	The ideal [[Blood\|blood]] pressure for a healthy adult is 120/80mm [[Mercury\|Hg]]. This can be measured using a [[Sphygmomanometer\|sphygmanometer]], which displays the [[~~Systolic_pressure~~\|systolic pressure]] over the [[~~Diastolic_pressure~~\|diastolic pressure]]. [[Blood\|Blood]] pressure is a quantitative measure in mm Hg (millimeters of mercury) for the amount of pressure that is exerted on to the walls of the [[~~Blood_vessels~~\|blood vessels]] when the[[~~Blood~~\|blood ]]is forced through.
