Which Of The Following Would Cause A Decrease In Total Peripheral Resistance? Vasodilation of arterioles in the skeletal and heart muscles and skin causes a decrease in total peripheral resistance to blood flow. This decrease is partially offset by vasoconstriction of arterioles in other organs. Which of the following will decrease total peripheral resistance to

This can occur when someone is very stressed or has a lot of tightened muscles due to exercise stress, as can be seen in the adjacent picture. In summary, any increases in cardiac output (HR and/or SV), blood viscosity or total peripheral resistance will result in increases
