The Chamber that creates the highest pressure is the Left Ventricle. It must do this to get the blood all the way around the body, including right up to the top of the heat, but more importantly it must overcome the huge pressure in the Aorta. This is because of the Aortic Valve which sits stops the blood being pushy back formthe aorta into the ventrivle. The high blood pressure in the aorta holds this valve shut tight. A pressure greater than the one holding any vavle shut is required to open it, ie the ventricular presure must be greater than the aortic pressure is required to force the aortic valve open.

What is a systolic period?
The systolic period is the phase of the cardiac cycle when the heart muscle contracts to pump blood out of the chambers (ventricles) into the arteries. This period is characterized by an increase in blood pressure as the heart contracts.
What generates blood pressure?
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.
What is the term used for arterial pressure during ventricular systole?
The term used for arterial pressure during ventricular systole is systolic blood pressure. It represents the maximum pressure exerted on the walls of the arteries when the heart contracts and pumps blood into the circulatory system.
Pressure in the aorta is greatest during what?
The pressure in the aorta is greatest during ventricular systole, which is when the heart contracts and pumps blood into the aorta. This creates a surge in pressure that is known as systolic blood pressure.
What cavities has the highest density of cardiac muscle tissue?
The left ventricle of the heart has the highest density of cardiac muscle tissue because it is responsible for pumping oxygenated blood to the entire body. This chamber experiences the most pressure and workload, requiring a strong muscular wall.
What happens As the heart chamber contracts what happens to the fluid in the chamber?
As the heart chamber contracts, the pressure within the chamber increases, forcing the fluid (blood) out of the chamber and into the arteries. This contraction, known as systole, reduces the volume of the chamber while propelling blood forward to supply the body with oxygen and nutrients. Simultaneously, the valves ensure that blood flows in the correct direction, preventing backflow.
Heart chamber contracts with most force?
The left ventricle. This is because it has to contract against the highest resistance, aortic pressure and systemic vascular resistance. Systolic pressure is pumping he blood from the left ventricle into the rest of the human body. It takes a lot of force to get blood to go through your circulatory system.
What pressure is exerted when blood is pumped out of the heart?
The pressure generated when blood is pumped out of the heart is called systolic blood pressure. It is the highest pressure in the arteries during the cardiac cycle and represents the force of blood against the arterial walls when the heart contracts.
What chamber of the heart exerts the greatest force?
The chamber of the heart that produces the greatest pressure is the left ventricle. This pressure can be quantified by the systolic blood pressure, or the top number of the patient's blood pressure.
What the ventricles do?
I'm assuming you mean the heart. they are the chamber that contracts pumps the blood.
In which type of blood vessel is blood at its highest blood pressure?
Aorta has highest pressure. Pressure gradually decreases as blood moves towards heart.
What two creatures in the animal kingdom have the highest blood pressure?
The giraffe has the highest blood pressure in the animal kingdom. The next highest blood pressure belongs to the elephant.
When the heart contracts and forces blood into the arteries the pressure created is known as the?
Systolic blood pressure
Where in systemic circulation is Blood Pressure highest?
What position is blood pressure normally the highest and lowest?If a person was sitting, reclining, or standing, which position would cause the blood pressure to be highest and lowest?Also, if there was an increase in blood viscosity, cardiac ouput, and diameter of the arterioles would this constitute to an increase in blood pressure as well?blood pressure (BP) is usuall lowest standing position and highest in supine (reclining) position. This is because the blood return to the heart is decreased when standing.http://www.bloodpressureinc.com/what-position-is-blood-pressure-normally-the-highest-and-lowest/Exercise is at its highest when we exercise and lowest when we sleep.
Define systolic and diastolic blood pressure?
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.
Where is blood pressure the highest?
Aorta
What is the medical term meaning highest pressure against the walls of the blood vessels?
The systolic pressure is the highest pressure measured against the walls of blood vessels.
