Point 1: 70/40 mm Hg
Point 2: 90/60 mm Hg
Point 3: 15/105 mm Hg

Which point likely represents the blood pressure at the aorta? Explain.

Why would the pulmonary artery pressure be less than the pressure in the aorta?

1. The highest, since the aorta leads directly from the heart
2. The right side of the heart is weaker, since it's only pumping blood to the lungs.
3. The heart is the pump and so makes the pressure.
