Blood Pressure (BP) is measured by using two numbers. The normal blood pressure of the human is 120/80 mmHg. A sphygmomanometer is the measurement apparatus to analyze blood pressure (BP).
Arteries are the main blood vessels of the body. These blood vessels take oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the body's tissues. It is made up of collagen fibers, smooth muscle, and elastic tissue (or connective tissue proper).
