the systolic pressue is the pressue of the blood in the arteries when the heart is actually pushing blood through, and the diastolic is the pressue when the heart is at rest.
The systolic pressure is the blood pressure in the arteries during contraction of the ventricles.Diastolic pressure is the blood pressure that remains between heart contractions. :)
No. Systolic is the pressure exerted on the walls of the arteries when the heart is contracting. Diastolic is the pressure exerted on the walls of the arteries when the heart is at rest. Hence, since...

Blood pressure readings are always expressed as two values, one high and one low, representing the squeeze (systolic) and relax (diastolic) phases of the heart's pumping. The units of blood pressure...
