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.
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 medical term meaning wave of increased pressure produced in the vessels each time the ventricles contract?

120 over 80 blood pressure what is the first number?
The first number is called your systolic blood pressure and the second is called your diastolic. The Systolic is the pressure in your arteries when the ventricles are contracting - so it is the maximum pressure that the heart exerts on the arteries. The diastolic is the pressure when the heart is relaxed - so it is the minimum amount of pressure.
What are the blood vessels lying directly on the heart called?
ventricles
What is the highest pressure against the blood vessels?
systolic, its the number on top, that's why that number is larger
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.
How is heart connected to the body?
through ventricles connecting your airway and blood vessels together
