Arterial blood pressure is created by the combined forces, and complex interactions, of cardiac output, systemic vascular resistance (resistance produced mainly in the arterioles), and viscosity of the blood - Blood Pressure (BP) = Cardiac Output (CO) x Systemic Vascular Resistance (SVR). The arterial blood pressure is the force causing blood to flow through the arteries, into the capillaries, then back to the heart via the veins.
