Question

Blood pressure (BP) is the pressure of circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels. Most of this pressure is due to work done by the heart by pumping blood through the circulatory system. Used without further specification, "blood pressure" usually refers to the pressure in large arteries of the systemic circulation. Blood pressure is usually expressed in terms of the systolic pressure (maximum during one heartbeat) over diastolic pressure (minimum in between two heartbeats) and is measured in millimetres of mercury (mm Hg), above the surrounding atmospheric pressure.Blood pressure is one of the vital signs, along with respiratory rate, heart rate, oxygen saturation, and body temperature.



A doctor reports blood pressure in millimetres of mercury (mm Hg) as a ratio of systolic blood pressure to diastolic blood pressure (such as 140 over 80). Systolic pressure is measured when the heart beats, and diastolic pressure is measured when it rests. Refer to the table of blood pressure ranges for adults



Based on the above situation, answer the following questions:

1. Aditya is a healthy 35 years old man whose blood pressure is in the normal category. Calculate an approximate ratio of systolic to diastolic blood pressures in the normal range.*
