Question

Systolic pressure in a normal human is

• A. $70$ mm of Hg
• B. $80$ mm of Hg
• C. $90$ mm of Hg
• D. $120$ mm of Hg

Answer 1

The correct option is D $120$ mm of Hg

Blood pressure is measured in 2 categories, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure. The systolic pressure is the amount of pressure in the arteries during the contraction of the heart muscle. The diastolic pressure is the pressure during the resting period between heartbeats. The normal value of systolic pressure in human is 120 mm of Hg. The normal value of diastolic pressure in human is 80 mm of Hg.

Thus, the correct answer is '120 mm of Hg.'
