What else can I help you with?
What blocks the enzyme action that causes the blood vessels to contract resulting in hypertention?
ACE inhibtors
Abstract of effect of smoking on hypertention?
Smoking constricts the blood vessels. That means that in order to move the same amount of blood, the heart must pump harder and the pressure throughout the system must be higher.
What is the pressure of blood pumping through the blood vessels is constantly too high?
This would mean that the person has high blood pressure and the medical term for this is hypertension.
How does alcohol affect your blood vessels?
Alcohol can cause blood vessels to dilate, or widen, which can lead to a drop in blood pressure. This can affect circulation and increase the risk of heart problems.
When the blood vessels clog does that affect the amount of blood that can pass through?
yes
What affect do fats have on blood pressure?
it does affect the blood vessels causing the blood vessels to build up with plaque causing hypertension (high blood pressure)
How does smoking affect our blood?
It can lead to heart attacks or strokes; Harms the insides of your blood vessels.
Do ACE inhibitors affect blood vessels?
ACE inhibitors make blood vessels relax, which helps lower blood pressure and allows more oxygen-rich blood to reach the heart
How does sympathetic vasoconstriction or vasodilation affect blood flow in the body?
Sympathetic vasoconstriction decreases blood flow by narrowing blood vessels, while sympathetic vasodilation increases blood flow by widening blood vessels.
Do contractions affect blood flow?
Contractions of blood vessels can affect blood flow. Constricting (narrowing) of blood vessels reduces blood flow, while dilating (widening) of blood vessels increases blood flow. This regulation is important for controlling blood pressure and directing blood to different parts of the body based on its needs.
How would having clogged blood vessels affect the circulatory system?
more blood would circulate in the body
How does sympathetic activation affect the constriction of blood vessels?
Sympathetic activation causes blood vessels to constrict by releasing a neurotransmitter called norepinephrine, which binds to receptors on the smooth muscle cells of the blood vessels. This binding triggers a series of events that ultimately lead to the contraction of the smooth muscle, resulting in the narrowing of the blood vessels.
