Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The pressure exerted by the circulating blood on the blood vessels is known as blood pressure. Blood pressure is expressed in systolic pressure and diastolic pressure. Blood pressure is calculated in millimeters of mercury. The normal blood pressure of a healthy individual is 120/80 millimeters of mercury.
