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.
What is the lowest pressure against the walls of the blood vessels?
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 is the highest pressure against the blood vessels and also occurs when the ventricles contract?
The highest pressure against the blood vessels is Systolic Pressure, and it occurs when the ventricles contract.
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 can happen to blood pressure in preeclampsia and eclampsia?
The blood vessels are abnormally constricted, causing the heart to work even harder to pump against the small diameters of the vessels. This causes an increase in blood pressure.
In which kind of blood vessels is blood pressure usually highest?
The arteries, but to be exact, the aorta.
What is differenc between the blood pressure and heartbeat?
The heart beat is the beating of the heart. Blood pressure is the amount of pressure the heart beat causes the blood to push against the blood vessels.
Blood preaaure is defined as the force that blood exerts on the inner walls of blood vessels true or false?
True, blood pressure is the force that the blood exerts against the walls of the blood vessels, usually the arteries.
Blood pressure is affected by constriction and dilation of?
Blood vessels. Constriction of blood vessels increases blood pressure by reducing the space for blood flow, while dilation of blood vessels decreases blood pressure by increasing the space for blood flow.
Is blood pressure highest in the veins?
No. Veins carry the blood back to the heart, and are low-pressure vessels. The arteries are the high-pressure vessels.
What blood pressure readings means?
Blood vessels are the part of the circulatory system which transports blood throughout the body.Blood pressure (BP) is the pressure exerted by circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels. It means blood pressure is the speed of circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels.
When the heart contracts what receives its blood supply?
Blood pressure is the force of blood against the inner walls of arterial blood vessels. Blood pressure rises when the ventricles contract and falls when the ventricles relax. Systolic pressure is the maximum pressure and diastolic pressure is the minimum pressure.
