What is the definition of blood pressure?
A
The amount of blod pumped out of the heart per minute
B
The amount of blood pumped out of the heart in one beat
C
the speed at which blood travels
D
force exerted by circulating blood on walls of blood vessels
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Blood pressure is the force of your blood pushing against the walls of your arteries. Each time your heart beats, it pumps blood into the arteries. Your blood pressure is highest when your heart beats, pumping the blood. This is called systolic pressure.

Detailed explanation-3: -The pressure that blood exerts in the capillaries is known as blood pressure. The force of hydrostatic pressure means that as blood moves along the capillary, fluid moves out through its pores and into the interstitial space.

Detailed explanation-4: -What is blood pressure? Blood pressure is the pressure of blood pushing against the walls of your arteries. Arteries carry blood from your heart to other parts of your body. Your blood pressure normally rises and falls throughout the day.

Detailed explanation-5: -The force per unit area is the blood pressure and it is measured by using a device called a sphygmomanometer, which reads the pressure during systole (contraction of the ventricle) and diastole (relaxation of the ventricle) at the aorta. Blood pressure varies within the different types of blood vessels.
