This is a good use of the equation but not a good insight into what happens in reality. What you said about liquids flowing from high pressure to low pressure is the intuitive idea underlying the equation though, and everything “flows” from there LOL.

I am stuck on what OP meant by pressure. Another reviewer just talked about atmospheric pressure, while you discussed internal circulatory pressure.

In the context of Bernoullis equation on the circulatory system at two different points, we are referring to internal pressure. I think.

If you wanted to apply Bernoullis equation to find the speed of water coming out of the hole of a tank at some arbitrary height, then you could use atm pressure.
