where is blood pressure higher?

Question

please answer only if u know! where would blood pressure b higher in da arteries or in da veins? y?

i think in da arteries cause i think da arteries r less stronger than da veins but im not sure.

Answer 1

it doesn't depend on arteries or viens. Blood pressure means the diastolic or systolic pressure is higher. Meaning blood is being pumped at an increased rate or your arteries or viens are narrowing like during an adrenaline rush.

Answer 2

Blood pressure is the force which the heart is pumping blood through the body at. It is measured by temporarily cutting off the circulation in an artery of the arm, most usually, with a blood pressure cuff, and is measured in millimeters of mercury, usually recorded looking like a fraction. The top number is the pressure against the arterial walls at the moment the heart contracts, the lower number represents the constant pressure maintained in between beats. The pressure in the veins would be at least the smaller number- but you don't measure BP in veins. The pressure on the artery walls would be highest, since they are recieving blood from the heart, and the veins are returning it.
Technically, the site where you would expect blood pressure to be highest would be in the left arm, though the pressure in the pulmonary artery would probably be slightly higher.

Answer 3

Blood Pressure (BP) would be higher in most arteries, I repeat, MOST arteries than in veins not because the arteries are less stronger as you think but because blood is pumped from the heart into the arteries.

It is lesser in the veins because there is no motor as such that 'pumps' the blood back into the heart.

Answer 4

Arteries pump blood from the heart to the body. Veins just send the blood back. If you see bright spurting blood from a trauma patient it's arterial vs. darker and oozing which is from the vein
