Keep You Pressure ( Blood pressure is the force of blood us against the walls of the arteries of the body. ar This force keeps the blood moving through the arteries?the blood vessels that carry pr uiooa rrom me neart to an parts of the body. cc The walls of the arteries are elastic and da muscular. They stretch and contract to take the ups and downs of blood pressure. Each ot time your heart contracts or beats (some 70 ci| to 90 times a minute), blood pressure in the at arteries increases. Each time the heart relaxes between beats, blood pressure goes down. Therefore, there is an "upper" and a "lower" blood pressure. The "upper" blood pressure is called the systolic blood pressure. The "lower" pressure is called the di- (q astolic blood pressure. . When you are examined, both pressures are measured, and they are recorded in num- jf bers. For example: 120/80. The 1-20 is the j systolic blood pressure and the 80 is the diastolic blood pressure. Systolic (the first number) is the pressure dc of the blood on the arteries when the heart is at rest between beats. The more difficult it is ar for the blood to flow through your body, the higher the number. One point to remember is that blood to pressure in your arteries does change from 01 day to day. Even from moment to moment. Blood pressure goes up when you get excited yc and it goes down when you are at rest. High blood pressure can: bl Hi 1. Add to the work load of the heart. Al 2.
