What are the 2 numbers that make up blood pressure called?
The upper number is called the systolic, and is the pressure of how hard your heart is pumping. The lower number is the diastolic, and is how much the pressure is when your heart is relaxing between pumps.
What is the difference between systolic pressure and diastolic pressure?
systolic pressure when ventricals are contracting while during diastole they are in relaxed state
What do the 2 numbers in blood pressure represent?
The first number in a blood pressure reading is the systolic blood pressure. It represents the pressure in the artery when the heart is contracting. The second number is the diastolic blood pressure, and represents the pressure when the heart is relaxing.
What is a systolic period?
you mean systolic pressure
What is the highest pressure exerted by blood in your arteries called?
The upper Blood Pressure Number is the Systolic, Which is the force of blood in your arteries when you heart beats.
The peak blood pressure measured during ventricular systole is called?
Systolic Pressure
When is systolic presssure mesured?
Systolic pressure is a representation of the maximum pressure exerted on the arteries. Systolic pressure measures the maximum amount of pressure the blood exerts during a heart beat.
Blood pressure during heart contraction?
Yes. The top number which is called Systolic is the pressure on the arteries when the heart is contracting. The bottom number which is called Diastolic, is the pressure on the arteries when the heart is relaxed. If you were to feel your pulse, it has a rhythm. When you feel the heart is contracting. The heart is relaxing between the beats.
Are the systolic blood pressure pumping pressure?
Yes. The systolic is the pressure exerted against the artey walls when the heart beats.
What does the 3 numbers blood pressure reading mean?
The upper reading is the systolic blood pressure while the lower reading is the diastolic blood pressure. Systole is the contraction of the heart while diastole is the relaxation of the heart.
What is the highest pressure against the blood vessels?
systolic, its the number on top, that's why that number is larger
Does 125 represent a maximum or minimum systolic pressure at age 30?
It is not the maximum systolic pressure, but if close to that point.
