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.
What condition causes increased rigidity of peripheral blood vessels with age?
arteriosclerosis
What is the layer immediately beneath the plasma in a sample of centrifuged blood?
Mononuclear cells
What is the medical term meaning high number of mononuclear leukocytes in the blood?
Mononucleosis
What do cells infected with the Epstein-Barr virus look like under the microscope?
The cells infected with Epstein-Bar virus do not have any special look. You can see the peripheral blood smear with many lymphocytes. Some of them are atypical.
What causes peripheral artery disease (PAD)?
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is caused by atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is the build-up of plaque in your artery walls, which slows down blood flow.

What can cause a peripheral artery disease?
One of the major causes of peripheral arterial disease in the developed world is diabetes mellitus. This condition, if blood glucose levels are not well controlled, is associated with peripheral arterial disease which characteristically effects the kidneys and the retina of the eye. Damage to the micro-circulation occurs as well as disease of the larger vessels. Such processes lead to damage of the peripheral nerves, leading to anaesthesia (total numbness).Elevated serum levels of LDL-Cholesterol are also associated with damage to the peripheral arteries. Other causes include tobacco smoking.One of the most important causes of Peripheral Artery Disease is said to be Atherosclerosis which mainly occurs when the fatty deposits build up in the walls of your artery and as a result could reduce the blood flow in the body. The least common cause of Peripheral Artery Disease is said to be blood clotting in the arteries, injury to the limbs.
What does peripheral blood vessels mean?
Peripheral means "at the edge". The blood vessels further away from the heart.
What is the significance of micromegakaryocytes in peripheral blood?
micromegakaryocytes are typically seen in the peripheral blood in Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) which are considered "pre-leukemia" syndromes because a high proportion of them progress to acute leukemia.Micromegakaryocytes are caused by dysmegakaryocytopoiesis, meaning the bone marrow is not making normal megakaryocytes. Other megakaryocyte abnormalities may include large megakaryocytes that lack normal nuclear segmention, megs with two or more small unconnected nuclei, and "mononuclear" megs that lack normal nuclear lobation.
What is peripheral blood flow?
Peripheral blood flow refers to blood flow that occurs in the extremities as opposed to blood that flows to the brain, heart, lungs, and vital organs.
