- Blood pressure (BP) is the pressure exerted by circulating blood upon the walls of blood vessels, and is one of the principal vital signs.
- When used without further specification, "blood pressure" usually refers to the arterial pressure of the systemic circulation.
- During each heartbeat, blood pressure varies between a maximum and a minimum pressure.
- The blood pressure in the circulation is principally due to the pumping action of the heart.
- Differences in mean blood pressure are responsible for blood flow from one location to another in the circulation. The rate of mean blood flow depends on the resistance to flow presented by the blood vessels.
- Gravity affects blood pressure via hydrostatic forces (e.g., during standing), and valves in veins, breathing, and pumping from contraction of skeletal muscles also influence blood pressure in veins.
- A person's blood pressure is usually expressed in terms of the maximum pressure over the minimum pressure and is measured in millimeters of Mercury (mm-Hg), for example 120/80.
- Various factors, such as age and sex, influence a person's average blood pressure and variations in it. In children, the normal ranges are lower than for adults and depend on height. As adults age, the maximum pressure tends to rise and the minimum pressure tends to fall.
- In the elderly, blood pressure tends to be above the normal adult range, largely because of reduced flexibility of the arteries. Also, an individual's blood pressure varies with exercise, emotional reactions, sleep, digestion, and time of day.

∙ 12y agoi think 98.6 is considered normal and average. but a normal range can be
as high 99.2. some people's body temperature is naturally higher this is why they chart this information at the doctor's office. everybody's normal is different.

∙ 14y agoThe normal reportable limits are between 60 to 90 beats per minute.
50 or lover is bradycardia.
100 or higher is tachycardia.

∙ 14y agoThe normal BP (blood pressure) for a human is 90/60-120/80.

∙ 11y agoA reading of 120/80 is considered to be optimal. A little higher or lower than this is also in the normal range.

Pressure inside human body?
The air pressure inside a human body is roughly equivalent to the pressure of the atmosphere. Normal air pressure is about 13.7 pounds per square inch at sea level.
What does an arterial oxygen saturation level of 44 mean?
That means the blood (hemoglobin) is 44% saturated with Oxygen. 44% is incompatible with life for a normal human. Normal person should be above 96% under normal condition.
What is the pH level for blood?

What is the normal blood pressure level of an adult?
120/80 mmHg
What is oxygens normal pressure?
When determining the blood oxygen level, doctors look for levels in the normal range. A normal arterial blood oxygen level is generally between 75 and 100 mmHg.
What should human blood pressure be?
Ideally, we should all have a blood pressure below 120 over 80 (120/80). This is the ideal blood pressure for people wishing to have good health. At this level, we have a much lower risk of heart disease or stroke.
What is the partial pressure of CO2 in the arterial and venous blood?
The normal partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood is 75-100 millimeters of mercury. In comparison the partial pressure of oxygen at sea level is 750 millimeters of mercury.

What is dangerous blood pressure reading?
Normal blood pressure is below 120 over 80. 93 over 60 is about as low as you can go before there is concern that it is too low.
What is an antihypertensive medication?

What is co2 blood level?
CO2 in the blood stream can be measured from bicarbonate in the blood or pCO2 (partial pressure). Normal CO2 measured from bicarbonate is 22-28 mEq/L Normal pCO2 is 35-45 mmHg
The normal sodium level in human blood is 135 milliliters If a blood test taken immediately after a meal reveals a sodium level of 150 milliliters what ill most likely result?
An adjustment within the human body will be made to restore homeostasis.
What causes pressure in the front of your head while exercising?
A raise in blood pressure causes this. U should get an at-home blood pressure moniter and check your levels after you excercise, to ensure that they aren't in the danger zones. It's normal for blood pressure to rise, but there's still an unhealthy level that should be watched out for.
