Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The venous side of the circulation is a low-pressure system compared with the arterial side. Pressure within the named veins is usually between 8 and 10 mmHg, and CVP is 0–6 mmHg (3, 9). Therefore, the pressure gradient between the periphery and the right atrium is small.
Detailed explanation-2: -Explanation: In the general circulation, the highest blood pressure is found in the aorta and the lowest blood pressure is in the vena cava.
