Pressure exerted by blood on the wall of
artery is arterial blood pressure. Pressure on
arterial wall during ventricular contraction
(systole) is systolic pressure (SP). For a normal
healthy adult the average value is 120 mmHg.
Pressure on arterial wall during relaxation
of ventricles is diastolic pressure (DP). For a
normal healthy adult it is 80 mmHg.
B P = SP / DP
= 120/80 mmHg

Answer:
Arterial blood pressure is defined as the force that is exerted by the blood on the arterial wall. Arterial blood pressure is not cardiac output, and it should not be assumed that adequate blood pressure is synonymous with adequate cardiac output.
