Systemic blood pressure is defined as the ratio of two pressures—systolic and diastolic—both expressed in millimeters of mercury. Normal blood pressure is about 120mm/80mm which is usually just stated as 120/80. What would normal systemic blood pressure be if, instead of millimeters of mercury, we expressed pressure in each of the following units, but continued to use the same ratio format?
Part A)
atmosheres =
a)120/ 80
b) 2.32/ 1.54
c) 0.158/ 0.105
d) 1.60x10^4/ 1.06x10^4
Part B)
torr =
a) 120/ 80
b) 2.32/ 1.54
c) 0.158/ 0.105
d) 1.60x10^4/ 1.06x10^4
Part C)
Pa =
a)120/ 80
b) 2.32/ 1.54
c) 0.158/ 0.105
d) 1.60x10^4/ 1.06x10^4
Part D)
N/ m^2 =
a)120/ 80
b) 2.32/ 1.54
c) 0.158/ 0.105
d) 1.60x10^4/ 1.06x10^4
Part E)
psi =
a)120/ 80
b) 2.32/ 1.54
c) 0.158/ 0.105
d) 1.60x10^4/ 1.06x10^4
