Is minoxidil a steriod?
No. Minoxidil is a direct acting peripheral vasodilator that reduces elevated systolic and diastolic blood pressure by decreasing peripheral vascular resistance. This means it lowers your blood pressure by increasing the circumference of your blood vessels and relaxing the smooth muscles of your blood vessels. When the blood vessels are "wider" and "pump" less hard, blood can flow with less pressure through the vessels.
What factors influences resistance to blood flow in the arteries?
resistance occurs as the blood flows away from heart through the vessels in the peripheral systemic circulation a term known as peripheral resistance. Viscosity of the blood (thickness) ,vessel length (distance) and vessel diameter (blood vessel radius) are three factors
What is the function of the heart blood blood vessels?
Heart-your heart is to pump blood into the blood vessels.Blood vessels-the blood vessels are used to carry bloodBlood- blood carry nutrients to your whole body.
