Action of a force against an opposing force.

Question 2

Potential Pressure

Answer 2

Pressure indicated by the injector gauge needle when the injector motor is running and the arterial tubing is clamped off.

Question 3

Actual Pressure

Answer 3

That pressure indicated by the injector gauge needle when the arterial tube is open and the arterial solution is flowing into the body.
