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
How Could The Heart Compensate For Increased Flow Rate Changes? The human heart could compensate for flow rate changes to maintain blood pressure by altering heart rate. When the heart rate increases, so does blood pressure. When the heart rate decreases, so does blood pressure. Which of the following has the greatest effect on resistance
What Can Happen If Total Peripheral Resistance Increases? 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
