Where does regulation of peripheral resistance occurs most often?
Arterioles
How do you diameter of a circle?
You do a diameter circle!!
What part of a diameter is a radius?
It is half of the diameter or radius = diameter/2
A chord of a circle that contains the center of a circle-?
The cord of a circle that contains the center of that circle is a diameter of that circle.
What is external diameter?
The diameter is the measurement of a line that goes right through a circle, through the centre point. In cases where we have a ring or some other such object with multiple circles, we would have an external diameter and an internal diameter. The internal diameter is the diameter of the inner circle. The external diameter is the diameter of the outer circle.
What controls the diameter of the arterioles and what do changes in diameter affect?
Arterioles are the smallest vessels of the arterial system, with a diameter of about 1/3 millimeter or smaller. There is much smooth muscle in their tunica media, which causes vasocontrictionwhen it contracts, and vasodilation when it relaxes. Such vasoconstriction and vasodilation plays two important roles in the cardiovascular system.controls of distribution of blood flow to different parts of the bodydetermines the total peripheral resistance
Is the diameter of the lumen larger in arteries or in capillaries?
Arteries have the largest diameter, then arterioles, and last, capillaries.
Where are arterioles located?
Arterioles are small diameter vessels that branch off of your arteries. They inevitably connect arteries to capillaries. You can find them pretty much anywhere in your body
How does smooth muscle make blood vessels function?
Smooth muscle is mostly in the afferent branch going from the arteries to the arterioles. The body controls where blood will flow by controlling the vessel diameter. An increase in sympathetic tone constricts smooth muscle, decreases blood vessel diameter, and limits blood flow.
What are arterioles in the skin and digits?
It is basically a blood vessel (vein) except it is much smaller in diameter.
What are cardiovascular adadptions?
incorporations of father arterioles by daughter arterioles
What blood vessel connects arteries to capillaries?
Arterioles.
When there is increased resistance then arteriolar constriction and pressure drops?
Resistance changes dramatically with changes in diameter of blood vessels (arterioles are one type of blood vessel). If you INCREASE the diameter of the arteriole, you DECREASE the resistance and thus DECREASE the blood pressure.
Where is the iris located?
The iris is the layer that surrounds the pupil and controls the size and diameter of the pupil. It also controls the amount of light that reaches the pupil.
What happens to arterioles when the body temperature falls?
I have same question It happens a dilation of the arterioles.
Which blood vessel tunic is composed of smooth muscle and controls the diameter of the vessel?
Tunica interna
What is the effect of constricted arterioles in the glomerular filtration rate?
Decreasing the diameter of the efferent arteriole would increase the hydrostatic pressure inside the glomerulus and effectively increase the glomerular filtration rate. If you increase the diameter of the afferent arteriole you would achieve the same effect.
