Blood pressure is the term used for pressure,
or tension, of the blood against the inner
walls of blood vessels, especially the
arteries, due to the muscular pumping
activity of the heart. Abnormally high blood
pressure may be associated with various
conditions or arise with no obvious cause.
Abnormally low blood pressure occurs in
shock and after excessive fluid or blood loss
from any cause.
