Arteries. This is because the heart is pumping the blood away from the heart through the arteries, thus they are very high pressure due to the force of the blood being pushed quickly through a confined space.
The blood pressure is usually high when blood leaves the small arteries and enters the capillaries.
Because arteries are narrower, thus increasing the pressure in the arteries. So you need thicker walls to contain the blood under pressure.
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
A 7-month old baby with a congenital heart disease does usually have a high blood pressure and not a normal blood pressure.
Arteries carry blood away from the heart and veins carry blood into the heart.
No, the arteries have higher blood pressure.
As blood enters the capillary bed on the arteriole end, the blood pressure in the capillary vessel is greater than the osmotic pressure of the blood in the vessel. The net result is that fluid moves from the vessel to the body tissue.At the middle of the capillary bed, blood pressure in the vessel equals the osmotic pressure of the blood in the vessel. The net result is that fluid passes equally between the capillary vessel and the body tissue. Gasses, nutrients, and wastes are also exchanged at this point.On the venue end of the capillary bed, blood pressure in the vessel is less than the osmotic pressure of the blood in the vessel. The net result is that fluid, carbon dioxide and wastes are drawn from the body tissue into the capillary vessel.
Aorta has highest pressure. Pressure gradually decreases as blood moves towards heart.
The sphygmomanometer works by putting pressure on a blood vessel and then measuring when the blood vessel starts to pump blood again after pressure is lessened. This device is also called a blood pressure monitor.
The blood vessel that has a pulse is an artery. Veins do not have enough blood pressure to register a pulse.
Blood pressure increases if the diameter of the blood vessel decreases.
When a blood vessel (like an elastic pipe) is empty there is no pressure on its wall. When there is blood flowing in a blood vessel it exerts pressure on the walls of the blood vessel (pipe). This is the basal pressure called the Diastolic pressure (The lower of the two numbers). When the heart pumps blood it drives the blood with force and this exerts higher pressure on the walls of the blood vessel. This is called the Systolic pressure, the higher number in the blood pressure measurement. Thus, Blood Pressure of 120/70 means the systolic pressure is 120 and the diastolic pressure is 70.
arterioles
Yes
Blood Pressure can be affected by all three factors. If the vessel diameter increases (vasodilation) Blood Pressure can be lowered. Blood Viscosity can also have an affect on blood pressure, the more viscous (thicker) the blood is, the slower it will flow through the body. Finally, irregular surfaces of the blood vessel wall can cause them to catch or become stuck, which ultimately slows blood flow, reducing blood pressure!
veins
The arteries, but to be exact, the aorta.
