Question

What is the difference between systolic pressure and diastolic pressure?

Answer 1

Dear Student,
The force that blood exerts against the wall of a vessel is called blood pressure. The pressure measured in arteries during ventricular contraction is called systolic pressure and minimum pressure measured in artery during ventricular relaxation is called diastolic pressure. The normal BP is 120mmHg/80mmHg where 120 is systolic BP and 80 is diastolic BP.
