Question

What is normal blood pressure?

Answer 1

blood pressure or BP indicates the pressure or rate at which heart is pumping into the arteries.For a healthy person the systolic pressure is 120 and the diastolic pressure is 80 i.e..120/80.this is known as normal bp.

Answer 2

Blood pressure

Explanation:-

• The force that blood exerts on the wall of a vessel is called blood pressure.
• The blood pressure is much higher in the arteries than in the veins.
• During ventricular systole (i.e. contraction), the pressure of the blood inside the artery is known as the systolic pressure.
• In addition, the pressure in the artery during ventricular diastole (relaxation) is called diastolic pressure.
• The normal measurement of systolic pressure is about 120 mm Hg and diastolic pressure is 80 mm Hg. This increase in pressure is known as hypertension or high blood pressure.
• The device used to calculate blood pressure is named a sphygmomanometer.
