Diastolic Blood Pressure
diastolic pressure
No, veins carry blood at a lower pressure than arteries. Blood in arteries is propelled by heart contractions. Venous blood is propelled only by body movement and gravity.
Your heart contracts, forcing your blood out your aorta, and through your body.
A giraffe has double the normal blood pressure in order to pump blood up it's neck.
blood pressure 120/80 heart rate between 60-100
The normal blood pressure is usually between 120-140 mm Hg (systolic) and 80 - 90 mm Hg (diastolic). Anything higher will be considered as high blood pressure
diastolic pressure
"Diastolic" refers to the phase of the heartbeat when the heart muscle relaxes and fills with blood. It is the lower number in a blood pressure reading and represents the pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest between contractions.
No, veins carry blood at a lower pressure than arteries. Blood in arteries is propelled by heart contractions. Venous blood is propelled only by body movement and gravity.
This is impossible. Systolic pressure is the pressure in the artery during the heart contractions. Diastolic pressure is during heart relaxation. Picture this, and you'd see that it's impossible to have diastolic pressure equal or greater than systolic pressure.
Systole is the top number of a blood pressure reading. It is the heart contracting forcing blood out. Indicated by the first heart sound. Diastole is the bottom number of a blood pressure reading. It is the heart relaxing bringing blood back in.
The blood is able to move to and from the heart through the contraction of the heart muscle. These contractions build up pressure and cause you to have what is commonly known as blood pressure. That build up of pressure pushes the blood throughout the arteries and veins and enables it to circulate throughout the body.
Yes. The top number which is called Systolic is the pressure on the arteries when the heart is contracting. The bottom number which is called Diastolic, is the pressure on the arteries when the heart is relaxed. If you were to feel your pulse, it has a rhythm. When you feel the heart is contracting. The heart is relaxing between the beats.
Your heart contracts, forcing your blood out your aorta, and through your body.
Blood flow remains constant in a persons body unless blocked.
The cells of the juxtaglomerular complex of the nephron. Granular cells in the kidney monitor alteration in blood pressure. If blood pressure falls and remains low, this specialized cells release the enzyme renin into the blood stream.
High Blood Pressure and Hypertension are the same thing
I am sure you mean the lowest. It is the lowest in the venous side of the circulatory system and it is highest in the arteries right off the heart. The very lowest blood pressure would be in the veins and the blood flow will need help to move blood back to the heart by muscle contractions and breathing. There is where the blood flow is the slowest.
