I take it you mean on your blood pressure readings? The bottom number is the pressure the blood is returning to the heart.

What is the proper name of the blood pressure's bottom number?
It is the diastolic pressure. It is the pressure on the walls of the arteries when the heart is resting.

When the ventricles are relaxed what pressure occurs and this is the lowest pressure against the walls of the blood vessels?
Diastole is the term meaning the period of ventricular relaxation with the lowest blood pressure. The diastolic number is the second or bottom number in the blood pressure reading, and it is always the lowest.
What is resting blood pressure?
Resting Blood Pressure: Diastolic (blood filling into atrium of heart) is the top number Systolic (blood pumping from atrium into ventricles of heart) is the bottom number
What do blood pressure readings mean?
The top number in the blood pressure fraction is the Systolic pressure, or the amount of pressure put on the walls of the arteries during the contraction and ejection of blood from the left ventricle. The bottom number is called the Diastolic Pressure and it means the lowest pressure in an artery in the moments between beats when your heart is resting.
What blood pressure is the force of blood on the?
The blood pressure is the pressure in the arteries created by the large quantity of blood circulating in them. The number on the top is the systolic blood pressure and the number on the bottom is the diastolic blood pressure. The systolic BP is the pressure in the arteries right when the blood is pumped out of the heart, therefore the pressure is bigger. The diastolic BP is the pressure in the arteries after the blood has been pumped out and before the next heart contraction. At this moment, the heart is relaxed and the pressure is much lower.
Is a blood pressure of 9550 dangerous?
9550 millibars would be a dangerous number for either systolic or diastolic. Borderline high blood pressure begins at around 4400 millibars for systolic (usually the first number) and around 3000 diastolic (typically second number. Usually the diastolic is the more critical number.
What is dystolic and cystolic?
