  1. Less than that in venae cavae

  2. Same as that in aorta

  3. More than that in carotid

  4. More than that in pulmonary vein.

Correct Option: D

Choose the correct answer from the alternatives given.
Normal blood pressure of a- healthy person is:

biology human body and organ system blood pressure circulatory system transportation in animal and plants

  1. 120/100

  2. 110/90

  3. 120/80

  4. 120/90

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

  • Blood pressure is the pressure which is exerted by blood against the wall of the arteries. 
  • The average pressure produced in the ventricles when they contract and the blood is pumped into the aorta and the pulmonary artery is known as the systolic pressure, it is equal to the pressure exerted by a column of 120 mm of mercury. 
  • The average pressure produced in the ventricles when they relax and are filled with blood is known as the diastolic pressure, it is about 80 mm of mercury. Hence the value of blood pressure in an adult is about 120/80.
  • The blood pressure is measured by an instrument known as the sphygmomanometer.
So, the correct option is '120/80'.

Contraction drives blood through the pulmonary circuit and the systemic circuit; blood  pressure is highest in contracting 

biology human body and organ system blood pressure circulatory system transportation in animal and plants

  1. atrial; ventricles

  2. ventricular; arteries

  3. atrial; atria

  4. ventricular; ventricles

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The ejection of blood into the arteries causes the pressure within the arteries to rise, so the ventricular blood pressure is the highest in contracting arteries.

So, the correct option is 'ventricular; arteries'.
