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.
