• It is the pressure exerted by the flow of blood on the walls of arteries and measured as millimeter of mercury by the instrument called ''sphygmomanometer''.
• It can be felt at certain places in our body viz wrist of the hands etc.
• It is recorded as systolic/diastolic.
• It has a high systolic value(normal 120 mm Hg) and low diastolic value (normal 80 mm Hg).
• It is lower in the capillaries than in arteries.
• It is usually lower in women than in women than in men.
• Hypertension/High Blood pressure Systolic pressure is more than 140 mm Hg and diastolic pressure is more than 90 mm Hg
• Hypertension/Low blood pressure Systolic pressure is below 110 mm Hg and diastolic pressure is below 70 mm Hg
• The larva of genus Chironomus is called bloodworm. It has haemoglobin, providing red colour to it.
