High blood pressure can be attributed to stress, which can also cause a heightened pulse rate. High blood pressure can also be detrimental to one's health if they also have clogged arteries because it can increase the chances of Heart disease or a heart attack.
High blood pressure can harden your arteries, which decreases the flow of blood and oxygen to your heart and lead to heart disease.
Viens carry blood away from the heart while veins carry blood towardj the heart. Arteries are generally thicker than veins because arteries must withstand the pressure of the blood coming away from the heart.
A pressure gradient exists in the arteries because the heart actively pumps the blood; additionally, the elasticity of the larger arteries helps force the blood along. There is a lower pressure gradient within the veins that is generated by the muscles squeezing the blood along back to the heart (assisted by valves within the veins).
Arteries are composed mainly of smooth muscle cells, also known as vascular smooth muscle. These muscle cells are responsible for regulating the diameter and constriction of the arteries, allowing for the control of blood flow and pressure. Additionally, arteries also have a layer of connective tissue and endothelial cells that line the inner surface.
The coronary arteries deliver blood to the muscles of the heart.
There are several disorders that can lead to clogged arteries. These include but are not limited to: high blood pressure High cholesterol diabetes...
The lowest pressure exerted by blood in your arteries is your diastolic blood pressure.
No. Clogged arteries are caused by too much 'bad' cholesterol and triglycerides in your blood...nothing to do with cornstarch.
Blood pressure is the pressure of the blood in the circulatory system, often measured for diagnosis since it is closely related to the force and rate of the heartbeat and the diameter and elasticity of the arterial walls.
Because arteries have to do with giving blood to body parts and blood pressure has to do with the amount of blood you have and the arteries have a huge part in that!!! Thank you arteries are the carriers of oygenated blood to the body . blood pressue is very high. the walls are made of elstic material which can either contract or dilate due to pressure changes. blood pressure levels can be influenced by exercise ie when muscles are in motion and temperature changes
in the arteries
No, pressure is higher in the arteries.
Because arteries are narrower, thus increasing the pressure in the arteries. So you need thicker walls to contain the blood under pressure.
Arteries carry blood at high pressure, simply because they are linked directly to the heart and lungs.
Arteries are things in your body that gives blood to the heart if these arteries are clogged with greasy junk food you can probably die.
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.
The blood pressure is usually high when blood leaves the small arteries and enters the capillaries.
