What else can I help you with?
Is it possible for boys to get a hard-on after they're dead?
No. There has to be blood pressure for there to be a hard-on, and the blood pressure disappears when the heart stops.
What is measured when taking a persons blood pressure?
blood pressure is a measure of how hard your heart has to work to pump blood through your body. there is a systolic and a diastolic measure.... basically if your heart is having to work really hard to get blood to your whole body, there is a problem with your arteries (or your heart)
Should you go in a jacuzzi if you have high blood pressure?
No!!! If you do that, then your body starts pumping more blood to cool off from internal heat, but with high blood pressure it makes your heart work super hard. If you go into a jacuzzi with high blood pressure, it could KILL YOU!
Why blood pressure is expressed with two number?
When a blood vessel (like an elastic pipe) is empty there is no pressure on its wall. When there is blood flowing in a blood vessel it exerts pressure on the walls of the blood vessel (pipe). This is the basal pressure called the Diastolic pressure (The lower of the two numbers). When the heart pumps blood it drives the blood with force and this exerts higher pressure on the walls of the blood vessel. This is called the Systolic pressure, the higher number in the blood pressure measurement. Thus, Blood Pressure of 120/70 means the systolic pressure is 120 and the diastolic pressure is 70.
How is high blood hydrostatic produced?
High blood hydrostatic pressure can be caused by conditions such as hypertension, heart failure, or kidney disease. These conditions can lead to an increase in the pressure that blood exerts on the walls of blood vessels, which can result in high blood hydrostatic pressure.
What blood vessel carries blood at high pressure and why?
Arteries carry blood at high pressure, simply because they are linked directly to the heart and lungs.
What should a child's blood pressure be?
Blood pressure is how hard the blood is flowing against the walls of blood vessels in the body. It is good to be asking about normal blood pressure values for children because most people think "high" blood pressure (hypertension) is something that only happens to adults. This is hardly the case, as about 5 percent of children have it, too. High blood pressure often does not cause any symptoms in children, but if not treated, it can cause serious health problems in the future. While I cannot answer your question exactly, the numbers do not change that much from year to year. In fact, blood pressure and heart rate in older children are not that much different from adult values. For boys and girls around your children's ages, normal blood pressures would be around 110 to 120 (systolic) over 70 to 80 (diastolic), and heart rates would range from 50 to 180. Having a blood pressure above these normal values on one occasion does not necessarily mean that a child has high blood pressure. Before a child is said to have high blood pressure, the readings would need to be high on three separate occasions, a few days or even weeks apart.

What two features of the circulatory system may produce high blood pressure?
Two features of the cirulatory sytem that might produce high blood pressure are heart rate and artery size. If your hert is beating fast, it will push blood rapidly through the arteries, building up blood pressure. If your artery size are small, then the narrow or partly clogged arteries produce high blood pressure. A third option would be artery elasticity. If you artery looses their elasticity and becomes hard, it may also produce high blood pressure as well. Hope that answers your question!! ;)
What is HCT in blood pressure medication?
It is an abbreviation for "hydrochloric thyazide" (commonly called just "thyazide") one of the oldest, safest blood pressure meds. It is basically a diuretic - it increases urination, which removes more liquid from the bloodstream - which reduces blood pressure. With less fluid volume in the bloodstream, the heart does not have to pump as hard - the blood pressure is consequently, not so high.
What causes blood vessels to rupture?
Blood vessels can be ruptured by extensive pressure to certain points of the body. Whether it be internal or external, certain force applied to your body builds an accumulated amount of blood calls to form together thus creating the vessel which carries the blood cells to rupture to relieve pressure. Think volcano or filling a water balloon until it has reached its capacity. External pressure caused by blunt force, ex: a hard hit to the body causes a blood vessel to rupture as you would expect a hole to occur in wall from a hard hit. Blood vessels are delicate and depending on person to person any force pressure etc applied will indeed burst, tear or rupture.
Can your spleen cause high blood pressure?
Indirectly perhaps, but it is the heart and the system of veins and arteries which are the problem in high blood pressure; the heart is pumping extra hard and/or the arteries/veins are restricted by blockage.
