What is the name of the blood pressure measuered when the ventricles relax?

The blood pressure measured when the ventricles relax is called diastolic blood pressure. It is the lower number in a blood pressure reading, representing the pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest between contractions.


When is blood pressure in the systematic arteries the greatest?

Blood pressure in the systemic arteries is greatest during systole. Systole is the part of the heart cycle during which the ventricles contract.


As heart ventricles contract and then relax blood pressure inside of arteries change from?

Does the ventricles pump blood into the arteries?

Yes.


What pumps blood away from heart?

Arteries carry blood away from the heart.


Which phase in cardiac cycle is systolic pressure?

Blood flows into the relaxed atria while the ventricles contract. <rephrased> The ventricles contract, carrying blood into the aorta, and blood flows into the relaxed atria.


Is the Systolic pressure is a measure of blood pressure when the ventricles relax and fill with blood?

No. I think the systolic pressure is when ventricles constrict and the blood goes out , while the diastolic pressure is when ventricles relax and fill with blood.


What controls the flowing of blood from the ventricles to the arteries?

triscupid valve

Do arteries carry blood from the ventricles of the heart to the organs of the body?

Yes


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 is the pressure in the arteries during relaxation of the ventricles called?

Blood can only enter an artery, be it the aorta, when the left ventricle contracts, or the pulmonary arteries, when the right ventricle contracts, which both occur at the same time after ventricular systole which is contraction. Therefore, the answer is contract.
