Blood Pressure and Pulse Rate
... Each time the ventricles contract, about 70 mL of blood is forced into the arteries. Every time this happens, the pressure is raised throughout the arterial system. This arterial pressure, however, falls as the blood is pushed through the capillaries. Then a new ventricular contraction repressurizes ...
