What is Blood Pressure?

The term "blood pressure" refers to the force or pressure that is exerted on the body's arteries as blood flows through them. Each time the heart beats or contracts, it produces pressure in the arter- ies. This blood pressure is what moves blood through the body, supplying oxygen and nutrients to every organ.
