What causes blood pressure?
A
ventricles contract
B
rate of blood flow
C
speed of return of oxygen to lungs
D
capillariy strenght
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The semilunar valves open when the ventricular muscle contracts and generates blood pressure within the ventricle higher than within the arterial tree. When the heart muscle relaxes the diastole phase begins again.

Detailed explanation-2: -As the ventricles contract, ventricular pressure exceeds arterial pressure, the semilunar valves open and blood is pumped into the major arteries. However, when the ventricles relax, arterial pressure exceeds ventricular pressure and the semilunar valves snap shut.

Detailed explanation-3: -The sinus node generates an electrical stimulus regularly, 60 to 100 times per minute under normal conditions. The atria are then activated. The electrical stimulus travels down through the conduction pathways and causes the heart’s ventricles to contract and pump out blood.
