<h2>False </h2>

Explanation:

Alimentary canal components include mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine and large intestine whereas liver is a component of the accessory digestive system

The liver is a large organ that is located in the upper right portion of abdomen, beneath the diaphragm
The liver has two large sections, called the right and the left lobes and the gallbladder sits under the liver, along with parts of the pancreas and intestines
The liver and these organs work together to digest, absorb, and process food
The liver's main role is to filter the blood coming from the digestive tract, before passing it to the rest of the body
The liver also detoxifies chemicals and metabolizes drugs
The liver secretes bile that ends up back in the intestines and also makes proteins important for blood clotting and other functions

when measuring the blood pressure, the cuff is deflated until two consecutive beats are heard through the stethoscope. This meas

Answer: Systolic pressure.

Explanation:

Every time the heart beats, it pumps blood into the arteries, which are vessels through which blood circulates from your heart to your tissues with the oxygen and nutrients they need. Blood pressure is the force of the blood pushing against the walls of the arteries, and is highest when the heart beats, pumping blood, which is measured as systolic pressure (i.e., when the heart contracts). On the other hand, diastolic blood pressure refers to the pressure of blood in the artery when the heart relaxes between beats (i.e., when the heart relaxes). Since there are two types of pressures, blood pressure readings are given in two numbers, with the top number being the systolic pressure and the bottom number being the diastolic pressure.

For example, if the systolic pressure measured in a person is 125 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) and the diastolic pressure is 85 mm Hg, the blood pressure is recorded as 125/85.

So, <u>the systolic blood pressure is registered with the stethoscope when the cuff is deflated.</u> When two heartbeats are heard, the pressure gauge reading is recorded. <u>When the heartbeat ceases, the cuff pressure is released and the diastolic pressure is measured at this time.</u>
