The atria
Actually, it is the contractions (squeezing) of the ventricles (the lower parts of the heart), not the atria (the upper parts), that do the pumping. That's why the lower part of the heart is larger, and the muscular walls are thicker.
The atria receive the blood from the body and pump it down into the ventricles.
Yes it does.
Diastolic pressure
they are in the arteries
The ventricles contract and force the blood under pressure, past the semi lunar valves into the arteries. The closing of the bicuspid and tricuspid valves prevents back flow. At the same time the atria and ventricles relax and blood begins to flow back into them from the veins.
No such thingBlood pressure (BP) is the pressure (force per unit area) exerted by circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels, and constitutes one of the principal vital signs. The pressure of the circulating blood decreases as it moves away from the heart through arteries and capillaries, and toward the heart through veins.
systole
Yes it does.
Blood Pressure: The force at which blood flows through the arteries in the body. Systolic: Refers to the pressure on the arteries as the heart contracts (squeezes). Diastolic: Refers to the pressure on the vessels as the heart relaxes.
Diastolic pressure
Much lower... because arterial walls get their pressure via force of the left ventricle pumping into the arteries. Veins are not exposed to such force and get their pressure via muscle pumps.Much lower... because arterial walls get their pressure via force of the left ventricle pumping into the arteries. Veins are not exposed to such force and get their pressure via muscle pumps.
Blood pressure is generated by the force exerted by the heart pumping blood into the arteries and the resistance encountered by the blood flow in the arteries. The systolic pressure is the pressure when the heart contracts and pushes blood out, while the diastolic pressure is the pressure when the heart relaxes and refills with blood.
The upper Blood Pressure Number is the Systolic, Which is the force of blood in your arteries when you heart beats.
Peak force refers to the maximum amount of force exerted during a specific period of time, such as in a particular motion or exercise. It represents the highest level of force generated by a muscle or exerted on an object before decreasing.
This typically refers to a measurement of pressure or force exerted per linear foot. In this case, it means that there is a force of 169 pounds acting on every foot of a surface or object.
Output force refers to the force exerted by a machine to overcome a load or resistance. It is the force that is applied by the machine to move, lift, or push an object.

One synonym for pressure is "stress." It refers to the force or tension exerted on something.
