A
Systolic ____ when the ventricles contract
B
Diastolic ____ when the ventricles are relaxed

D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -120/80 is considered “normal” or healthy blood pressure. The top number (120) is your systolic number. This is the amount of pressure in your arteries during the contraction of your heart. The bottom number (80) is your diastolic number. This is your blood pressure between heart beats.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The blood pressure of a person is 120/80 which means that the systolic pressure is 120 mm Hg and diastolic pressure is 80 mm Hg. It indicated that the person has a normal blood pressure.
