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 measurements are taken when determining a person's blood pressure?
Systolic and Diastolic pressure measurements are taken. Systolic is the higher pressure measurement, when the heart ventricles are contracted, and Diastolic is the lower pressure when the ventricles are filling. So if somebody's blood pressure is 120/80, then 120 is the systolic pressure and 80 is the diastolic pressure
Is 123 over 76 an acceptable blood pressure measurement for a 75 year old male?
Normal blood pressure for anyone is 120/80, so you're right in there, yes.
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 should human blood pressure be?

Is blood pressure 91 over 51?
Normal blood pressure is 120/80 no matter what your age is.
Why blood pressure is expressed with two number?
When a blood vessel (like an elastic pipe) is empty there is no pressure on its wall. When there is blood flowing in a blood vessel it exerts pressure on the walls of the blood vessel (pipe). This is the basal pressure called the Diastolic pressure (The lower of the two numbers). When the heart pumps blood it drives the blood with force and this exerts higher pressure on the walls of the blood vessel. This is called the Systolic pressure, the higher number in the blood pressure measurement. Thus, Blood Pressure of 120/70 means the systolic pressure is 120 and the diastolic pressure is 70.
What is the normal pressure of blood?
Normal blood pressure in an adult would be 120/80
What are you measuring when you take your blood pressure?
The second measurement or bottom number of blood pressure is the diastolic number. This number measures the pressure in the arteries between heartbeats.
