To Fill:
The systematic pressure for which the term blood pressure is used
Introduction:
Blood Pressure (BP) is measured by using two numbers. An average blood pressure of the human is 120/80 mmHg. The systolic pressure is the analysis of the pressure in the blood vessels (arteries) when the heartbeats.
Answer to Problem 1.1A
The term blood pressure most commonly is used to refer to systematic Arterial pressure.
Explanation of Solution
Arterial pressure is the pressure that functions when the volume of blood enters the arteries (both stroke volume and heart rate) and the volume of blood that exits the arteries.
The normal blood pressure of the human is 120/80 mmHg. The systolic pressure is the analysis of the pressure in the blood vessels (arteries) when the heart beats. Systolic pressure is identified by the first upper number. The diastolic pressure is the analysis of the pressure when the heart relaxes between beats. Diastolic pressure is identified by the second lower number.
The term blood pressure most commonly is used to refer to systematic Arterial pressure.
