Diastolic blood pressure is a measure of the force that blood exerts on the walls of the?
A
Veins as the heart contracts
B
Arteries as the heart contracts
C
Arteries as the heart relaxes
D
Veins as the heart relaxes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The force that blood exerts force against the wall of a vessel is called blood pressure. 2. The pressure of blood inside the artery during contraction is called systolic pressure and pressure in an artery during relaxation is called diastolic pressure.

Detailed explanation-2: -Blood pressure is measured using two numbers: The first number, called systolic blood pressure, measures the pressure in your arteries when your heart beats. The second number, called diastolic blood pressure, measures the pressure in your arteries when your heart rests between beats.

Detailed explanation-3: -Blood pressure is the force of the blood pushing against the artery walls. The force is generated with each heartbeat as blood is pumped from the heart into the blood vessels. The size and elasticity of the artery walls also affect blood pressure.

Detailed explanation-4: -Blood pressure is measured both as the heart contracts, which is called systole, and as it relaxes, which is called diastole. Systolic blood pressure is measured when the heart ventricles contract. Diastolic blood pressure is measured when the heart ventricles relax.

Detailed explanation-5: -The force of circulating blood on the walls of the arteries. Blood pressure is taken using two measurements: systolic (measured when the heart beats, when blood pressure is at its highest) and diastolic (measured between heart beats, when blood pressure is at its lowest).
