Can an excess of cerebrospinal fluid cause reacurring severe headaches and have parallel symptoms of viral menengitis?
excess of cerebrospinal fluid increases the pressure in the cranium that is responsible for the headaches and vomitings, it may some times confused with viral meningitis.
When the pressure of a gas increases at constant temperature its volume?
Temperature increases as pressure increases.
What is vasoconstriction?
Vasoconstriction is the constriction or narrowing of blood vessels by small muscles in their walls, slowing or blocking blood flow. Vasoconstriction is the constriction of blood vessels that increases blood pressure.
How temperature affects pressure?
