What is the highest pressure against the blood vessels?
systolic, its the number on top, that's why that number is larger
What is The pressure exerted by the gas in earths atmosphere called?
autmospheric pressure
The force exerted by the weight of a column of air on a surface is called?
Air Pressure The force exerted by the air above is called?
The constant pressure in the walls of the arteries is called?
Diastolic pressure
What is the pressure exerted by water during osmosis called?
TonicI think. :PThe pressure exerted by water moving during osmosis is called the osmotic pressure. It is dependent on molar concentration and absolute temperature.
What is the force exerted by blood as it moves through the blood vessels?
This is called blood pressure. Blood pressure is measured in two parts. The first number is the systolic blood pressure and this shows the pressure exerted on artery walls when the ventricles contract and pump blood into the arteries and around the body. The second number is the diastolic blood pressure and this shows the pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest and refilling ready for the next contraction.Blood pressureThis is known as blood pressure. The pressure high is during systole (when the heart pumps blood to the body) and a pressure low during diastole (when the heart is receiving blood back from the body)This is sometimes referred to as arterial pressure and different measurements are made regarding the arterial pressure such as the mean arterial pressure (MAP).

What is the pressure wave in arteries produced when the left ventricle contracts called?
"Blood pressure" is the pressure exerted by the blood against the walls of the arteries, maintained by the contraction of the left ventricle, the resistance of the arterioles and capillaries, the elasticity of the arterial walls, and by the viscosity and volume of the blood.

blood pressure
