Generally, blood comes out of the heart at a higher pressure and later reduces as it is circulated through the arteries. High blood pressure is one of the leading silent killer diseases in the world today. This is because it is not easy to…

systolic blood pressure was lower and diastolic was higher than the class average in the supine position. The subjects pulse pressure PP was 40, lower than the class of 46 and female average of 45 while, MAP was 93, higher than the class average of 89 but lower than the female average of 95. When subjects were standing blood pressure increased from when they were lying down and sitting. This is because when lying down gravity is eliminated and allows for better venous return, while standing…

Blood pressure is the pressure applied by blood on the walls of blood vessels, it is controlled by a negative feedback system where heart rate and blood volume need to be altered in order to control the pressure. Local negative feedback systems and heart rate is regulated but the cardiovascular centre which also in turn controls neural and hormonal mechanisms. Neurons regulate heart rate and contractility and some neurons inhibit, stimulate or control heart rate by causing constriction which…
