Does blood pressure rise when there is exertion?

Your circulatory system maintains pressure in your arteries and your heart pumps against it. Blood pressure numbers reflect your arterial pressure when your heart pushes blood through your system, and also when your heart rests between beats. The "active" pressure is the top number on your blood pressure reading. It is the "systolic" pressure. The "passive," or "resting," pressure is the bottom number, and represents the "diastolic" pressure. Healthy blood pressure numbers are 120 systolic over 80 diastolic, or slightly lower Blood pressure changes throughout your day, depending on your position, your anxiety level, and your activity level. Chronic high blood pressure increases your risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke, but temporary increases in blood pressure allow you to meet the demands you put on your body when you exercise. Without adequate pressure, your blood delivery system fails. so,yes !!


What would happen if a valve in the heart stopped working properly?

One result could be heart failure, which despite the sound of it is not an acute sudden and complete termination of heart function. If the 'left heart' fails, the part of the heart that specializes in moving blood from the lungs to the body, then there is usually a build-up over time of fluid in the lungs. If the 'right heart' fails, the part of the heart that moves blood from the body to the lungs for oxygenation, then there may be edema (swelling) in the body's extremities.


What is the meaning of the proverb it is more difficult and more bitter when a man fails alone in things fall apart?

When a man fails alone, it is more likely that the man will be blamed for the failure. When a man fails with others, it is more likely that the circumstances will be blamed for the failure. A failure of self is more damning than a failure due to circumstance.

What causes coolant to back flow through the radiator?

Coolant can backflow through the radiator due to issues such as a faulty thermostat, which may not open properly, or a malfunctioning water pump that fails to maintain adequate pressure. Additionally, a clogged radiator or hoses can obstruct normal flow and cause coolant to flow in reverse. Air pockets in the cooling system can also disrupt the intended flow path, leading to backflow. It's essential to address these problems promptly to prevent overheating and engine damage.

What can cause blood to move back through a valve?

Blood can move back through a valve due to valve insufficiency or regurgitation, where the valve fails to close properly, allowing blood to flow backward. This can be caused by various factors, including damage to the valve from conditions like rheumatic fever or endocarditis, congenital heart defects, or degenerative changes due to age. Increased pressure in the heart chambers can also exacerbate the issue, leading to further backflow. Consequently, this can result in inefficient circulation and various cardiovascular complications.


Why do veins have one way valves?

The one way valve prevent blood seeping backwards (downwards) due to gravity. For instance, if a valve in the leg fails or doesn't work properly, Varicose veins (swollen and enlarged veins) will occur.
