Question

Which of the following figure illustrates the systolic and diastolic pressure?

• A. 120 mm Hg
• B. 80 mm Hg
• C. 120 mm Hg and 80 mm Hg respectively
• D. 80 mm Hg and 120 mm Hg respectively

Answer 1

The correct option is C 120 mm Hg and 80 mm Hg respectively

The diastole phase is the phase of relaxation where the chambers of the heart relax and blood fills into the respective chambers. The systolic phase is the phase of contraction. The normal systolic pressure is about 120 mm Hg & diastole pressure is 80 mm Hg.

So, the correct answer is option C.
