Question
Chapter 15.2, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: Whether the pressure waves occur simultaneously in a carotid artery and left wrist of a person.
Introduction: In the systemic circulation, more pressure begins in the aorta. This basically results from pressure formed by the left ventricle. The pressure in the aorta reaches an average of 120 mm Hg at the time of ventricular systole. This pressure then responsibly falls to a minimum of 80 mm Hg at the time of ventricular diastole.
