Use a blood pressure cuff (sphygonometer, or something). The reading will be something like 120/90 where the higher number is the pressure of the heartbeat (systolic) and the lower number is the pressure between beats (diastolic).

Filtration at the glomerulus is directly related what.?
arterial blood pressure and osmotic force
Arterial blood pressure increases in response to?
Two of the main factors that influence blood pressure is cardiac output and blood volume. Another factor is the peripheral resistance.
If a person has an arterial blood pressure of 102 over 62 the mean arterial pressure would equal 82mmHg True or False?
False. The MAP should bbe around 75 mmHg.
What is the principles relating to blood flow and pressure and resistance?
Blood pressure = (Blood flow)(Resistance). This equation is usually found in the following form: MAP = (CO)(R) Where MAP is the mean arterial pressure CO is the cardiac output R is the peripheral resistance
How do you control arterial bleeding?
Pressure and or tourniquet
Clinically the term blood pressure usually refers to?
Arterial pressure
When you take a persons blood pressure it is a reflection of lymphatic pressure arterial pressure osmotic pressure or venous pressure?
arterial pressure
Blood pressure reading is a reflection of what?
Arterial pressure
In which type of bleeding is blood less likely to clot?
An arterial bleed, because the blood is flowing at a high rate of speed/pressure.
What is mean arterial blood pressure?
the blood pressure in your arteries is too high
What is sphygmomanometers?
It is an instrument for measuring blood pressure and especially arterial blood pressure. :)
Arterial blood tends to be what while venous blood is what?
Arterial blood is under direct pressure from the heart and is oxygen rich, which venous blood is oxygen poor and is under low pressure.
What is the pressure that propels blood to the tissues?
mean arterial pressure
How do you calculate the mean arterial pressure?
[Systolic Blood Pressure+(2 x Diastolic Blood Pressure)]/3
What does the mean arterial pressure in an infant mean?
Arterial pressure in an infant means the pressure of the blood circulating on the arteries. This is a result of vascular resistance and cardiac output.
What Conditions affect mean arterial pressure?
Some conditions affecting mean arterial pressure, or MAP, blood pressure, heart rate, resistance to blood flow in the vessels, and cardiac output which is the volume of blood pumped out by the heart. Increasing or decreasing any of the can change your mean arterial pressure and cause consequences to the organs in the body.
What is the partial pressure of CO2 in the arterial and venous blood?
The normal partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood is 75-100 millimeters of mercury. In comparison the partial pressure of oxygen at sea level is 750 millimeters of mercury.
