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>

2. Suggest two ways that reflex reactions help maintain homoeostasis in the human body.
Nata [24]
<span>One reflex reaction to maintaining homeostasis in the body is shivering. In response to cold temperatures, the muscular system moves our muscles quickly to warm them up as a rapid, short term solution for homeostasis. Another example is the withdrawal reflex, which occurs as a response to pain. Pain receptors activated by the painful stimulus activate the motor neurons in the body, which in turn contract muscles to move parts of your body away from the pain.</span>

A respiratory rate of less than ________ and greater than ________ in cases of trauma are criteria for immediate transportation
vovikov84 [41]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

A. 8; 32

B. 10; 29

C. 12; 20

D. 5; 45

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-B

Explanation:

Trauma is the experience caused by the life-threatening events or events which help develop the psychological distress conditions.

The trauma can cause changes in the physiologic and psychological responses in humans. The CDC guidelines have stated criterion for immediate transportation of the person to the trauma centre in which one of the criteria is that if a person has the respiratory rate of less than 10 and greater than 29 will be transported to the trauma centre immediately.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.
