An enlistment contract is a legally-binding agreement between you and the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps or Coast Guard. Because of this, if you fail to comply with the obligations in your enlistment contract, the military can pursue potential criminal or civil penalties against you. However, it also means that the military is obligated to abide by the terms of the contract that it signs with you as well.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The mean arterial pressure (MAP) is a term used in medicine to describe an average blood pressure in an individual. It is defined as the average arterial pressure during a single cardiac cycle.
Contraction and relaxation of the ventricles in the heart lead to maximum (systolic) and minimum (diastolic) blood pressure values in the aorta as well as other arteries. Typical systolic and diastolic pressure values of 120/80 mm Hg are shown. The mean arterial pressure is shown to be approximately 93 mm Hg.Following ventricular systole, pressure in the left ventricle rapidly drops to below that in the aorta, thus, causing the aortic semilunar value to close.hile systolic and diastolic arterial blood pressure values are important measurements and have tremendous diagnostic value (see Table 1), it is the mean arterial pressure (MAP) that drives blood through the vasculature from the arteries to arterioles, capillaries, venules, veins, and back to the heart.
