The force exerted by blood
upon the walls of the blood
vessels or the chambers of
the heart. Blood pressure may
be measured in capillaries
and veins, as well as the
vessels of the pulmonary
circulation; however, the term
blood pressure without any
specific descriptors typically
refers to systemic arterial
blood pressure—that is, the
pressure of blood flowing in
the arteries of the systemic
circulation. It is measured in
mmHg.
