Blood Pressure Lab

1. Test 1 of my blood pressure was 105/60- the systolic pressure being 105 and the diastolic pressure being 60. Test 2 of my blood pressure was 100/60- the systolic pressure being 100 and the diastolic pressure being 60.
2. To measure the heart rate, a stethoscope is used.
    To measure the blood, a sphygmomanometer  is used.
3. You should not use your thumb to measure your pulse because you might be accidently measuring your thumb's pulse.
4. A sphygmomanometer  is an instrument that measures blood pressure, consisting of an inflatable cuff applied to the arm to measure the systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
This is a diagram showing how to measure the blood pressure.
