What 2 things are looked for blood in blood pressure?
systolic and diastolic pressures.
What is the used of mercury sphygmomamometer?
To read blood pressures
Why do you have 2 different blood pressures?

What is Starling's Law of the capillaries?
The hypothesis that fluid filtration through capillary membranes is dependent on the balance between the pressure the blood places on the membranes and the osmotic pressure of the membranes. The law relating to the passage of fluid out of a capillary depending on the hydrostatic and osmotic pressures of the blood and the same pressures of tissue fluid, the net effect of the opposing pressures determining the direction and rate of flow.
What do peak blood pressures during isometric actions depend on?
Peak blood pressures during isometric actions depend on the intensity and duration of the activity. Factors such as muscle mass involved, body position, and individual fitness level can also influence peak blood pressure. Moreover, the valsalva maneuver, in which breath is held during the activity, can further increase peak blood pressure.
Which chambers pressures are being indirectly measured when peripheral blood pressure is measured?
The pressure in the Atrias and then in the ventricles
Does the aorta have the fastest blood flow?
Yes, the aorta has one of the fastest blood flow rates in the body due to its proximity to the heart, which helps pump blood at high pressures to the rest of the body.
What is the normal blood pressure for a 51 year old man?
There isn't really a normal blood pressure, there is a continuum of blood pressures among people at any age (for example, 50).
What information is gained from a cardiac catheterization?
This procedure gathers information such as adequacy of blood supply through the coronary arteries, blood pressures, blood flow throughout chambers of the heart, collection of blood samples, and x rays of the heart's ventricles or arteries.
What is widening pulse pressure?
When diastolic blood pressure (the lower BP number) is subtracted from the systolic blood pressure (the higher BP number), and the value is 60 or more, there is a widened pulse pressure. With persistently widened pulse pressures, individuals are at increased risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular (stroke) events.
What is the name of the instrument used to compress the artery and record pressures in the auscultatory method of determining blood pressure?
Sphygmomanometer.
