Is blood pressure highest in the aorta pulmonary artery capillary bed or subclavian vein?
The order, from most to least pressure: * Aorta * pulmonary artery * capillary bed * subclavian vein This is because the aorta takes blood the farthest distance, from the heart to the rest of our body organs, so it requires a greater push from the heart. Pressure in the veins is always lower, due to the fact the blood flowing through them has travelled further. The pulmonary artery doesn't take blood as far as the aorta, so it therefore does not need as high a pressure.
