When the heart is in complete relaxation. The pressure in the heart is low, and blood is flowing passively into and through the atria into the ventricles from the pulmonary and systemic circulations. The semilunar valves are closed, and the AV valves are open. Then the atria contract and force the blood remaining in their chambers into the ventricles.

∙ 12y agoThe highest blood pressure in the circulatory system is when the oxygenated blood has just been pumped out of the left side of the heart. This is because the left side of your heart has to pump the blood all the way from your heart, to your brain, feet, fingers, etc. It has a long distance to travel, and it needs pressure to provide a fast journey. Artery walls are thicker than those of the veins because they carry the higher pressure blood.

What type of blood vessel do you take blood pressure in?
Blood pressure is taken through an artery. Normal BP is highest in the artery side of the circulatory system and lower in the venous side.
What two creatures in the animal kingdom have the highest blood pressure?
The giraffe has the highest blood pressure in the animal kingdom. The next highest blood pressure belongs to the elephant.
In which type of blood vessel is blood at its highest blood pressure?
Aorta has highest pressure. Pressure gradually decreases as blood moves towards heart.
What technologies used to study the circulatory?
blood pressure monitoring
What does having a high blood pressure have to do with the circulatory system?
yes it is
When blood leaves the heart and travels through the circulation does the pressure change?
Yes; the blood pressure tends to be highest closest to the heart (actually, the highest pressure in the circulatory system is in the left ventricle) and slowly drops as it reaches the capillaries. However, there is still some blood pressure at the capillaries, which is why the serum can be forced across the capillary wall into the extracellular fluid to exchange nutrients. There is also some blood pressure in the venous system, although it is much lower than the arterial side.
Where in systemic circulation is Blood Pressure highest?
What position is blood pressure normally the highest and lowest?If a person was sitting, reclining, or standing, which position would cause the blood pressure to be highest and lowest?Also, if there was an increase in blood viscosity, cardiac ouput, and diameter of the arterioles would this constitute to an increase in blood pressure as well?blood pressure (BP) is usuall lowest standing position and highest in supine (reclining) position. This is because the blood return to the heart is decreased when standing.http://www.bloodpressureinc.com/what-position-is-blood-pressure-normally-the-highest-and-lowest/Exercise is at its highest when we exercise and lowest when we sleep.
What helps regulate blood pressure metabolism and reproduction?
The endocrine system are glands that releases hormones into the circulatory system. The circulatory system then carries them into the organs. It regulates blood pressure, metabolism, and reproduction.
What body system does high blood pressure affect?
High Blood Pressure( keyword blood lol) It effects circulatory system(Blood). :D
Where is blood pressure the slowest?
I am sure you mean the lowest. It is the lowest in the venous side of the circulatory system and it is highest in the arteries right off the heart. The very lowest blood pressure would be in the veins and the blood flow will need help to move blood back to the heart by muscle contractions and breathing. There is where the blood flow is the slowest.
What organ system does high blood pressure affect?
Circulatory system :)
Where in your circulatory system do you think your blood pressure is highest lowest?
In general blood pressure is lowest in the pulmonary system, meaning from the pulmonary trunk through the lungs and back to the heart. The systemic system has a higher blood pressure since it must flow to all parts of the body. That being said all veins also have a lower blood pressure as well, when compared to the arteries and arterioles.
