Blood pressure is the measure of the force of the blood against the walls of the blood vessels that it is contained in.
Blood pressure is usually expressed in mmHg as the systolic pressure divided by the diastolic pressure.

What is blood pressure measurement?
the non-invasive measurement of the pressure exerted by the circulating blood on the walls of the body's arteries.
Is blood pressure an absolute measurement or is it measured on a gauge?
Blood pressure is not an absolute measurement, but rather it is measured using a gauge.
Describe the normal ranges for each type of blood pressure measurement?
Blood pressure measurements are a combination of the systolic and diastolic pressure. Ideally, blood pressure should be under 120 in the systolic measurement and 80 in the diastolic measurement, commonly notated as 120 over 80.
What is the first measurement of blood pressure?
Systolic

What is the measurement between systolic and diastolic?
The measurement between systolic and diastolic blood pressure is called pulse pressure. It is calculated by subtracting the diastolic blood pressure from the systolic blood pressure. Typically, a healthy pulse pressure is around 40 mmHg, but this can vary depending on individual factors.
Which measurement is a reading from a sphygmomanometer?
A sphygmomanometer is a device used to measure blood pressure. A more common name for this device is a blood pressure meter.
How does blood pressure effect blood pressure And what number is sount for the high blood pressure . hurry ...?
A blood pressure measures the amount of pressure on your arteries when your heart is pumping and contracting blood. There are two measurements. One is the diastolic. The diastolic is the measurement of the pressure on your arteries when your heart is relaxed. This number should be low, in between 50 and 90. It is the bottom number in the ratio. The systolic measurement is the top number in the ratio. The systolic measurement is the amount of pressure on the arteries when the heart is beating or contracted. This number should be between 100 and 150. The text book normal blood pressure is 120/80=S/D. hope that helps.
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.
When the systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure are too close together what might that indicate?
Reduced blood flow ... but its usually an artifact of measurement rather than real.
