How do blood pressure regulators detect high blood pressure?

Each time the heart contracts a sound is heard, a gauge on the sphygmomanometer measures the pressure that blood exerts during ventricle contraction.


Do high blood pressure medications contain nitrate?

Yes Nitrates lower blood pressure. This is because nitrates open up the blood vessels. When this happens the blood exerts less pressure because it can flow more


What numbers represent normal blood pressure?

Normal blood pressure is measured by two numbers that represent how much mercury is in your blood. A completely normal blood pressure reads: Below 120 / below 80.


What is blood pressure used to evaluate?

Your systole and diastole (or systolic and diastolic pressure). Systolic pressure is the pressure your blood exerts on blood vessels when your heart pumps out blood while diastolic pressure is the pressure your blood exerts on blood vessels when your heart is at rest(in between pumps). Blood pressure is stated as systolic pressure/diastolic pressure. The normal BP is 120/80 mmHg.


Why blood pressure is expressed with two number?

When a blood vessel (like an elastic pipe) is empty there is no pressure on its wall. When there is blood flowing in a blood vessel it exerts pressure on the walls of the blood vessel (pipe). This is the basal pressure called the Diastolic pressure (The lower of the two numbers). When the heart pumps blood it drives the blood with force and this exerts higher pressure on the walls of the blood vessel. This is called the Systolic pressure, the higher number in the blood pressure measurement. Thus, Blood Pressure of 120/70 means the systolic pressure is 120 and the diastolic pressure is 70.


What creates blood pressure?

The Cardiovascular system is slightly overfilled with blood , As result blood exerts an outward force against vessel wall , as it flow through them The term blood pressure refers to force exerted by Blood as it pressure against & Attempts to stretch the wall of blood vesseles


What is p02?

P02 is the partial pressure that oxygen exerts on a vein, artery or any other blood vessel.


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.

When is systolic presssure mesured?

Systolic pressure is a representation of the maximum pressure exerted on the arteries. Systolic pressure measures the maximum amount of pressure the blood exerts during a heart beat.
