Introduction

Blood is the transport fluid that involves the transport of nutrients, oxygen, carbon dioxide to all parts of the body. Blood pressure is essential for the flow of blood to reach all the parts of the body and for the constant flow of blood. The heart plays a key role in the pumping of blood at a higher pressure to reach the different parts of the body.
