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).
How would relaxing the smooth muscles in arteries affect blood pressure?
Blood pressure would decrease
Blood pressure that remains between heart contractions?
Diastolic Blood Pressure
Is the Systolic pressure is a measure of blood pressure when the ventricles relax and fill with blood?
No. I think the systolic pressure is when ventricles constrict and the blood goes out , while the diastolic pressure is when ventricles relax and fill with blood.
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.
What is the main use listed on the Losartan package insert?
"The Losartan package insert says Losartan is used to treat high blood pressure, or hypertension." Hypertension is the main use listed on the Losartan package insert.
What is the condition where blood vessels are not adequately filled and blood cannot circulate normally?

What will happen to your blood vessels if you eat to much fat?
The blood vessels will be more thinner, blood cannot pass smoothly and thus you will have blood pressure.
How does a blood pressure gauge (sphygmomanometer) work?
by killing egg cells you cannot kill eat
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.
How Cholesterol affects the respiratory system?
It indirectly affects the respiratory system. Cholesterol affects the circulatory system and there is high blood pressure. Due to high blood pressure, the heart cannot pump a lot of blood to the body which indirectly affects the lungs!
Blood pressure is a measurement of what?
Blood pressure is the measure of the force of the blood against the walls of the blood vessels that it is contained in. Blood pressure is usually expressed in mmHg as the systolic pressure divided by the diastolic pressure.
Can you have lie detector test done whilst pregnant?
There is no reason a pregnant woman cannot have a lie detector test done because it goes by blood pressure. When a person is trying to cover a lie their blood pressure rises.
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).
What happens to blood pressure as you exercise?
Blood pressure increases during excercise because the heart rate increases to allow more blood to get to the working muscles. However: Moderate exercise, i.e. walking, has benefits for people suffering high blood pressure. Research has shown that walking several times a week for at least half an hour can help lower high blood pressure. It is best to avoid continued strenuous exercise, however - high BP causes greater strain on the arteries, and in strenuous exercise, one is making one's heart work harder.
