Half Mast in reference to flag usage. Two Blocked originally meant the Flag was ALL the way up- touching the blocks of the pulleys. By some popular misunderstanding- as with the Blood Pressure, as Half is l/2 l over Two- somehow people will say ( the Flag was Two-Blocked for President Kennedy) for example, when they mean Half-Mast. so it goes.

What is measured in inches of mercury?
Those are (somewhat outdated) pressure units.
How is blood circulation measured?
systolic/diastolic measured by blood pressure cuff
A unit by which air pressure it measured?
barometer
Force per unit area is termed?
Pressure is the force measured over an area
Why unit of water potential is measured in pressure unit not in energy unit?

How can blood pressure be measured?
How do you measure blood presure?
What is syphgmomanometer?
sphymomanometer is an instrument used for measuring thew bloodpressure. It is based on the the principle of pressure exerted by the column of blood on the unit area of the blood vessel . Both the systolic and diastolic pressure can be measured by this instrument.
A unit by which air pressure it measured?
barometer
How blood pressure is correctly measured?
with a pressure gauge
What are the units blood pressure is reported in?
Blood Pressure is measured and reported as a pressure in mm of mercury
Which chambers pressures are being indirectly measured when peripheral blood pressure is measured?
The pressure in the Atrias and then in the ventricles
Is blood pressure is a qualitative variable?
No,Blood pressure is a quantitative variable because it is measured in numbers
Why is blood pressure in a polysomnography monitored?
Blood pressure is also measured: sometimes episodes of sleep apnea can dangerously elevate blood pressure.
Force per unit area is termed?
Pressure is the force measured over an area
What unit used to measured air pressure?
(any unit of force) divided by (any unit of area)
