Answer 1

Heya!

Here is ur answer...

BLOOD PRESSURE:

>> The force or pressure with which the blood flows in the vessels is called as BLOOD PRESSURE

>>Usually BP(BLOOD PRESSURE) is measured in the Artey

>> The BP is measured..by using a instrument called SPIGMOMANOMETER

>>There are two..pressures -

1.systolic :

• The pressure which is measured.. when blood flows into arteries from heart

• Its value is 120

2.Diastolic Pressure :

• The pressure which is measured when..heart is filled with the blood

• Its value is 80

The value of normal BP is 120/80

If there is any changes in this value..then it is called as HYPERTENSION(high BP) or HYPOTENSION(lowBP)

Hope it helps

Answer 2

Answer:

=> the pressure of flow of blood inside the body is known as blood pressure

SYSTOLIC PRESSURE : The minimum pressure at which blood leaves the heart through the main artery during contraction phase is called Systolic pressure.

Normal value of Systolic Pressure is 120mm Hg

DIASTOLIC PRESSURE : The minimum pressure in the arteries during the relaxation phase of heart is called Diastolic pressure.

The Normal value of Diastolic pressure is 80mm Hg.
