What else can I help you with?
Is blood pressure the pressure of blood in the arteries?
Yes, blood pressure is a measure of the pressure exerted on your arterial walls as the heart pumps blood throughout the body (systolic) over the pressure when your heart is relaxed (diastolic).
Is the Systolic pressure is a measure of blood pressure when the ventricles relax and fill with blood?
No. I think the systolic pressure is when ventricles constrict and the blood goes out , while the diastolic pressure is when ventricles relax and fill with blood.
When the heart contracts and forces blood into the arteries the pressure created is known as the?
Systolic blood pressure
What is the term for your blood pressure and your heart at work?
When you are getting the doctor to take your blood pressure the readings are called: dystolic/systolic 120/80
What does it mean when systolic pressure is high and diastolic is low?
Whereas Systolic pressure means the peak in blood pressure when your heart contracts, Diastolicpressure is the pressure when your heart relaxes, between beats.Low diastolic pressure usually means a low total volume of blood in the vascular system for the heart to pump. The most common causes of this would be dehydration or hemorrhage.
What produces systolic pressure?
Systolic pressure is the maximum pressure during the hearts pumping cycle. It occurs during left ventricle contraction or sqeezing which forces the blood around the arteries
What is the difference between systolic pressure and diastolic pressure?
systolic pressure when ventricals are contracting while during diastole they are in relaxed state
What are the 2 numbers that make up blood pressure called?
The upper number is called the systolic, and is the pressure of how hard your heart is pumping. The lower number is the diastolic, and is how much the pressure is when your heart is relaxing between pumps.
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.
What is the relationship between peripheral resistance and blood pressure?
Systolic BP is a measure of blood pressure while the heart is pumping; diastolic BP is a measure of blood pressure while the heart is not pumping. BP is the pressure of the blood on the walls of the blood vessels.
What produces pressure?
Systolic pressure is the maximum pressure during the hearts pumping cycle. It occurs during left ventricle contraction or sqeezing which forces the blood around the arteries
What is systolic pressure measured?
The pressure inside the blood vessels at the end of the contraction of the heart. Diastolic pressure is the pressure between beats when the heart is relaxed. Blood pressures are systolic/diastolic; 120/80.
Is blood pressure the pressure of blood in the arteries?
Yes, blood pressure is a measure of the pressure exerted on your arterial walls as the heart pumps blood throughout the body (systolic) over the pressure when your heart is relaxed (diastolic).
When a pulse is palpated and counted which blood pressure would be a characteristic at that moment?
usually the systolic, as that is the one when the heart is actually pumping. usually reported as palpated 70 or whatever reading there was.
The peak blood pressure measured during ventricular systole is called?
Systolic Pressure
What is the highest pressure against the blood vessels?
systolic, its the number on top, that's why that number is larger
What are the two readings that are taken to find out blood pressure?
The two reading notes on a blood pressure reading is systolic and diastolic. Systolic reads the pressure in the arteries when the heart muscle beats or contracts. Diastolic reads the pressure in the arteries between beats or contractions.
