What kind blood vessels stretch due to blood pressure?
arteries is the answer
What kind of vessels stretch due to blood pressure?
arteries is the answer
What are the receptors that trigger responses that control blood pressure as the blood vessels stretch?
Baroreceptors
What kind of tissue enables the blood vessels to stretch?
Blood vessels are surrounded by very small circular muscles which contract and relax to allow blood vessels to constrict and dilate. The vessels also contain elastin which allows them to stretch.
Why do arteries stretch?
Arteries are high-pressure vessels. However, this pressure is not constant. As the heart pumps blood into the arteries, the pressure dramatically increases. They must stretch to accommodate this change, or risk rupturing.
Why are muscle cells stretchy?
All blood vessels can stretch to an extent. However, arteries are most flexible because they have more muscular fibers in their walls.
Where are the proprioreceptors located at?
Proprioreceptors are found in numerous places such as blood vessels and intestines. they respond to stretch and pressure stimuli.
Lower than normal blood pressure is called?
Abnormally low Blood Pressure is called "Hypotension"(Hypo-= Below, beneath, under, less than normal, deficient, in the lowest state of; Tension= to strain or stretch.)Blood pressure is the force(strain) on the blood vessels' walls. Thus, Hypotension is the less than normal strain on the walls of the blood vessels.
Blood pressure is affected by constriction and dilation of?
Blood vessels. Constriction of blood vessels increases blood pressure by reducing the space for blood flow, while dilation of blood vessels decreases blood pressure by increasing the space for blood flow.
What is the lowest pressure against the walls of the blood vessels?
No, systolic pressure is the highest pressure against the walls of the blood vessels. Diastolic pressure is the lowest pressure against the walls of the blood vessels.
Why do arteries?
Arteries are high-pressure vessels. However, this pressure is not constant. As the heart pumps blood into the arteries, the pressure dramatically increases. They must stretch to accommodate this change, or risk rupturing.
Why does an increase in blood volume result in a decrease in blood pressure?
It doesn't. The opposite is true. Blood pressure is proportional to blood volume. The greater the blood volume is, the higher the blood pressure will be. This is because there will be a greater volume of blood flowing through the blood vessels which means that a greater pressure will be exerted on the walls of the blood vessels, which means increased blood pressure.
