The term is 'diastolic pressure' I think u know that our heart contracts & relaxes. The term 'diastole' refers to the state of the relaxation of the heart (specially ventricles). During diastole of the heart the ventricles draw blood. As a result the blood pressure falls. The minimum blood pressure during the diastolic state of the heart is called the diastolic pressure. It is about 60-90 mm Hg (average 80 mm Hg) in a healthy adult person.

What is the total pressure gauge pressure plus atmospheric pressure?
Total pressure is equal to the sum of gauge pressure and atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure is always present and contributes to the total pressure measurement.
What does absolute pressure include that gauge pressure does not?
abosulute pressure includes the atmospheric pressure while gage pressure gives the pressure above atmospheric pressure
When you take a persons blood pressure it is a reflection of lymphatic pressure arterial pressure osmotic pressure or venous pressure?
arterial pressure
Is absolute pressure static pressure?
Yes, absolute pressure is the pressure measured with respect to a vacuum, while static pressure is the pressure exerted by a fluid due to its motion or position. While they are related, they are not the same as static pressure does not take into account the atmospheric pressure.
What is intrathoracic pressure?
Intrathoracic pressure is the pressure inside of the pleural cavity. It is also called intrapleural pressure and the normal pressure is called negative pressure.
What are the types of pressure?
They're 5 Kinds of Peer Pressure These are it ~ Negative Peer Pressure , Positive Peer Pressure , Heavy Peer Pressure , Indirect Peer Pressure , and Friendly Peer Pressure
Is high pressure rising pressure?
No. High pressure is pressure that is higher than an established normal pressure. The pressure may be rising, falling, or remain the same
A pressure difference is also known as an?
A pressure difference is also known as a pressure gradient.
Does a high-pressure system have a low-pressure or high-pressure center?
A high pressure systems has a high pressure center.
How do you find gage pressure?
Gauge pressure is calculated by subtracting the atmospheric pressure from the absolute pressure. It is important to note that gauge pressure readings are relative to atmospheric pressure. So, to find gauge pressure, you would subtract the atmospheric pressure from the total pressure reading obtained.
What are different types of pressure sensors?
absolute pressure; gauge pressure; atmospheric pressure...
Which is true about intrapulmonary pressure and intrapleural pressure?
Intrapulmonary pressure is the pressure inside the lung alveoli, while intrapleural pressure is the pressure in the pleural cavity. During normal breathing, intrapleural pressure is lower than intrapulmonary pressure, creating a pressure gradient that helps keep the lungs inflated.
