1. blood pressure

   Blood pressure is the force exerted by circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels. It is typically measured to understand the overall health of an individual's cardiovascular system. Blood pressure is one of the vital signs and is usually expressed in terms of the systolic pressure (maximum during one heartbeat) over diastolic pressure (minimum in between two heartbeats) and is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). Normal blood pressure is typically around 120/80 mmHg. Abnormally high or low blood pressure could signal potential health problems.

1. 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.
