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 mitral valve opens, signifying the beginning of ventricular filling where the high pressure from the blood vessels forces blood into the expanding ventricle. After the ventricle fills and transitions to contracting, the pressure eventually exceeds that of the blood vessels.

Detailed explanation-2: -Systolic blood pressure is measured when the heart ventricles contract. Diastolic blood pressure is measured when the heart ventricles relax.

Detailed explanation-3: -The ventricles begin to contract (ventricular systole), raising pressure within the ventricles. When ventricular pressure rises above the pressure in the atria, blood flows toward the atria, producing the first heart sound, S1 or lub.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
