Your heart is basically a pump, propelling blood to all parts of your body through your arteries. Blood pressure refers to how hard the blood pushes against the artery walls.

In between beats, the heart rests and pressure is at its lowest, the bottom number on a blood pressure readings. This is why blood pressure is expressed as one number (the pressure when blood is being actively propelled) over another number (the pressure when the heart is at rest).
