The instrument used to measure blood pressure is called____________?

Correct answer: C. Sphygmomanometer

  • A. Venturimeter
  • B. Blood pressure
  • C. Sphygmomanometer
  • D. Sonometer

Explanation

A sphygmomanometer is the instrument used to measure arterial blood pressure, normally reporting systolic and diastolic pressures in torr or mmHg. A sonometer measures properties of vibrating strings, so it is the likely mistaken choice.

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.
