Yes, blood pressure is a measure of the pressure exerted on your arterial walls as the heart pumps blood throughout the body (systolic) over the pressure when your heart is relaxed (diastolic).
Systolic blood pressure is higher in the arteries than the veins, and systolic blood pressure is higher than diastolic blood pressure.
Because arteries are narrower, thus increasing the pressure in the arteries. So you need thicker walls to contain the blood under pressure.
The blood pressure is usually high when blood leaves the small arteries and enters the capillaries.
Blood pressure would decrease
No, veins carry blood at a lower pressure than arteries. Blood in arteries is propelled by heart contractions. Venous blood is propelled only by body movement and gravity.
Yes. Blood always flows from a higher pressure to a lower pressure, so as the blood moves from the arteries through the capillaries and into the veins pressure drops considerably.
The lowest pressure exerted by blood in your arteries is your diastolic blood pressure.
in the arteries
No, pressure is higher in the arteries.
Because arteries are narrower, thus increasing the pressure in the arteries. So you need thicker walls to contain the blood under pressure.
Arteries carry blood at high pressure, simply because they are linked directly to the heart and lungs.
yes the blood pressure in major arteries in the leg is greater than the blood pressure in arteries in neck during orbiting in an orbiting space station.
The blood pressure is usually high when blood leaves the small arteries and enters the capillaries.
The blood pressure is usually high when blood leaves the small arteries and enters the capillaries.
Blood pressure would decrease
No, arteries have high pressure as they carry blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
It is a measure of the pressure of the blood in your arteries at two stages of the heartbeat.
the blood pressure in your arteries is too high
