Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct formula to calculate total blood pressure is systolic/diastolic. The systolic pressure represents the pressure in the arteries when the heart is contracting, while the diastolic pressure represents the pressure in the arteries when the heart is relaxed between beats. The ratio of these two pressures gives the total blood pressure. Therefore, option B is the correct choice. Option A is incorrect because it gives the reverse order of the correct formula. Option C is incorrect because there is no such term as "essential" to describe blood pressure. Option D is incorrect because it also gives the reverse order of the correct formula.
