Blood pressure. Your blood pressure is expressed as systolic/diastolic, for instance, 120/80. The systolic number represents the pressure in the arteries as the heart pumps blood into them. The diastolic number represents the pressure in the arteries as the heart relaxes after it pumps blood. The systolic pressure is higher because the heart is pumping rather than relaxing.
