Explanation:

1. Blood pressure is the pressure of blood against the walls of blood vessels.

2. The heart pumping and arteries resisting the blood flow are the two physical forces that cause blood pressure.

3. Temperature, diet, emotional state, posture, and medications can affect blood pressure.

4. The unit of measurement used to measure blood pressure is millimeters of mercury/mmHg.

5. The instrument used to measure blood pressure is a sphygmomanometer.

6. Normal blood pressure for adults should be less than 120/80 mmHg. The normal range for systolic pressure should be less than 120, and the normal range for diastolic pressure should be less than 80.

7. Diastolic pressure is pressure when the heart rests between beats, while systolic pressure is the pressure at the peak of each heartbeat.

8. Prehypertension means that the blood pressure is higher than it should be, and is from 120/80mmHg to 139/89mmHg.

9. Hypertension is when one's blood pressure is 140/90mmHg or higher.

10. Kidney problems, hormonal disorders, and abnormalities of the aorta may increase blood pressure.

11. Because the pressure is higher, the heart has to pump harder to get blood through the circulatory system, and arteries must carry blood that moves under greater pressure.

12. High blood pressure is called the "silent killer" because people can live with it for years and have no symptoms.

to prevent people from getting the ebola virus, countries around the world paid to doctors develop a new vaccine. now that the vaccine has been made, doctors will need to experiment on a large number of people to find out if it works safely.

what is the greatest limitation that scientists are dealing with as they try to figure out how to experiment with the ebola vaccine?

meditation is a practice of sitting still and quiet for minutes or even hours. it has been practiced for thousands of years and is even a part of religious practices for some people. carefully controlled, repeated measurements of brain activity have shown that meditation does increase certain chemicals in the brain and even grows the part of the brain that people connect with their current surroundings and activities.

are claims about the effects of meditation most likely scientific or pseudoscientific?

not pseudoscientific, because people have made claims about it but scientific observations have not been made

so what is your question?
