If a person was sitting, reclining, or standing, which position would cause the blood pressure to be highest and lowest?
Also, if there was an increase in blood viscosity, cardiac ouput, and diameter of the arterioles would this constitute to an increase in blood pressure as well?
blood pressure (BP) is usuall lowest standing position and highest in supine (reclining) position. This is because the blood return to the heart is decreased when standing.

Exercise is at its highest when we exercise and lowest when we sleep.
What else can I help you with?
Which part of the systemic circuit has the highest blood pressure?
The blood pressure is the highest in the arteries. It will decrease continuously as it flows through the systemic circuit.
What structure has the lowest blood pressure in the systemic circulation?
in the capillaries
The greater the the pulse pressure the lower the pressure gradient driving blood from the aorta through the systemic circulation?
This statement is not accurate. Pulse pressure is the difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure and is related to the elasticity of arteries. It does not directly affect the pressure gradient driving blood through the systemic circulation, which is mainly determined by the overall systemic vascular resistance.
Is the pulmonary artery a part of systemic circulation?
The blood circulation in the Lungs, called the pulmonary circulation, is COMPLETELY a part of the general, systemic circulation of Blood.
Is blood pressure highest in the veins?
No. Veins carry the blood back to the heart, and are low-pressure vessels. The arteries are the high-pressure vessels.
What is the flow of blood to the tissues of the heart?
coronary circulation
What are the two main circulatory routes in the body?
You have lesser circulation or the pulmonary circulation. Blood goes to lungs in this system from the right side of heart. You have greater circulation or the systemic circulation. Blood goes to all over the rest of body through this circulation. The amount of blood that flows is same in both the systems. You have about 25/15 mm of Hg pressure in pulmonary circulation. You have about 120/80 mm of Hg pressure in systemic circulation.
What are the two types of circulation of blood in the body?
Pulmonary and systemic
What is the purpose of systemic circulation?
The purpose of systemic circulation is to carry blood from the heart to the body. It then returns the blood back to the heart.
What are the two types of circulation in the body?
Pulmonary - carries oxygen-depleted blood away from the heart, to the lungs, and returns oxygenated blood back to the heart. Systemic - carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body, and returns deoxygenated blood back to the heart.
Which of the two paths of blood circulation is shorter?
The pulmonary circulation (from heart to lungs and back) is shorter than the systemic circulation (from heart to body tissues and back).
Blood returning from the body (systemic circulation) enters which chamber of the heart?
Blood returning from the body systemic circulation first enters which chamber of the heart?
