Blood pressure the force that blood exerts against the walls of the vessels through which it flows is commonly meant to be the pressure in the arteries. The pressure in the arteries varies with the contraction and relaxation of the heart. When the heart contracts the blood in the arteries is at its greatest or systolic pressure. When the heart relaxes the blood in the arteries is at its lowest or diastolic pressure. The difference between these pressures is called the pulse pressure.

The blood in the arteries is at the greatest pressure during contraction.
