The difference between the maximum arterial pressure and the minimum arterial pressure is called the

A) diastolic pressure.
B) pulse pressure.
C) cardiac pressure.
D) systolic pressure.
E) mean arterial pressure.

Pulse Pressure

The difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings, reflecting the force that the heart generates each time it contracts.

Arterial Pressure

The pressure of the blood within the arteries, typically reflecting the force exerted by the heart when pumping blood through the arterial system.
