Systemic blood pressure is expressed as the ratio of thesystolicpressure (when the heart first ejects blood into thearteries) tothe diastolic pressure (when the heart is relaxed):system bloodpressure=systolic pressure/diastolic pressure. Bothpressures aremeasured at the level of the heart and are expressedin millimetersof mercury (or torr), although the units are notwritten. Normalsystemic blood pressure is 120/80
What is the minimum force (in newtons) that the blood exertsagainsteach square centimeter of the heart for a person withnormal bloodpressure?
What is the maximum force (in newtons) that the blood exertsagainsteach square centimeter of the heart for a person withnormal bloodpressure?
As pointed out in the text, blood pressure is normally measuredonthe upper arm at the same height as the heart. Due to therapyforan injury, a patient's upper arm is extended 30.0 cm abovehisheart. In that position, what should be his systemic bloodpressurereading, if he has normal blood pressure? The density ofblood is1060 kg/m^
