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: -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-3: -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-4: -The pressure of blood inside the arteries during ventricular contraction is called systolic pressure and the pressure in the arteries during ventricular relaxation is called diastolic pressure.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
