Systolic pressure is called_______________?

Correct answer: B. High blood pressure

  • A. Low blood pressure
  • B. High blood pressure
  • C. Normal blood pressure
  • D. Abnormal blood pressure

Explanation

Systolic pressure is the maximum arterial pressure reached when the ventricles contract, so it is the higher of the two blood-pressure values. Diastolic pressure is the lower value during relaxation, which is why choosing low blood pressure confuses the two phases.

About Fluid Flow

Fluid flow covers pressure, density, viscosity and the motion of liquids and gases through pipes or open channels. It includes the continuity equation, Bernoulli equation, streamline and turbulent flow, and the effects of changing area, height and speed. Viscosity and ideal fluid assumptions must not be confused with pressure effects.
