What event of the cardiac cycle is arterial blood pressure at its highest?
systole
Which type of blood vessel is blood at its highest pressure?
Pulmonary arterial system has high pressure but low oxygen concentration.
In which kind of blood vessels is blood pressure usually highest?
The arteries, but to be exact, the aorta.
Clinically the term blood pressure usually refers to?
Arterial pressure
When you take a persons blood pressure it is a reflection of lymphatic pressure arterial pressure osmotic pressure or venous pressure?
arterial pressure
Blood pressure reading is a reflection of what?
Arterial pressure
In which type of bleeding is blood less likely to clot?
An arterial bleed, because the blood is flowing at a high rate of speed/pressure.
Function ofbulb of sphygmomanometer?
The function of the bulb of a manual sphygmomanometer is to inflate the cuff to stop the flow of arterial blood in the arm so that the blood pressure can be determined. The bulb pumps air into the cuff, causing it to expand against the upper arm. Enough air is pumped into the cuff to stop the flow of arterial blood. The pressure is then slowly released and the point at which blood begins to flow again is recorded as the systolic pressure, representing the highest arterial pressure of the cardiac cycle. Blood flows only with the beating of the heart, however, and further pressure is released until the arterial blood flows freely. This point is recorded as the diastolic pressure, representing the lowest arterial pressure when the heart is at rest.
What is sphygmomanometers?
It is an instrument for measuring blood pressure and especially arterial blood pressure. :)
What is mean arterial blood pressure?
the blood pressure in your arteries is too high
Arterial blood tends to be what while venous blood is what?
Arterial blood is under direct pressure from the heart and is oxygen rich, which venous blood is oxygen poor and is under low pressure.
What is the pressure that propels blood to the tissues?
mean arterial pressure
