No, systolic pressure is the highest pressure against the walls of the blood vessels. Diastolic pressure is the lowest pressure against the walls of the blood vessels.
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.
The highest measured atmospheric pressure on Earth was 1,083.8 hPa recorded in Siberia. The lowest measured atmospheric pressure was 870 hPa during Typhoon Tip in 1979.
Diastole is the term meaning the period of ventricular relaxation with the lowest blood pressure. The diastolic number is the second or bottom number in the blood pressure reading, and it is always the lowest.
The three types of blood vessels are the capillaries, arteries, and veins. The veins are the ones that have the lowest pressure.
The highest altitudes have the lowest air pressure. Air pressure increases as altitude decreases. Above sea level is lower pressure; below sea level is higher pressure.
coz area is less thats y pressure is more
The lowest level of the deepest mine (In South Africa), will have the highest atmospheric pressure. But because of the forced ventilation and cooling systems needed, the air pressure at the lowest levels of the mine will not represent natural atmospheric pressures. [unless the ventilation systems fail!}
The layers of the Earth in order from lowest pressure to greatest pressure are the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. The inner core experiences the highest pressure due to the weight of all the layers above it.
The answer will depend on what the highest and lowest numbers are!The answer will depend on what the highest and lowest numbers are!The answer will depend on what the highest and lowest numbers are!The answer will depend on what the highest and lowest numbers are!
If it is below your heart then the reading could be falsely high; if it is too high, falsely low. This is due to the hydrostatic component of the blood pressure, which is due to gravity and varies only with the height of the point being measured (in a standing position lowest at the head, highest at the feet). When measuring blood pressure it is desirable to have the same hydrostatic component as at the heart. Therefore, by convention, the "right" blood pressure is the one taken at the heart level. Please note that a 10 cm difference in level between the point of measure and the heart would introduce an error of 7.6 mmHg.
The air pressure is lowest at the highest altitudes, such as at the top of Mount Everest or in the upper layers of the atmosphere. This is because as altitude increases, there are fewer air molecules above exerting pressure downward.
