The top number is the maximum pressure your heart exerts while beating (systolic pressure), and the bottom number is the amount of pressure in your arteries between beats (diastolic pressure). The numeric difference between your systolic and diastolic blood pressure is called your pulse pressure.

Q
Newtonian vs non-newtonian fluid
A
Newtonian: constant viscosity ex. plasma, (which means the shear stress does not have an effect)
Non-newtonian: viscosity of a the fluid will change due to agitation or pressure (shear stress has an impact)
