Mencari pengertian di laluan Tahan

         Sudah lama aku tidak kemaskini blog, mungkin aku sibuk atau malas nak taip... bulan lepas selesai sudah satu lagi rencana kembara aku untuk melalui pengalaman menjejak puncak Tahan.. seperti pengalaman mendaki gunung sebelum ini.. laluan ke puncak Tahan menjanjikan pengalaman yang hampir sama dengan gunung-gunung lain dari segi mental tetapi berbeza dari permandangan yang dikurniakan oleh -Nya...

Walaupun perjalanan ini sampai dengan s...

Blood Pressure (BP)

Image
Blood pressure (BP) is the pressure exerted by circulating blood upon the walls of blood vessels, and is one of the principal vital signs. When used without further specification, "blood pressure" usually refers to the arterial pressure of the systemic circulation. During each heartbeat, BP varies between a maximum (systolic) and a minimum (diastolic) pressure. The mean BP, due to pumping by the heart and resistance to flow in blood vessels, decreases as the circulating blood moves away from the heart through arteries. Blood pressure drops most rapidly along the small arteries and arterioles, and continues to decrease as the blood moves through the capillaries and back to the heart through veins. Gravity, valves in veins, and pumping from contraction of skeletal muscles are some other influences on BP at various places in the body. The measurement blood pressure without further specification usually refers to the systemic arterial pressure measured at a person's upper a...
