Question

what is blood pressure?​

Answer 1

Answer:

the pressure of the blood in the circulatory system, often measured for diagnosis since it is closely related to the force and rate of the heartbeat and the diameter and elasticity of the arterial walls.

Explanation:

The force of circulating blood on the walls of the arteries. Blood pressure is taken using two measurements: systolic (measured when the heart beats, when blood pressure is at its highest) and diastolic (measured between heart beats, when blood pressure is at its lowest).

Answer 2

$\boxed{BLOOD\;PRESSURE}\rightarrow$

• It is the pressure which the blood flowing through the arteries exerts on their walls. The two limits of this pressure are the upper limit (systolic pressure) and the lower limit (diastolic pressure). Normal blood pressure for adults is 100 - 140 mm (systolic) and 60 - 80 mm (diastolic). A rise in blood pressure above 140/90 is called hypertension. Blood pressure can be measured with sphygmomanometer.
