Who would have a higher pulse pressure a resting athlete or a resting person who never exercise?

A person who has never exercised before would have a higher heart rate and blood pressure than an ahlete at rest. A athlete could have a heart rate below 60 BPM becauses they have a stronger and healthy heartEdit to add: Uhh ... While all of this may be true, the question is asking about a higher pulse pressure. Pulse pressure refers to the difference between systolic and diastolic pressure. Due primarily to decreases in the diastolic pressure observed in athletes, a resting athlete will have the higher *PULSE PRESSURE*.


What is a normal blood pressure reading?

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


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 pulmonary circulation a high or low pressure circulation?

It is both: Higher pressure incoming and Lower pressure on the extruding end.


What is widening pulse pressure?

When diastolic blood pressure (the lower BP number) is subtracted from the systolic blood pressure (the higher BP number), and the value is 60 or more, there is a widened pulse pressure. With persistently widened pulse pressures, individuals are at increased risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular (stroke) events.

What animals are known as the gazelle-giraffe?

I've heard it called the giraffe gazelle: it's a gerenuk. They have long necks and stand on their hind legs as well so that they can feed higher up on plants.


What is the connections between air pressure and wind?

The relationship between air pressure and windis that air from areas of higher pressure flow to areas of lower pressure, creating wind.


What is Flowing air responding to the difference between higher and lower pressure is responding to what?

Flowing air responds to the difference in pressure between higher and lower pressure areas by moving from high pressure to low pressure to equalize the pressure. This movement of air creates wind, which is the result of the pressure difference seeking equilibrium.


What does the vapor pressure graph reveal about the relationship between temperature and vapor pressure?

The vapor pressure graph shows that as temperature increases, the vapor pressure also increases. This indicates a direct relationship between temperature and vapor pressure, where higher temperatures result in higher vapor pressures.


How does pressure affect the temperature at which water boils?

There is a direct relationship between the temperature at which water boils and the air pressure on it. Higher pressure, higher boiling point. Lower pressure, lower boiling point.

Giraffe's get their food by reaching high into the trees to eat and have to spread out their legs and reach down to get their water.


What is the relationship between the air pressure and how high above the earth you are?

the higher you are, the higher the air pressure, thats why airoplanes cant go too high, there is less oxygen and more air pressure


What is the relationship between pressure and the boiling point of water?

The relationship between pressure and the boiling point of water is that as pressure increases, the boiling point of water also increases. This means that water will boil at a higher temperature under higher pressure. Conversely, water will boil at a lower temperature under lower pressure.


What is the direction of the net force between two pressure systems?

The direction of the net force between two pressure systems depends on their relative magnitudes and locations. If one system has higher pressure than the other, the net force usually points from higher pressure to lower pressure, resulting in air flow or wind.


What is the relationship between pressure and humidity in the atmosphere?

The relationship between pressure and humidity in the atmosphere is that as air pressure increases, the capacity of the air to hold water vapor also increases. This means that higher pressure generally leads to higher humidity levels, while lower pressure typically results in lower humidity levels.


What does the vapor pressure vs temperature graph reveal about the relationship between vapor pressure and temperature?

The vapor pressure vs temperature graph shows that as temperature increases, the vapor pressure also increases. This indicates that there is a direct relationship between vapor pressure and temperature, where higher temperatures lead to higher vapor pressures.
