Concept explainers
Blood pressure is usually measure by wrapping a closed air-filled jacket equipped with a pressure gage around the upper arm of a person at the level of the heart. Using a mercury manometer and a stethoscope, the systolic pressure (the maximum pressure when the heart is pumping) and the diastolic pressure (the minimum pressure when the heart is resting) are measured in mmHg. The systolic and diastolic pressures of a health person are about 120 mmHg and 80 mmHg, respectively, and are indicated as 120/80. Express both of these gage pressures in kpa, psi, and meter water column.
The systolic and diastolic pressure of a healthy person is expressed in a kPa water column for high.
The systolic and diastolic pressure of a healthy person is expressed in a kPa water column for low.
The systolic and diastolic pressure of a healthy person is expressed in a psi water column for high.
The systolic and diastolic pressure of a healthy person is expressed in a psi water column for low.
The systolic and diastolic pressure of a healthy person is expressed in a meter water column for high.
The systolic and diastolic pressure of a healthy person is expressed in a meter water column for low.
