What is the lowest arterial blood pH tolerated by humans?
If the pH of your blood falls below 7.35, the result is a condition called acidosis, a state that leads to central nervous system depression. Severe acidosis - where blood pH falls below 7.00 - can lead to a coma and even death. http://drbenkim.com/ph-body-blood-foods-acid-alkaline.htm
What is the medical term definition of diastole?
Diastole is the lowest blood pressure measured in the peripheral arterial supply.
What is the best sample for the determination of blood pH and blood gases?
arterial blood
What does arterial mean as in arterial o2 saturations?

What does ABGs stands for?
It can mean Arterial Blood Gas.
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.

Function ofbulb of sphygmomanometer?
The function of the bulb of a manual sphygmomanometer is to inflate the cuff to stop the flow of arterial blood in the arm so that the blood pressure can be determined. The bulb pumps air into the cuff, causing it to expand against the upper arm. Enough air is pumped into the cuff to stop the flow of arterial blood. The pressure is then slowly released and the point at which blood begins to flow again is recorded as the systolic pressure, representing the highest arterial pressure of the cardiac cycle. Blood flows only with the beating of the heart, however, and further pressure is released until the arterial blood flows freely. This point is recorded as the diastolic pressure, representing the lowest arterial pressure when the heart is at rest.
