Ottoman couch, how handsome your furniture. Lovelier now but dressed for a funeral. Begging you to sit for a portrait on the wall. To hang in the dark of some parliamentary hall.
arterial pressure - the pressure of the circulating blood on the arteries; arterial pressure is the product of cardiac output and vascular resistance. venous pressure - the pressure exerted on the walls of the veins by the circulating blood. circulation - movement through a circuit; especially the movement of blood through the heart and blood vessels.
Arterial blood pressure. - Arteries are elastic and muscular. Arteries dampen the high pressure pulses coming from the heart. The pressure in the arteries fluctuates with each beat, but the average pressure does not drop much because the diameter of arteries is so large they offer little resistance to flow.
