Studies have found that respiration can alter the blood volume levels to the fingertips. When inhaling the blood volume levels can increase whilst the blood levels can decrease in the fingertips when exhaling. This is because respiration causes fluctuations in arterial blood pressure and heart rate.

Importance of blood volume and concentration?
Blood volume and Concentration
Is cerebral blood flow regulated by intrinsic autoregulatory mechanisms?
Yes !
What does it mean if you have low blood volume?
Low blood volume means that you do not have the amount of blood that you should have in your body. This could mean that you only have half, or maybe even more. Low blood volume could mean you are losing blood somewhere.
Which transport mechanisms is example of a swelling of a blood clot as water is pulled into a clot?
osmosis
What houses the mechanisms that most often interact with substances that cross the blood brain barrier?
forebrain
What changes the volume in blood cells?
collagen
How do thiazide diuretics work?
drugs in this class appear to lower blood pressure through several mechanisms. By promoting sodium loss they lower blood volume.
What is a long-term mechanism for maintaining blood pressure?
Blood pressure can be regulated by counteracting fluctuations in the blood pressure by the renal system. This can be done by altering the blood volume.
What is microplethysmography?
The technique of measuring minute changes in the volume of a part as a result of blood flow into or out of it.
Control mechanisms that lower blood pressure in response to rapid rise in blood pressure are called?
Negative feedback mechanisms
Why does your blood go back to your heart?
Because otherwise it would drain out of your fingertips.
What causes hypoperfusion?
Hyporperfusion can be occur if the heart is damaged and unable to pump and adequate amount of blood through the body, there is inadequate blood volume in the body, or blood vessels are unable to respond to changes in blood pressure.
What percent of blood volume loss is necessary for significant vital sign change?
Losing around 20% of your blood volume will put you into shock. NB: When your blood pressure falls, your body is unable to compensate through the normal mechanisms of control (such as the renin-angiotensin system in the kidneys, or constricting blood vessels) for the the loss of blood and the patient is in serious shock. If the blood loss is acute, the BP may rise initially due to the constriction of blood vessels etc.
List the mechanisms for transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood?
The mechanisms for transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood are the lungs. The blood vessels are also needed for transporting oxygen and dispelling carbon dioxide.
What is an example of negative feedback mechanisms?
Control of blood pressure.
What happens to blood volume when ECF volume falls?
Blood volume also falls.
