Question

practice ii
the two main components of blood pressure:___ and___.
systolic; diastolic
vascular; diastolic
systolic; pulmonary
cardiac; diastolic
systolic; arterial

Explanation:

Blood pressure has two main components. Systolic pressure is the force when the heart contracts, and diastolic pressure is when the heart relaxes. The other options have incorrect terms. "Vascular" relates to blood vessels but isn't a main component term here. "Pulmonary" is about the lungs. "Cardiac" is about the heart generally. "Arterial" is too broad.

Answer:

systolic; diastolic
