What term describes the force of blood against the walls of the blood vessels?
Correct Answer:
Blood pressure
Explanation:
Blood pressure describes the force of blood against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps. This pressure changes with each heartbeat, with systolic pressure being the force during contraction and diastolic pressure during relaxation. It’s commonly written as a ratio like 120/80 mmHg. A blood pressure monitor is the device used to measure this force, not the force itself. The other options don’t refer to the force exerted by blood on vessel walls.
