ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Systolic pressure is the maximum blood pressure during contraction of the ventricles; diastolic pressure is the minimum pressure recorded just prior to the next contraction. The blood pressure is usually written as the systolic pressure over the diastolic pressure (e.g., 120/80 mm Hg).

Detailed explanation-2: -The top number, or systolic pressure, refers to the pressure inside the artery when the heart contracts and pumps blood through the body. The bottom number, or diastolic pressure, refers to the pressure inside the artery when the heart is at rest and is filling with blood.

Detailed explanation-3: -When the left ventricle (LV) contracts, it generates a systolic blood pressure of 100-140 millimeters of Hg (mm Hg). The aortic diastolic pressure is usually 60-90 mm Hg.

Detailed explanation-4: -Systolic blood pressure is the pressure during heart contraction, while diastolic blood pressure is the pressure during heart relaxation. The normal range for blood pressure is between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg.

Detailed explanation-5: -Systole and diastole are two phases of the cardiac cycle that occur as the heartbeats, which pump blood through the system of blood vessels carrying blood to each part of the body. Systole occurs when the heart contracts, pumping blood out, while diastole takes place when the heart relaxes after contraction.
