Chapter 42, Problem 42.3CR
Summary Introduction
To explain: How blood pressure of an arm changes when a person places his/her forearm on their head.
Concept introduction: Blood pressure is generated by the contraction of the heart ventricle, and it supplies force in all directions. It is measured using the sphygmomanometer. Normal range of blood pressure is 120/80 mmHg, where 120 mmHg is generally referred as systolic pressure and 80 mmHg taken as diastolic pressure.
