this is called the diastolic pressure meaning when the heart is in diastole. The diastolic number is the bottom number in common blood pressure. i.e. in a pressure 120/80 the lowest measured pressure is 80mmHg during ventricular relaxation

What is the systolic and diastolic?

Systole is the top number of a blood pressure reading. It is the heart contracting forcing blood out. Indicated by the first heart sound. Diastole is the bottom number of a blood pressure reading. It is the heart relaxing bringing blood back in.


Does the systemic arterial loop rise and fall in pressure with each heart beat?

No, it doesn't. The root of the aorta, being extremely flexible does, but the pressure at any point of the 'arterial tree' downstream of the aorta's 'root' remains at essentially constant pressure, -in the absence of sudden changes in stress, over reasonably long periods. If sudden demands for additional cardiac output are made, of course, then temporary increases may occur, which will revert to normal once the stress is removed.


What is eccentric left ventricular hypertrophy?

Ventricular hypertrophy means a thickening of the ventricle walls. This can then be described as eccentric or concentric. Eccentric hypertrophy is where the wall thickens but the ventricle itself dilates therefore the wall is thickened but the ventricular chamber remains the same size. Concentric hypertrophy is where the wall thickens which then makes the internal ventricular chamber smaller.


How much Blood pressure in veins?

Blood pressure in veins is significantly lower than in arteries, typically ranging from 5 to 15 mmHg. This lower pressure is due to the veins' role in returning deoxygenated blood to the heart under less force. The pressure in veins can vary depending on factors like body position and activity level, but it remains consistently lower than arterial pressure.

What happens to the pressure if the temperature is increased?

The pressure will increase if the volume remains the same.


If temperature remains constant but volume of gas increases then what happens with the pressure?

If temperature remains constant and the volume of gas increases, the pressure will decrease. This is described by Boyle's Law, which states that pressure and volume are inversely proportional when temperature is constant.


What happens to pressure when gas expands?

If the gas is contained at a constant volume, the pressure increases. If the gas is not contained, the pressure remains the same or drops.


What happens to the pressure at locations moving vertically up or down a pH constant-enthalpy line?

the pressure remains the same
