The arteries, which are strong, flexible, and resilient, carry blood away from the heart and bear the highest blood pressures
THE AORTA...IT THE FIRST "MAJOR" ARTERY THAT LEAVES THE HEART. 2nd would be the Pulmonary Veins (reversed arteries-veins) in the Respiratory system.

What is the medical term meaning highest pressure against the walls of the blood vessels?
The systolic pressure is the highest pressure measured against the walls of blood vessels.
What is the highest pressure against the blood vessels and also occurs when the ventricles contract?
The highest pressure against the blood vessels is Systolic Pressure, and it occurs when the ventricles contract.
What is the lowest pressure against the walls of the blood vessels?
No, systolic pressure is the highest pressure against the walls of the blood vessels. Diastolic pressure is the lowest pressure against the walls of the blood vessels.
In which kind of blood vessels is blood pressure usually highest?
The arteries, but to be exact, the aorta.
Is blood pressure highest in the veins?
No. Veins carry the blood back to the heart, and are low-pressure vessels. The arteries are the high-pressure vessels.
What is the highest pressure against the blood vessels?
systolic, its the number on top, that's why that number is larger
What blood pressure readings means?
Blood vessels are the part of the circulatory system which transports blood throughout the body.Blood pressure (BP) is the pressure exerted by circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels. It means blood pressure is the speed of circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels.
What blood vessels have the highest amount of pressure exerted on them?
The aorta, the arteries located on your upper thighs or the ones located in your neck.
Where is blood pressure high?
blood vessels
How blood Vessels length affects blood pressure?
The blood pressure raises when the some blood vessels get narrowed, but this doesn't mean that a person suffers of high blood pressure. When gases compress the diaphragm thus compressing heart which reacts by elevating the blood pressure. But primarily, is the narrowing of some blood vessels the cause of blood pressure to rise on some stressing situations.
Which three blood vessels carries blood at the highest pressure?
Blood pressure is highest at the Aorta. BP progressively decreases as it enters arterioles, capillaries, venules, then increases upon reaching the vena cavae. So basically it's the Aorta, and the Inferior and Superior Vena Cava.
Blood pressure is exerted by the blood on the walls of blood vessels as a result of?
force/pressure
