Okfuskee County OK Jail is a County Jail used by the jurisdictions of Okfuskee to confine inmates for short periods while awaiting trial or processing. As inmates are staying for usually less than one year, therefore it has fewer amenities than a jail or prison.
Because arteries are the first vessels that the heart pumps blood through, they experience the highest blood pressure, so they have thick elastic walls to withstand the high pressures. These large arteries expand when the pressure of the blood rises and then recoil when the heart relaxes between beats to provide a smooth flow of blood through your body.
Each time your nurse or physician takes your blood pressure, they are recording two measurements: your systolic pressure and your diastolic pressure. A normal resting blood pressure reading is 120/80. Your systolic pressure (the first and highest number), is the pressure or force the heart places on the walls of your blood vessels as it is working/pumping with each heartbeat.
