The sphygmomanometer ,commonly called a blood pressure cuff ,is an instrument used to obtain blood pressure readings by the ausculatory method.
It consists of an inflatable cuff with an attached pressure gauge .The cuff is placed around the arm and inflated to a pressure higher than systolic pressure(which occurs during pumping of the blood from the heart) to occlude circulation to the forearm .As cuff pressure is gradually released .The examiner listens with a stethoscope for characteristic sounds called the sounds of Korotkoff ,which indicate the resumption of blood flow into the forearm .The pressure at which the first soft tapping sounds can be detected is recorded as the systolic pressure .As the pressure is reduced further blood flow becomes more turbulent , and the sounds become louder .As the pressure is reduced still further , below the diastolic pressure, the artery is no longer compressed ; and blood flows freely and without turbulence.At this point ,the sounds of Korotkoff can no longer be detected .The pressure at which the sounds disappear is recorded as the diastolic pressure.

Does water vapor apply to Boyle's Law?
of course it does. it is a gas, is it not?
What best summarizes the ideal gas law?
PV=nRT
How syringe applied to boyle's law?
Boyle's law applies to an ideal gas which is compressible P is proportional to 1/V the stuff people put in syringes is usually liquid which (compared to a gas) is virtually incompressible. Also a syringe has a hole in it which makes it rather useless as a compression chamber suited to the study of Boyle's law.
Which of the following will increase the volume of a gas?
Decreasing the pressure applied to the gas (apex)
What law does this describe law states that for a fixed amount of gas at a constant pressure the volume of a gas changes and the temperature of the gas changes too?
Charles law
How do gas law applied on vacuum evaporator?
which gas law applied on rotary vaccum distillation
What gas law is applied in spraycan?
The spray cans and bottles work on Boyle's law. This law states that pressure of gas is inversely proportional to its volume.
What is the shape of a boyle law graph?
boyles law is the status in which fixed amount of gas at given temperature and inversly proportional to applied pressure
What is the shape of graph of boyle's law?
boyles law is the status in which fixed amount of gas at given temperature and inversly proportional to applied pressure
How can physics be applied to medical sciences?
YES, physics can be applied to medical science, you must have heard of the term sonography, endoscopy, they all work on the laws of physics .A simple istrument is a sphygmomanometer which measures our blood pressure
Does water vapor apply to Boyle's Law?
of course it does. it is a gas, is it not?
Are there any Real life example of ideal gas law?
The ideal gas law is commonly used in everyday situations, such as measuring the pressure of a car tire by using a pressure gauge. Weather forecasting also relies on the ideal gas law to understand how changes in temperature, pressure, and volume affect the atmosphere. Additionally, the ideal gas law is applied in scuba diving to calculate the changes in gas pressure underwater.
Why is the boyles law applicable only the idealgases?
Not true. It applies to real gases that are exhibiting ideal behavior. Any gas that is not 'close' to its boiling and is at a 'low' pressure will behave like an ideal gas and Boyle's Law can be applied. Remember there is no such thing as an ideal gas, so when Boyle did his experiments and came up with his law he was using a real gas, probably just air.
What will happen if a gas held at a constant temperature has an increased in temperature applied to it?
boyle's law holds good in this case and the gas experiences decrease in volume....provided the gas is not in a container with fixed dimensions! its volume will decrease
What will happened if a gas held at a constant temperature has an increase in pressure applied to it?
boyle's law holds good in this case and the gas experiences decrease in volume....provided the gas is not in a container with fixed dimensions! its volume will decrease
Explain what is meant by the partial pressure of a gas and how it applies to respiration?
Partial pressure of a gas applied to respiration is explained by Dalton's Law. It states that in every mixture of gas, each individual gas has its own pressure that makes up the total pressure of gas.
How can Dalton's law be applied in everyday life?
Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures is used everyday to determine how much of one gas is present in a mixture of gases.....maybe not YOUR "everyday" but someones
