PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Blood pressure is highest within the large arteries (such as the aorta) because they are connected directly to the ventricle of the heart.

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).
