Detailed explanation-1: -Blood pressure is the force of the blood pushing against the artery walls. The force is made with each heartbeat as blood is pumped from the heart into the blood vessels. This is called systolic blood pressure.
Detailed explanation-2: -Arterial blood pressure consists of several distinct components-systolic and diastolic pressures, pulse pressure, and mean arterial pressure (Fig. 8.1). The systemic arterial blood pressure in the normal healthy young adult is 110–120 mmHg systolic and 70–80 mmHg diastolic.
Detailed explanation-3: -Systolic blood pressure is measured when the heart ventricles contract. Diastolic blood pressure is measured when the heart ventricles relax. A systolic pressure of 115 millimeters of mercury is considered normal, as is a diastolic pressure of 70. Commonly, this pressure would be stated as 115 over 70.
