Blood pressure is a pressure under which the force of blood pressurizes the wall of arteries to the body is called as blood pressure. If this pressure rises and stays high for a longer period of time then, it can damage the body in many ways.
High blood pressure is a serious condition wherein it can lead to coronary disease, Heart disease, stroke, kidney failure and other health related can occur to the person suffering from high blood pressure. It is named as a " silent killer" because it usually has no symptoms.
Normal blood pressure is 120 systolic and 80 diastolic - this is average population. You can get more explanation in the following article:

Does arteriole blood pressure increase in response to increased heart rate?
Blood pressure.
What is the typical change in blood pressure with increased intracranial pressure?
inreasing pressure
Anticipated effect on blood pressure and the physiological basis of the response to high-salt diet?
Increased blood pressure. This is due to increased sodium in the blood, increasing the total extracellular fluid volume
Would increased water retention lead to increased blood pressure?
It will absolutely raise your blood pressure because sodium constricts veins & vessels your heart needs to use more pressure to force blood flow.
Does increased parasympathetic activity cause blood pressure to increase?
no
Sympathetic division stimulation causes?
Increased blood glucose, decreased GI peristalsis, and increased heart rate and blood pressure.
Why cold water could bring blood pressure down?
When your extremities are exposed to cold temperatures the body protects core temperature by cutting off blood circulation to that limb. This decrease in blood circulation to the area causes increased respiratory rate, increased muscular tension which leads to shivering, increased heart rate, and increased blood pressure.
Increased blood pressure in the glomerulus?
Blood pressure in the glomerulus in very high. Hope this helps!!!!!!!!!! :D
Does Excess protein production decrease blood pressure?
Yes, because blood viscosity is increased.
What is the result when the pressure in the ventricles rises higher than the pressure in the atria?
Increased pressure in the ventricles means the heart has increased stress pumping blood to the respiratory system/ body.
What happened to the glomerular pressure as the afferent radius is increased?
increase afferent radius or decrease efferent radius depending on the degree of change in blood pressure
What can cause Increased heart rate and blood pressure?
hardcore exersizing
