How would relaxing the smooth muscles in arteries affect blood pressure?
Blood pressure would decrease
What is the lowest pressure exerted by blood in your arteries is your- blood pressure?
The lowest pressure exerted by blood in your arteries is your diastolic blood pressure.
Does high blood pressure affect the veins?
Veins don't carry blood at high pressure arteries carry blood at high pressure. Arteries have a thick, elastic muscle layer that can handle high pressure of the blood flowing through them.
Where is blood pressure is the greatest?
in the arteries
Blood pressure is higher in veins than arteries?
No, pressure is higher in the arteries.
What is the oxygenated blood enters each kidney through the?
Oxygenated blood enters the kidneys through the renal arteries. Blockage of these arteries can affect kidney function as well as blod pressure.
Why do arteries have thicker walls then veins?
Because arteries are narrower, thus increasing the pressure in the arteries. So you need thicker walls to contain the blood under pressure.
Which blood vessels supply oxygenated systemic blood to the lung tissue?
Pulmonary arteries
What blood vessel carries blood at high pressure and why?
Arteries carry blood at high pressure, simply because they are linked directly to the heart and lungs.
Which forces affect the exchange of substances between blood and tissue fluid?
At the proximal end of capillary, you get the fluid out in the tissue fluid due to blood pressure. At the distal end of the capillary, you get back the tissue fluid due to oncotic pressure of the blood proteins.
In an orbiting space station would the blood pressure in major arteries in the leg ever be greater than the blood pressure in major arteries in neck?
yes the blood pressure in major arteries in the leg is greater than the blood pressure in arteries in neck during orbiting in an orbiting space station.
What is the blood pressure when blood leaves the small arteries and enters the capillaries?
The blood pressure is usually high when blood leaves the small arteries and enters the capillaries.
