4 Questions
How do stiff arteries affect systolic blood pressure?
Stiff arteries increase systolic blood pressure by reducing arterial distension during systole.
What is the impact of stiff arteries on diastolic blood pressure?
Stiff arteries decrease diastolic blood pressure by reducing arterial recoil during diastole.
How does the reduced capillary transit time relate to stiff arteries?
Stiff arteries reduce capillary transit time due to decreased diastolic blood flow.
Explain the impact of stiff arteries on capillary exchange.
Stiff arteries decrease capillary exchange due to reduced capillary transit time.
Test your knowledge on the effects of stiff arteries on the cardiovascular system, including the impact on systolic and diastolic blood pressure, capillary transit time, and capillary exchange.
