Normal blood pressure is around 120/80 mmHg. Atmospheric pressure at sea level is roughly 760 mmHg.
The millimeter of mercury (mmHg) equals approximately 133.322 Pa — the pressure exerted by a 1 mm column of mercury under standard gravity. It is the conventional unit for blood pressure worldwide, even in countries that have otherwise gone fully metric.
The standard atmosphere (atm) is defined as exactly 101,325 Pa. It is the conventional reference for chemistry (gas-law calculations), aviation altimetry, and historic engineering. Despite the name, it is not the actual atmospheric pressure at any single place — that varies daily.
