Factors affecting bloodflow

There is a high concentration of blood cells and solutes

The blood is more thick and the heart has to pump harder

Blood pressure goes up

All are correct

 The force applied by the heart and amount of blood pumped determine blood pressure.

 It’s normal and healthy to have extended periods of high blood pressure.

 Your blood pressure is higher when you sleep. 

 Being nervous can decrease your blood pressure.

Arterial plaque clogs the arteries, limiting or stopping blood flow.

Arterial plaque changes the direction of blood flow, which forces oxygenated blood to the heart.

Arterial plaque changes the size of blood cells, which prevents blood from flowing in the arteries.

Arterial plaque clears the arteries, increasing blood flow.

A blood clot will increase blood flow in other areas, allowing more oxygen to reach tissue in those areas.

A blood clot will change the direction of blood flow, allowing oxygen to reach tissue in a new area.

A blood clot will not change blood flow, allowing the same amount of oxygen to reach tissue in a certain area.

A blood clot will block blood flow, preventing oxygen from reaching tissue in a certain area.

The hardening of the arteries would likely cause blood flow to remain constant.

The hardening of the arteries would likely increase blood flow.

The hardening of the arteries would likely cause blood flow to stop completely.

The hardening of the arteries would likely restrict blood flow.

As the thickness of the blood decreases, the rate of blood flow increases.

As the diameter of a blood vessel decreases, the rate of blood flow increases.

As the length of a vein decreases, the resistance to blood flow decreases

As blood pressure increases, the rate of blood flow decreases.

an increase in blood pressure

an increase in overall blood volume

a decrease in the radius of a blood vessel

a decrease in blood viscosity

circulating blood to tissues

assembling amino acids into proteins

replacing damaged cells with new cells

breaking down food particles into molecules

A doctor prescribes a blood thinner to a patient with high blood pressure. What impact will this medication have on blood flow and viscosity?

The blood flow will decrease and the viscosity will increase.

The blood flow will increase and the viscosity will decrease

The blood flow will increase and the viscosity will increase.
