Which is the best summary of this passage?

Question 1

Question 1 of 5

Answer

A. The heart pumps roughly 70 mL of blood by rapidly contracting and extending the chamber doors of the heart. Disease and age affect the pressure of blood on arterial walls.

B. The brachial artery of the arm is usually used to take blood pressure, although the pressure is different in different parts of the body.

C. The measurement of the ratio of systolic pressure over the diastolic pressure is known as blood pressure.

D. The force that blood exerts on arterial walls is known as blood pressure and is measured as a ratio of the systolic pressure or "high peak" over the diastolic pressure or "low peak"

C. The measurement of the ratio of systolic pressure over the diastolic pressure is known as blood pressure.

D. The force that blood exerts on arterial walls is known as blood pressure and is measured as a ratio of the systolic pressure or 'high peak' over the diastolic pressure or 'low peak.'

Question 3

Question 3 of 5

Answer

A. Something that is able to resist and be flexible

B. Something that is plastic-like

C. Something that is dynamic and electrifying

D. Something that is silly

Question 4
