Question

Consider the following statements:
1. The force that blood exerts force against the wall of a vessel is called blood pressure.
2. The pressure of blood inside the artery during contraction is called systolic pressure and pressure in an artery during relaxation is called diastolic pressure.
3. Blood pressure is measured with an instrument called sphygmomanometer.
Which of the statements given above are correct?

• A. 1 and 2
• B. 1 and 3
• C. 2 and 3
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

Blood pressure is the force of the flowing bloodagainst the artery walls. Systolic pressure is the pressure generated during the contraction of the left ventricle. Diastolic pressure is the pressure during the relaxation of the left ventricle. A sphygmomanometer is a device used to measure blood pressure.

So, the correct answer is option D.
