What is considered as the normal systolic / diastolic blood pressure of a human being?

What is considered as the normal systolic / diastolic blood pressure of a human being? Correct Answer 120 / 80 mm of Hg

The correct answer is 120/80 mm of Hg.

Key Points

  • The top number refers to the amount of pressure in your arteries during the contraction of your heart muscle. This is called systolic pressure.
    • The bottom number refers to your blood pressure when your heart muscle is between beats. This is called diastolic pressure. Both numbers are important in determining the state of your heart health.

Blood pressure is measured by mercury manometer and a stethoscope by wrapping a closed air-filled jacket around the upper arm of a person at the level of the heart. The systolic pressure (the maximum pressure when the heart is pumping) and the diastolic pressure (the minimum pressure when the heart is resting) of a healthy person are indicated as 120/80 respectively. These values are expressed in:
Consider the following statements about the Open and Closed Blood Circulatory System:   A) Open blood circulatory system does not contain special blood vessels to carry oxygenated and deoxygenated blood, while in the closed blood circulatory system blood vessels are present. B) Oxygenated and Deoxygenated blood gets mixed in the closed blood circulatory system, while oxygenated and deoxygenated blood does not get mixed in the open blood circulatory system. Choose the correct statement.

"Too often we try to solve human problem with non-human tools and in terms of non-human data. It is my simple thesis that a human problem requires a human solution. First we have to learn to recognise a human problem when we see one; and second, upon recognising it, we have to learn to deal with it as such and not as it were something else. A human problem to be brought to a human solution requires human data and human tools". Who said this?
In the following question, the 1st and the last part of the sentence/ passage are numbered 1 and 6. The rest of the sentence/passage is split into four parts and named P, Q, R and S. These four parts are not given in their proper order. Read the sentence/passage and find out which of the four combinations is correct.  1. Blood pumps through the circulatory system of the human body. P. Over time, the increased pressure on the arteries can cause a wide range of problems. Q. Hypertension occurs when the force exerted against artery walls is abnormally high. R. Just as too much water pressure can damage pipes and faucets, high blood pressure can spell trouble. S. When blood is under pressure, it is like the water in the pipes of a house. 6. Small bulges, called aneurysms, may form in blood vessels
