#pressure_level__pressure__force_per_unit_area the force applied to a unit area of surface; measured in pascals (SI unit) or in dynes (cgs unit); "the compressed gas exerts an increased pressure"
supertype: #physical_phenomenon a natural phenomenon involving the physics of matter and energy
subtype: #blood_pressure__bloodpressure the pressure of the circulating blood against the walls of the blood vessels; results from the systole of the left ventricle of the heart; sometimes measured for a quick evaluation of a person's health; "adult blood pressure is considered normal at 120/80 where the first number is the systolic pressure and the second is the diastolic pressure"
subtype: #systolic_pressure the blood pressure (as measured by a sphygmomanometer) during the contraction of the left ventricle of the heart
subtype: #diastolic_pressure__diastolicpressure the blood pressure (as measured by a sphygmomanometer) after the contraction of the heart while the chambers of the heart refill with blood
subtype: #arterial_pressure the pressure of the circulating blood on the arteries; "arterial pressure is the product of cardiac output and vascular resistance"
subtype: #venous_pressure the pressure exerted on the walls of the veins by the circulating blood
subtype: #gas_pressure__gaspressure the pressure exerted by a gas
subtype: #atmospheric_pressure__atmosphericpressure__air_pressure__airpressure the pressure exerted by the atmosphere
subtype: #compartment_pressure__compartmentpressure the air pressure maintained in the air-tight compartment of an aircraft
subtype: #barometric_pressure atmospheric pressure as indicated by a barometer
subtype: #head.pressure_level the pressure exerted by a fluid; "a head of steam"
subtype: #hydrostatic_head__hydrostatichead the pressure at a given point in a liquid measured in terms of the vertical height of a column of the liquid needed to produce the same pressure
subtype: #intraocular_pressure__intraocularpressure pressure inside the eyeball;regulated by resistance to the outward flow of aqueous humor; "glaucoma results from increased intraocular pressure"
subtype: #oil_pressure__oilpressure pressure that keeps oil on the moving parts of an internal-combustion engine
subtype: #osmotic_pressure__osmoticpressure (physical chemistry) the pressure exerted by a solution necessary to prevent osmosis into that solution when it is separated from the pure solvent by a semipermeable membrane
subtype: #corpuscular-radiation_pressure__corpuscularradiationpressure__radiation_pressure__radiationpressure the minute pressure exerted on a surface normal to the direction of propagation of a wave
subtype: #acoustic_radiation_pressure (acoustics) the pressure exerted on a surface normal to the direction of propagation of a sound wave
subtype: #instantaneous_sound_pressure__instantaneoussoundpressure__sound_pressure__soundpressure the difference between the instantaneous pressure at a point in a sound field and the average pressure at that point
subtype: #suction a force over an area produced by a pressure difference
subtype: #vapor_pressure__vaporpressure__vapour_pressure the pressure exerted by a vapor; often understood to mean saturated vapor pressure (the vapor pressure of a vapor in contact with its liquid form)
