high and low blood pressure, heart, and lungs.

There four classifications of adult blood pressure.

1. Normal

2. Prehypertensive

3. Stage 1 Hypertension

4. Stage 2 Hypertension.

Each of these are categorized by their variations in systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings.

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.


What are the names of the upper and lower blood pressure readings?

Blood pressure is the pressure of what the blood exerts on the walls of the blood vessels. The pressure, that the blood exerts on the wall of the blood vessel, depends on the the heart. When the heart (ventricles) contract, the blood is forced out and into the arteries. Since the blood it forced, the pressure is high. That gives you the higher reading, and it is called SYSTOLE. When the heart relaxes between contractions, blood is not forced into the artieries. But, the elastic walls of the arteries - which were streched by the force of the contraction before -, recoils, applying the pressure to the blood. That way the the blood keep flowing. Since this pressure is less then the pressure what the contraction gives, the reading will be lower. That lower reading is called DIASTOLE.


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 is blood pressure-?

Blood pressure is the pressure of the blood in the circulatory system, often measured for diagnosis since it is closely related to the force and rate of the heartbeat and the diameter and elasticity of the arterial walls.


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.


How are blood pressure and barometric pressure associated?

Changes in barometric pressure can affect blood pressure, especially in individuals who have cardiovascular conditions. When barometric pressure drops, it can cause blood vessels to dilate, leading to lower blood pressure. Conversely, when barometric pressure rises, it can cause blood vessels to constrict, resulting in higher blood pressure.
