Blood pressure is the force at which blood pushes against the walls of arteries coming from the heart to other areas of the body. A blood pressure may be taken anywhere an artery can be collapsed against a bone. The artery is collapsed against a bone as the cuff or sphygmomanometer is inflated. As the air is released slowly from the cuff, a stethoscope is placed on the artery to listen for beats. The first sound heard is the opening or systolic blood pressure and represents the pressure during the contraction phase of the heart.
