Question

The difference between systolic and diastolic pressure in humans are called______________

Answer 1

Pulse pressure:

1. Systolic blood pressure measures the pressure that your heart's contractions exert on the artery walls when the heart beats.
2. Its normal value usually ranges from 90-120 mm Hg.
3. Blood pressure in the arteries when the heart is filling up is known as diastolic pressure.
4. It usually ranges from 60-80 mm Hg.
5. The difference between the systolic and diastolic pressure values is the pulse pressure.
6. It stands for the force that the heart produces when it contracts.
7. It is expressed in mercury millimeters (mmHg)
8. Humans have a systolic pressure of 120 mm Hg and a diastolic pressure of 80 mm Hg.
9. Therefore, there is a 40 mm Hg difference between them.

final answer: The difference between systolic and diastolic pressure in humans is called pulse pressure.
