Questions and Answers

Which of the following best describes blood pressure?

  • The speed at which blood flows through the veins
  • The force exerted by blood against the walls of the arteries (correct)
  • The amount of blood pumped by the heart per minute
  • The resistance to blood flow in the vessels

    • What is the difference between hypotension and hypertension?

  • Hypotension is high blood pressure, while hypertension is low blood pressure
  • Hypotension is a normal blood pressure range, while hypertension is an abnormal blood pressure range
  • Hypotension is low blood pressure, while hypertension is high blood pressure (correct)
  • Hypotension is a sudden drop in blood pressure, while hypertension is a gradual increase in blood pressure

    • How is blood pressure regulated in the body?

  • By the kidneys excreting excess fluid
  • By the brain sending signals to the heart and blood vessels (correct)
  • By the lungs oxygenating the blood
  • By the liver producing hormones that control blood pressure
