The normal systolic B P of aorta is _
Correct answer: B. 120 mm Hg
- A. 60 mm Hg
- B. 120 mm Hg
- C. 80 mm Hg
- D. 102 mm Hg
Explanation
So, when we talk about the normal systolic blood pressure of the aorta, we're referring to the pressure in the main artery of the body when the heart contracts. A normal reading for this is around 120 mmHg, which stands for millimeters of mercury. This measurement helps us understand the force exerted on the artery walls during each heartbeat.

About Human Heart
The human heart is a four chambered muscular pump that maintains double circulation through the pulmonary and systemic circuits. Questions cover atria, ventricles, valves, major blood vessels, the cardiac cycle, pressure changes, the conduction system and ECG, while distinguishing arteries and veins from the chambers that receive or eject blood.
