How is blood pressure affected when you increase dilation?
Blood pressure drops as dilation increases. This occurs because of decrease resistance.
What happened to the glomerular pressure as the afferent radius is increased?
increase afferent radius or decrease efferent radius depending on the degree of change in blood pressure
Does the parasympathetic nervous system increase or decrease BP?
The parasympathetic nervous system serves as the "rest and digest" system, which results in vasodilation of the peripheral vessels. This results in an overall decrease in blood pressure :)
How does blood pressure decrease in a vessel as distance from the left ventricle increase?
Pushing water through a hose, the pressure at either end is equal. This is not true with blood pressure. The blood pressure in the body changes based on distance from the left ventricle due to slowdown caused by curves, friction and variation of vessel size.
What pressure will increase if the presence of plasma proteins in the blood increases?
Venous blood pressure.
What are the factors affecting peripheral resistance which influence BP?
There are three factors that increase peripheral resistance. These factors include autonomic activity, pharmacologic agents, and blood viscosity. Each factor increases the constriction of arteries, which in turn causes peripheral resistance.
Does the stimulation of the adrenal medulla increase or decrease blood pressure?
increases blood pressure
What does not decrease the blood pressure?
Sugar. That helps to increase it. Not eating anything but healthy foods might decrease blood pressure by a bit.
Does hemorrhage increase blood pressure?
the question is not sufficiently specified to enable a good answer in a short essay. There are many kinds and degrees of "Hemorrhage" No. A hemorrhage causes a loss in blood/plasma, and that will decrease the hydrostatic pressure of the vessels --> decrease blood pressure.
Does arteriorsclerosis increase or decrease blood pressure?
Arteriosclerosis increases blood pressure due to a reduction of compliance in the arterial tree.
How is blood pressure affected when you increase dilation?
Blood pressure drops as dilation increases. This occurs because of decrease resistance.
Does hemorrhage increase or decrease blood pressure?
Blood has a normal viscosity dependent on adequate hydration and the absence of any illness that could affect normal electrolyte balance in the body. As blood thickens, it becomes harder for blood vessels to return the blood through the venous and arterial blood vessels. This increases the work of the heart, as a pump, to move the thickened blood to the brain and vital organs, out to the limbs, and have it return again for oxygenation and the process continues again. Various factors combine to increase heart rate and blood pressure.
Is 87 over 54 a low blood pressure?
105/82 is considered low-normal blood pressure, nothing to be concerned about, your blood pressure can decrease and increase based on multiple factors. The most important factor being how physically fit you are.
How would relaxing the smooth muscles in arteries affect blood pressure?
Blood pressure would decrease
What is the effect of a fluid bolus on blood pressure and heart rate?
It will increase blood pressure by increasing volume. This will have a negate chromotropic effect and decrease HR.
Does heat affect blood pressure?
Increases in body temperature cause a corresponding increase in respiratory rate and heart rate because there is an increase in metabolic needs of the body. As regards blood Pressure, I believe the blood pressure goes down as a result of an Increase in body temperature. The body generates a lot of heat that decreases body hydration level and a result the body becomes dehydrated and the BP decreases. Increase with fever, necessitating more oxygen. The client who has a decrease in body temperature will experience a decrease in respiratory rate, Heart rate and Blood pressure.
When there is increased resistance then arteriolar constriction and pressure drops?
Resistance changes dramatically with changes in diameter of blood vessels (arterioles are one type of blood vessel). If you INCREASE the diameter of the arteriole, you DECREASE the resistance and thus DECREASE the blood pressure.
