What else can I help you with?
How would relaxing the smooth muscles in arteries affect blood pressure?
Blood pressure would decrease
Would vasoconstriction decrease peripheral resistance?
No, vasoconstriction would increase peripheral resistance. When blood vessels constrict, the diameter of the blood vessels becomes smaller, which increases resistance to blood flow. This can lead to an increase in blood pressure.
Where in the body would you find low oxygen levels cause vasoconstriction?
Low oxygen levels cause vasoconstriction in the pulmonary arteries of the lungs. This response helps redirect blood flow to better oxygenated areas of the lungs for efficient gas exchange.
Is there an artery between your bladder and kidneys?
There are arteries all throughout the body. So yes I would think so
How would you explain what vasoconstriction mean?
Vasoconstriction is the narrowing of blood vessels.
A decrease in plasma osmolality would increase?
urine volume excretion, as the kidneys would excrete more water to maintain balance.
What arteries supply the kidney?
Your renal arteries supply the kidneys with blood while the renal veins take it away back to the heart.
How would the excretory system maintain stable internal conditions during a crisis?
The kidneys retain salt when the blood pressure is low. This keeps fluid in the body, thus maintaining the blood pressure. The kidneys cause vasoconstriction in the body when the blood pressure is low. This raises the blood pressure.
Carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart?
The aorta pumps the blood out of the heart to the renal artery that leads into the kidneys.
How would the process of red blood cell production be affected by constricting the arteries that supply blood to the kidneys?
Constricting the arteries that supply blood to the kidneys can lead to reduced oxygen levels in the kidney tissue. This can trigger the release of erythropoietin, a hormone that stimulates red blood cell production in the bone marrow. Over time, this can increase the production of red blood cells to compensate for the low oxygen levels.
Which artery delivers blood to the kidney and would be an example of a muscular artery?
The renal artery supplies blood to the kidneys. All arteries are muscular since they contain a layer tunica muscularis.
Does cardiac output affect urine output?
Certainly. Decrease cardiac output would mean a decreased in blood flow to the kidneys, which would lead to reduced filtration, therefore urine output.
