Which term refers to the force exerted as the heart pumps from the left ventricle into the arteries and out into the body?

The atria
Actually, it is the contractions (squeezing) of the ventricles (the lower parts of the heart), not the atria (the upper parts), that do the pumping. That's why the lower part of the heart is larger, and the muscular walls are thicker.
The atria receive the blood from the body and pump it down into the ventricles.

Does blood pressure determine the force exerted by the blood on the walls of the arteries?
Yes it does.
What pressure describes the force exerted against the walls of the arteries when the heart is in a relaxed state?
Diastolic pressure
Is the pushing force of the heart greater in arteries or in veins?
they are in the arteries
Ventricle force blood directly into what?
The ventricles contract and force the blood under pressure, past the semi lunar valves into the arteries. The closing of the bicuspid and tricuspid valves prevents back flow. At the same time the atria and ventricles relax and blood begins to flow back into them from the veins.
What is heart pressure?
No such thingBlood pressure (BP) is the pressure (force per unit area) exerted by circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels, and constitutes one of the principal vital signs. The pressure of the circulating blood decreases as it moves away from the heart through arteries and capillaries, and toward the heart through veins.
Which term refers to the force exerted as the heart pumps blood from the left ventricle to the arteries and out into the body?
systole
Does blood pressure determine the force exerted by the blood on the walls of the arteries?
Yes it does.
Define systolic and diastolic blood pressure?
Blood Pressure: The force at which blood flows through the arteries in the body. Systolic: Refers to the pressure on the arteries as the heart contracts (squeezes). Diastolic: Refers to the pressure on the vessels as the heart relaxes.
What pressure describes the force exerted against the walls of the arteries when the heart is in a relaxed state?
Diastolic pressure
What is the highest pressure exerted by blood in your arteries called?
The upper Blood Pressure Number is the Systolic, Which is the force of blood in your arteries when you heart beats.
How do venous pressures compare to arterial pressures?
Much lower... because arterial walls get their pressure via force of the left ventricle pumping into the arteries. Veins are not exposed to such force and get their pressure via muscle pumps.Much lower... because arterial walls get their pressure via force of the left ventricle pumping into the arteries.

If a force is exerted to the left what direction will the reaction force be exerted?
right
The force exerted on a surface divided by the area over which the force is exerted?
Pressure is the force exerted on an object divided by the area where the pressure was applied.
What is the scientific definition of force?
Pressure depends on the quantity of force exerted and the area over which the force is exerted
What is a force exerted on a surface divided by the total area over which the force is exerted?

How do you call the force exerted on a surface divided by the area over which the force is exerted?

What kind of force is exerted on heavenly bodies?
