  1. It makes the blood vessels narrow and then the blood has to push very hard to get through the blood vessel. When the blood vessels get skinnier, there's not enough room for all the blood to push through. It's like trying to drink something through a tiny, skinny straw. It's easier when the straw is wider, right? Same with the blood. It takes a lot more pressure to push through the narrow tube, just like it takes a lot more pressure for you to suck up your soda through a tiny, thin straw!
