How does blood viscosity affect blood flow?
Peripheral resistance
What is peripheral blood flow?
Peripheral blood flow refers to blood flow that occurs in the extremities as opposed to blood that flows to the brain, heart, lungs, and vital organs.
The client was admitted to the hospital with hypertension The development of arteriosclerosis has increased peripheral resistance to blood flow worsening his hypertension This is an example of what?
oh my gosh i hope someone answers this question soon, i am worried about that client.
The patient has arteriosclerosis which results in increased peripheral resistance to blood flow which worsens the hypertension Is this a negative or positive feedback.Explain?
Its a negative feedback,because the smaller the lumen , the higher the blood pressure because of the deposit in the vessel thus causing the resistance.
What is the indicator of peripheral blood flow?
Strength of pulses is one clinical indicator of peripheral blood flow. Another is capillary refill time.
What is blood flow directly proportional to?
Peripheral resistance
Decreased peripheral resistance to blood flow?
Anemia
What decreases peripheral resistance to blood flow?
Vasodilation and decreasing blood viscosity
Is there a treatment for Cerebral Arteriosclerosis?
Vasodilators help to treat the symptoms of cerebral vascular insufficiency and arteriosclerosis by increasing the blood flow in veins and arteries.
Explain why the homeostatic mechanism of decreasing peripheral blood flow is critical to survive?
In cases of extreme trauma, such as blood loss, the body tries to preserve the internal organs by restricting peripheral blood flow.
What would decreased peripheral resistance to blood flow?
Vasodilation and decreasing blood viscosity
Why is arteriosclerosis bad for you?
Arteriosclerosis is a hardening or narrowing of the arteries which is usually caused by deposits of fat or cholesterol. This condition can cause heart attack and stroke.
