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.
Mean arterial pressure is critical because it is a time-weighted average of blood pressure readings in the large arteries during a cardiac cycle. It shows the rate at which the heart pumps blood, the rate of blood flow out of the large arteries and the compliance, or elasticity, of the arterial walls.
