Blood pressure
Blood pressure ( BP ), sometimes referred to as arterial blood pressure , is the pressure exerted by circulating blood upon the walls of blood vessels , and is one of the principal vital signs . When used without further specification, "blood pressure" usually refers to the arterial pressure of the systemic circulation . During each heartbeat, blood pressure varies between a maximum ( systolic ) and a minimum ( diastolic ) pressure. [ 1 ] The blood pressure in the circulation is principally due to the pumping action of the heart. [ 2 ] Differences in mean blood pressure are responsible for blood flow from one location to another in the circulation.Body

It is one of three major muscle types, the others being cardiac and smooth muscle . As their name suggests, most skeletal muscles are attached to bones by bundles of collagen fibers known as tendons . Skeletal muscle is made up of individual components known as myocytes , or "muscle cells", sometimes colloquially called "muscle fibers". They are formed from the fusion of developmental myoblasts (a type of embryonic progenitor cell that gives rise to a muscle cell). These long, cylindrical , multinucleated cells are also called myofibers .
