BLOODFLOW THROUGH THE HEART
Copy your class created flowchart into the one provided below. Use abbreviations (ex: Left Atrium = LA). When finished, use a red and blue colored pencil to indicate by outlining the box if blood flowing through here is oxygenated (red) or unoxygenated (blue).

The top number is called systolic pressure. This is measured when the heart is contracting.
120
The bottom number is called diastolic pressure. This is measured when the heart is relaxing. 80

14. High Blood Pressure
A person with a systolic reading of anything higher than 140 mmHg, is considered to have hypertension, or high blood pressure

15. Low Blood Pressure
A person with a systolic reading of anything lower than 100 mmHg, is considered to have hypotension, or low blood pressure.

16. What do you know about a person with this blood pressure?
_____________
160
This person has high blood pressure because the systolic (top) number is above 140 mmHg 80

17. Dangers of High Blood Pressure

Heart Attack
Stroke
Headaches
Weakened heart
Dizziness
Sweating
