Ajee Wade February 12‚ 2015 Specific Purpose: To inform my audience of the steps in measuring blood pressure. General Purpose: Blood pressure is a vital sign that can be measured by utilizing three important steps. I. Watch Your Blood Pressure A. About 1 of 3 U.S. adults—or 67 million people—have high blood pressure. Only about half (47%) of these people have their high blood pressure under control. This common condition increases the risk for heart disease and stroke‚ 2 of the leading causes of

High blood pressure doesn’t really have a cure but there are ways to keep it under control. Changing your lifestyle and getting regular blood pressure readings are important to keep it under control. Hypertension‚ also known as high blood pressure‚ is a very common aliment. It is a constant force of blood against artery walls

system is composed of blood vessels‚ blood‚ and the heart. This allows the system to play an important role in the moving of both nutrients and wastes in and out of the blood to maintain an overall homeostasis within the body. The previously completed experiments each had the objective of understanding how various factors may have an influence on blood flow rate. These factors include the effect of blood vessel radius‚ the effect of blood viscosity‚ as well as the effect of blood vessel length‚ and

session. Blood pressure may be one of the least complicated to monitor‚ yet possibly one with the highest probability to bring on complications if left untreated. Blood pressure readings are measured in millimeters of mercury. An instrument called a sphygomanometer is used to measure your systolic and diastolic pressure. Written in the form of a fraction‚ the top number is the systolic pressure‚ and the bottom is the diastolic pressure. The systolic pressure is measuring the amount of pressure that

Hypertension is the medical term for high blood pressure. A normal blood pressure is 120/80. A blood pressure reading higher or equal to 140/90 is considered abnormally high. Elevated blood pressure means your heart is working harder than normal‚ putting both your heart and arteries under great strain. High blood pressure is serious business. On average‚ people with uncontrolled hypertension are:<br><li>Seven times more likely to have a stroke. <br><li>Six times more likely to develop congestive

which blood vessel diameter can be modified? Detection of changes in blood pressure (leading to resultant changes in blood vessel diameter): Baroreceptors at the carotid sinus (the bifurcation of internal and external carotid arteries in the neck) and the aortic arch detect changes in blood pressure. These non-encapsulated nerve endings‚ located in the adventitial layer of arteries‚ are technically mechanoreceptors; they respond to arterial distension occurring due to a change in blood pressure
