The difference between systolic and diastolic pressure in human is

  1. $120$mm Hg
  2. $80$mm Hg
  3. $40$mm Hg
  4. $200$mm Hg
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Pulse pressure is the difference between the systolic and diastolic pressure readings. It is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). It represents the force that the heart generates each time it contracts. Systolic pressure in human is 120 mm Hg and Diastolic pressure in human is 80 mm Hg. Therefore difference between them is 40mm Hg. 

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.

The normal systolic pressure is 

  1. 120 mm of Hg

  2. 80 mm of Hg

  3. 150 mm of Hg

  4. 50 mm of Hg
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Systolic pressure is measured in the arteries when the heart contracts and is 120 mm of Hg in a normal condition.

Diastolic pressure is measured when the heart is relaxed and it is 80 mm of Hg.
Values above or below them are considered abnormal.
So, the correct answer is ' 120 mm of Hg'.

Sphygmomanometer measure

  1. Nerve conduction rate

  2. Heart beat rate

  3. Blood pressure

  4. Pulse rate
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

A sphygmomanometer is an instrument, attached to an inflatable air bladder cuff and used with a stethoscope, for measuring blood pressure in an artery. Systolic pressure is identified with the first of the continuous korotkoff sounds. Diastolic pressure is identified at the moment the korotkoff sounds disappear. 

So, the correct answer is option C.

Increase in blood pressure is known as

  1. Hypertension

  2. Hypotension

  3. Hyperglycemia

  4. Hypochromia
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Hypertension is defined as an increase in the blood pressure in the arteries. It is a severe condition which may lead to heart strokes. Normal blood pressure at rest is within the range of 100-140 mm Hg systolic (top reading) and 60-90 mm Hg diastolic (bottom reading). 

So, the correct answer is option A.

The instrument by which blood pressure of a man is determined

  1. Sphygmomanometer

  2. S.P. meter

  3. Ultrasound

  4. Stethoscope

A Correct answer
Explanation

A sphygmomanometer is an instrument attached to an inflatable air bladder cuff and used with a stethoscope, for measuring blood pressure in an artery. It is estimated with reference to mmHg.

So, the correct answer is option A.

The instrument used for measuring blood pressure is known as

  1. ECG.

  2. Stethoscope.

  3. Sphygmomanometer.

  4. EEG.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
The instrument used for measuring blood pressure is known as sphygmomanometer. The blood pressure in the measured in mm of Hg (millimetres of mercury) and recorded with systolic number first followed by diastolic. A normal blood pressure recorded would be 120/80 mm Hg.
So, the correct answer is 'Sphygmomanometer'.

In a normal adult, BP is

  1. 100/80 mm of Hg

  2. 120/80 mm of Hg

  3. 100/120 mm of Hg

  4. 80/120 mm of Hg

B Correct answer
Explanation

The instrument used for measuring blood pressure is known as sphygmomanometer. The blood pressure is measured in mm of Hg (millimetres of mercury) and recorded with systolic number first followed by diastolic. In a normal adult, BP is 120/80 mm Hg.

So, the correct answer is '120/80 mm of Hg.

The value of diastolic blood pressure is

  1. 120 mm Hg

  2. 80 mm Hg

  3. 120/80 mm Hg

  4. 40 mm Hg
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
There are two components of blood pressure, systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
  • Systolic pressure is the pressure in blood vessels or the force of blood against the wall of arteries when the ventricles pump out blood into them. It is about 120 mm Hg.
  • Diastolic pressure is the pressure or the force of blood against the wall of arteries when the heart is relaxing and getting refilled with blood. It is about 80 mm Hg.
So, the correct answer is '80 mm Hg'.
