Question

Define systolic and diastolic blood pressure of blood what is the normal systolic and diastolic pressure of human beings

Answer 1

person’s blood pressure is recorded as two different numbers — the systolic blood pressure and the diastolic blood pressure. These two numbers reflect different aspects of the pressure being exerted by your blood as it pulses through your arteries.

The Blood Pressure Reading:

Your blood pressure reading is written as 120/80

It is spoken like this: “120 over 80.”

The systolic blood pressure reading is the higher number. The diastolic blood pressure reading is the lower number.

The units are millimeters of mercury (mmHg).

Both the systolic and diastolic pressures are important. If the readings are too high, hypertension may be present.1 If the blood pressure readings are too low, there may be insufficient blood flow to critical organs, such as the brain.
