Peripheral resistance refers to the resistance that blood encounters as it flows through the smaller blood vessels, primarily arterioles and capillaries, in the systemic circulation. It is influenced by factors such as the diameter of the blood vessels, blood viscosity, and the total length of the vascular system. Higher peripheral resistance can lead to increased blood pressure, while lower resistance facilitates easier blood flow. This concept is crucial in understanding cardiovascular health and conditions like hypertension.
