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

burned, pinched, and sprained, twisted and c

Two out of every five reported injuries on
e job involve the hands.
Most hand injuries are caused because we
metimes forget that hands can't think for
emselves, and we. their owners, fail to
ink for them often enough.
Take a moment to look at your hands, now

lem each day. Consider the pain and incon
mience ot a bandaged hand...or a perma*nt
hand injury.
