Why is systolic pressure higher than diastolic pressure?

Option: 1

Systolic pressure is elevated due to a greater volume of blood present in the heart during systole.


Option: 2

Systolic pressure is increased because of arterial contraction during this phase.


Option: 3

Systolic pressure rises as blood vessels offer resistance to the flow of blood specifically during systole.

 


Option: 4

Systolic pressure is elevated as blood is forcefully pushed into the arteries during systole.

Systolic pressure is higher because the heart forcefully pumps blood into the arteries during contraction. Diastolic pressure is lower as the heart relaxes and refills with blood. The difference between systolic and diastolic pressure reflects the pulsatile nature of blood flow during the cardiac cycle.Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
