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>

The theory of plate tectonics:
sertanlavr [38]

A) .was immediately accepted

Explanation:

The theory of plate tectonics was immediately recognized as the explanation for the moving continents. It provided a more scientific background as why continents drift apart and the seafloor keeps spreading.

  • The theory explains that the earth is broken up into series of slabs called lithosphere which moves on the weak, ductile and fluid asthenosphere.
  • The movement of part of the earth mantle provided the mechanism through which the lithosphere moves. This is now known as the mantle convection.
  • This theory provided a scientific mechanism through which the plate moves and seafloor spreads.
  • It was immediately accepted when the theory was propounded by Alfred Holmes in the 1930s

The diagram below represents a flower, the reproductive structure of some plants. Most
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

The stigma, a female structure which collects pollen and passes it to the ovary

Explanation:

<u>The structure represented by the letter A in the diagram is the stigma.</u>

The <u>stigma of a flower represents part of the female reproductive structure</u>. The surface of a mature stigma is sticky and as such, it is able to attract pollen grains from the anther. A pollen that lands on the stigma germinates and its pollen tube grows through the style of the stigma down to the ovule where one of the sperm cells of the pollen fertilizes the egg cell of the ovule to form a diploid zygote and the other sperm cell fuses with the polar nuclei of the ovary to form a triploid cell that eventually becomes the endosperm.

<em>The sepal and the petal are labeled as D and C in the diagram respectively while the stamen is made up of B and H.</em>
