The greatest force of the blood against the walls of the arteries during ventricular contraction is called?
That is the Systolic Pressure.
A measure of the flow of the blood in arteries is called?
blood pressure
Why cannot take blood pressure if insert branula?
inflating the blood pressure cuf leads to pushing of the blood against the arteries and veins and may lead to rushing of blood out of branula
Why do arteries have thicker walls then veins?
Because arteries are narrower, thus increasing the pressure in the arteries. So you need thicker walls to contain the blood under pressure.
What is the blood pressure when blood leaves the small arteries and enters the capillaries?
The blood pressure is usually high when blood leaves the small arteries and enters the capillaries.
What is the highest pressure against the blood vessels?
systolic, its the number on top, that's why that number is larger

What is blood pressure-?
Blood pressure is the pressure of the blood in the circulatory system, often measured for diagnosis since it is closely related to the force and rate of the heartbeat and the diameter and elasticity of the arterial walls.
What is the pressure that blood exerts against the walls of the arteries when the hearts is in contracted state?
high blood
What is the lowest pressure exerted by blood in your arteries is your- blood pressure?
The lowest pressure exerted by blood in your arteries is your diastolic blood pressure.
120 over 80 blood pressure what is the first number?
The first number is called your systolic blood pressure and the second is called your diastolic. The Systolic is the pressure in your arteries when the ventricles are contracting - so it is the maximum pressure that the heart exerts on the arteries. The diastolic is the pressure when the heart is relaxed - so it is the minimum amount of pressure.
A measure of the flow of blood in arteries is called?
Blood flows away from the heart and is measured as blood pressure. This is a measure of the passage or flow and the resistance of the flow in the arteries.
What is the technical name for abnormally high blood pressure?
The technical name for abnormally high blood pressure is hypertension. It is a condition where the force of blood against the walls of the arteries is consistently too high.
