Question

choose the correct answer. this term means the lower (second) pressure which occurs when the ventricles relax: pulse diastolic pressure blood pressure systolic pressure

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "Pulse" is the throbbing of arteries, not related to ventricular relaxation pressure.
• "Diastolic pressure" is defined as the lower blood pressure when the ventricles relax.
• "Blood pressure" is a general term for arterial pressure, not specific to ventricular relaxation.
• "Systolic pressure" is the higher pressure when ventricles contract.

So the correct term is diastolic pressure.

Answer:

B. diastolic pressure
