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 !!

How blood pressure is greater than atmospheric pressure?
Blood pressure is the blood flow when the heart is pumping (top number) and when the heart is resting (bottom number). The body is a closed system and requires enough blood pressure to pump the blood throughout the body. A typically healthy blood pressure would be 120mmHg/70mmHg. Atmospheric pressure is the weight of the atmosphere at a specific location and altitude. At sea level, atmospheric pressure is 760mmHg. So actually, atmospheric pressure is much greater than blood pressure. Most people never have to worry about atmospheric pressure affecting blood pressure. However, deep sea divers experience an increase in blood pressure while diving, and astronauts experience a decrease in blood pressure when in space.
When blood leaves the heart and travels through the circulation does the pressure change?
Yes; the blood pressure tends to be highest closest to the heart (actually, the highest pressure in the circulatory system is in the left ventricle) and slowly drops as it reaches the capillaries. However, there is still some blood pressure at the capillaries, which is why the serum can be forced across the capillary wall into the extracellular fluid to exchange nutrients. There is also some blood pressure in the venous system, although it is much lower than the arterial side.
Why doesn't the blood pressure within the arteries drop to zero?
The circulatory system is a closed system, it shouldn't be zero anywhere.
What is sphygmomanometers?

How do you use a sphygmanometer?
a pressure gauge for measuring blood pressure
What is a blood pressure dinamap?
a blood pressure measuring device that largely replaced sphygmomanometers
A sphygmomonometer is used for?
measuring blood pressure
What is blood pressure measurement?

What is the function of shygmomanometer?
An instrument for measuring blood pressure.
How do ordinary people call a sphygmomanometer?
A pressure gauge for measuring blood pressure
How do you use a sphygmomamometer?

What is disatolic?
When measuring blood pressure, this is the lower number. It is the pressure in the heart as it rests between beats.
What is sphygmomamometer used for?
A sphygmomanometer is the gauge used for measuring blood pressure.
Whats another name for sphygmomanometer?
It is the cuff for measuring blood pressure.
What is the machanism of sphygmomanometer?
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.
