Question

What are the normal values of blood pressure in a normal human adult?

Answer 1

Solution

• The normal value of blood pressure in a normal human adult is 120/80 mm Hg.
• The value 120 mm Hg indicates systolic pressure, i.e. when the chambers of the heart contract.
• The value 80 mm Hg indicates the diastolic pressure, i.e. the pressure when the chambers of the heart relax.
