• veins, artries, and aorta

Carry blood away from heart; mostly oxygen-rich

• Arteries
• Veins
• Capillaries

Carry blood toward heart; mostly oxygen-poor

• Arteries
• Veins
• Capillaries

Pressure exerted on the walls of the blood vessels is termed

• Hypertension

• Vesicular pressure

• Blood Pressure

• Heart pressure

Blood pressure is recorded as

• Hydrostatic /diastolic

• Diastolic/ hydrostatic

• Systolic/diastolic

• Diastolic/systolic

For a blood pressure reading, the number on top measures...

• Diastolic Pressure
• Systolic Pressure
• Diastemic Pressure
• Systemic Pressure

Normal blood pressure is...

• 120/80 mmHg
• 80/120 mmHg
• 140/90 mmHg
• 80/140 mmHg

Hypertension is anything above...

• 120/80 mmHg
• 90/120 mmHg
• 140/90 mmHg
• 80/140 mmHg

High blood pressure

• diastolic pressure

• systolic pressure

• hypotension

• hypertension
