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 is the force exerted by blood as it moves through the blood vessels?

This is called blood pressure. Blood pressure is measured in two parts. The first number is the systolic blood pressure and this shows the pressure exerted on artery walls when the ventricles contract and pump blood into the arteries and around the body. The second number is the diastolic blood pressure and this shows the pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest and refilling ready for the next contraction.Blood pressureThis is known as blood pressure. The pressure high is during systole (when the heart pumps blood to the body) and a pressure low during diastole (when the heart is receiving blood back from the body)This is sometimes referred to as arterial pressure and different measurements are made regarding the arterial pressure such as the mean arterial pressure (MAP).

What is the force that is exerted by a gas called?

The force exerted by a gas is called pressure. Pressure is defined as force per unit area and is responsible for the push or pull that a gas exerts on its surroundings.


What is the force exerted by the weight of the air above is said to be?

The force exerted by the weight of the air above is called atmospheric pressure. It is the pressure exerted on Earth's surface by the weight of the air in the atmosphere above it.
