Definition of undefined

The term "blood pressure" arose from its literal meaning: the pressure of blood against the walls of blood vessels. The word "blood" comes from Old English, meaning "life fluid." "Pressure" derives from the Latin "pressura," meaning "to press." The concept of blood pressure was understood as early as the 17th century. However, the term "blood pressure" itself came into common usage in the 19th century, thanks to advancements in medical instruments and understanding of circulatory function.
