12.              The highest blood pressure reading is called the ________________

13.              During ventricular relaxation, you will measure the ______________ pressure.

14.              A ____________________ consists of an inflatable armband, rubber bulb, and a pressure gauge.

15.              The arm-band is initially inflated to a pressure that stops _____________________.

16.              When you can first hear a pulse in the stethoscope, the gauge will measure the ______________ pressure.

17.              In what units is blood pressure measured? ____________________

18.              The ___________________________ is characterized by a reduction in the pulse rate and the blood flow when someone places his/her face in water.

19.              ______________________ are tiny vessels that connect the arteries to the veins.
