The apparatus is called a sphygmomanometer because the term is derived from Greek words: "sphygmos," meaning pulse, and "manometer," meaning pressure measuring device. It is used to measure blood pressure by assessing the force of blood against the walls of the arteries. The device typically consists of an inflatable cuff, a pressure gauge, and a bulb for inflation. Its name reflects its primary function of gauging the pulse pressure within the circulatory system.
