Question

the ___ blood pressure is the lowest pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest between beats. diastolic peripheral arterial systolic renal cardiac pulmonary hypertension ventricular

Explanation:

Blood pressure has two main components. Systolic pressure is when the heart contracts, and diastolic pressure is when the heart is at rest between beats. The question specifically mentions the "lowest pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest between beats", which directly aligns with the definition of diastolic blood pressure. Other options like peripheral (related to peripheral areas, not heart - rest state in arteries), arterial (a general term for artery - related, not specific to heart's rest state), systolic (when heart contracts, not at rest), renal (related to kidneys), cardiac (general heart - related but not specific to this pressure definition), pulmonary (related to lungs), hypertension (a condition of high blood pressure), and ventricular (related to heart ventricles but not the pressure definition here) do not match the given description.

Answer:

diastolic
