The pressures in various parts of the body can be measured and often provide valuable medical indicators. The shape of the eye is maintained by fluid pressure, called intraocular pressure. When the circulation of fluid in the eye is blocked, it can lead to a buildup in pressure, a condition called glaucoma. Some of the other pressures in the body are spinal and skull pressures, bladder pressure, pressures in the skele

Absolute pressure is the sum of gauge pressure and atmospheric pressure. Aneroid gauge measures pressure using a bellows-and-spring arrangement connected to the pointer of a calibrated scale. Open-tube manometers have U-shaped tubes and one end is always open. It is used to measure pressure. A mercury barometer is a device that measures atmospheric pressure.
