blood pressure
blood pressure (phr)
English Definitions:
blood pressure (noun)
the pressure of the circulating blood against the walls of the blood vessels; results from the systole of the left ventricle of the heart; sometimes measured for a quick evaluation of a person's health
"adult blood pressure is considered normal at 120/80 where the first number is the systolic pressure and the second is the diastolic pressure"
blood pressure (Noun)
The pressure exerted by the blood against the walls of the arteries and veins; it varies during the heartbeat cycle, and according to a person's age, health and physical condition.
blood pressure (Noun)
The measurement of a person's blood pressure, expressed as systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure readings.
Blood pressure
Blood pressure, sometimes referred to as arterial blood pressure, is the pressure exerted by circulating blood upon the walls of blood vessels, and is one of the principal vital signs. When used without further specification, "blood pressure" usually refers to the arterial pressure of the systemic circulation. During each heartbeat, blood pressure varies between a maximum and a minimum pressure. The blood pressure in the circulation is principally due to the pumping action of the heart. Differences in mean blood pressure are responsible for blood flow from one location to another in the circulation. The rate of mean blood flow depends on the resistance to flow presented by the blood vessels. Mean blood pressure decreases as the circulating blood moves away from the heart through arteries and capillaries due to viscous losses of energy. Mean blood pressure drops over the whole circulation, although most of the fall occurs along the small arteries and arterioles. Gravity affects blood pressure via hydrostatic forces and valves in veins, breathing, and pumping from contraction of skeletal muscles also influence blood pressure in veins.
