Question

The first of the two numbers measured when taking the blood pressure represents ________. The first of the two numbers measured when taking the blood pressure represents ________. diastolic pressure systolic pressure isovolumetric pressure pulse pressure

Answer 1

Systolic pressure

Step-by-step explanation:

In medicine, the systolic pressure refers to the pressure of the blood when the heart pumps blood out of it (as opposed to the diastolic pressure which refers to the pressure of the blood when the heart is filling itself with blood).

When we measure our pressure, the highest of the two numbers taken (or the first one) is the one that represents the the systolic pressure.

Therefore, The first of the two numbers measured when taking the blood pressure represents the systolic pressure.

Answer 2

Systolic pressure

Step-by-step explanation:

The first of the two numbers measured when taking the blood pressure represents the systolic pressure and the second number measured is called the diastolic pressure.

These measurements are taken as millimeters of mercury.

In systolic condition, the heart muscles are in contracted state and due to this the pressure forces the blood out of the heart and it goes into the large blood vessels of the circulatory system
