Fill in the Blank QuestionFill in the blank question.Increasing the diameter of an artery () or decreasing the diameter of an artery () can alter blood flow and blood pressure.

The diameter of an individual’s blood vessel is decreased due to a build up of fatty deposits. Which of the following factors would NOT effect blood flow through the vessel: the flow pattern of the blood the pressure gradient between both sides of the deposit The partial pressure of oxygen in the blood the viscosity of the blood

Blood pressure may be reduced with the use of an agent that expands the diameter of blood vessels, or aSelect one:a.venipuncture.b.vaccine.c.vasoconstrictor.d.vasodilator.

Poiseuille’s Law describes the pressure drop in an artery of length L and radius r due to the viscosity of blood, where η is the coefficient of viscosity for the fluid and Q is the volume flow rate. According to Poiseuille’s Law, pressure drop would be MOST affected by:A.increasing the coefficient of viscosity by a factor of two.B.increasing the volume flow rate by a factor of two.C.increasing length of the artery by a factor of two.D.reducing the radius of the artery by a factor of two.

Which of the following result(s) in an increase in fluid flow rate?Question 6Select one:A.increase in pressureB.increase in pressure and decrease in radius diameterC.decrease in radius diameterD.increase in pressure and increase in radius diameterE.increase in radius diameter

Which hemodynamic condition would raise blood pressure most?  vasoconstriction. increased the length of the blood vessels. increased viscosity of the blood. increased blood flow to a muscl
