What do the two numbers in a blood pressure reading represent? The larger number is the systolic pressure of blood moving in the
arteries, whereas the smaller number is the diastolic pressure of blood returning in the veins. The systolic pressure during a heartbeat is the larger number, whereas the diastolic pressure while the heart rests between beats is the smaller number. The stronger diastolic pressure of blood returning in the veins is the larger number, whereas the weaker systolic pressure of blood in arteries is the smaller number. The larger number is the diastolic pressure during a heartbeat, whereas the smaller number is the systolic pressure as the heart rests between beats.
Answer: The larger number is the systolic pressure of blood moving in the arteries, whereas the smaller number is the diastolic pressure of blood returning in the veins.
Explanation:
The systolic and diastolic are the blood pressures that checks whether your blood pressure is normal, low or high. The systolic pressure measure the arterial pressure when the heart muscles contracts and transfers the blood from the heart to the arteries. The diastolic pressure can be define as the pressure inside the arteries on the relaxation of heart muscles.
The systolic pressure is the larger or highest number in the blood pressure it refers to the condition when the heart muscles contacts and pump out the blood. The diastolic pressure is called as the lowest number or bottom number it gives the indication of stroke or heart attack.
