What is systolic and diastolic pressure explain
Answers
Systolic Pressure : Pressure exerted by the blood on the walls of artery during ventricular contraction. 120 mm Hg
Diastolic Pressure : Pressure exerted by the blood on the walls of artery during ventricular relaxation. 80 mm Hg
Normal Blood pressure is 120/80
High blood pressure is known as hypertension. It is caused by the constriction of arteries or arterioles which results in increased resistance to blood flow. It may lead to the rupturing of arteries and internal bleeding. It also leads to various health problems.
Blood Pressure is measured by an instrument known as sphygmomanometer.
Answer:
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.
