Answer:
False
Explanation:
Mean arterial pressure is obtained by the following equation: (Systolic BP + Diastolic BP + Diastolic BP) / 3.
For example, the mean arterial pressure (MAP) of normal blood pressure in human beings (that is, 120/80 mmHg) would be:
(Systolic BP + Diastolic BP + Diastolic BP) / 3
120 + 80 + 80 / 3
280 / 3
93.3
This is why MAP is closer to diastolic BP than systolic BP.
