The heart, which consists of a total of 4 chambers, works non-stop to pump 5 liters of blood per minute to the body. The 2 chambers in the upper part of the heart are called the atria, and the 2 chambers in the lower part are called the ventricles. The blood in the blood vessels enters the heart from the right atrium and is transferred to the right ventricle. With the contraction of the heart, the blood is sent to the lungs for oxygenation and returns to the heart after cleaning. It is then pumped from the left ventricle of the heart through the aorta to be sent to the whole body. In other words, during a single contraction, blood is pumped both from the right ventricle to the lungs and from the left ventricle to the aorta. With the contraction of the heart, clean blood is sent to the body at a certain blood pressure. The pressure that builds up inside the arteries is defined as blood pressure. The blood pressure causes some dilation of the vessels. During the gap between the two contractions of the heart, the veins maintain blood flow by applying pressure to the blood. The pressure created during the pumping of blood by the heart and the blood pressure that continues to maintain the blood flow in the vessels are evaluated separately.
