Enter a tick in the appropriate column to indicate whether the following statements apply to vasoconstriction or vasodilation.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking us to categorize statements regarding blood vessels as either relating to vasoconstriction or vasodilation by marking the appropriate column.
Answer
1. Vasodilation, 2. Vasoconstriction, 3. Vasodilation, 4. Vasoconstriction, 5. Vasoconstriction, 6. Vasoconstriction, 7. Vasodilation
- Smooth muscle in blood vessel wall is relaxed - Vasodilation
- Lumen of blood vessel is reduced - Vasoconstriction
- Decreased resistance to blood flow - Vasodilation
- Usually caused by sympathetic stimulation - Vasoconstriction
- Volume of blood flow is reduced - Vasoconstriction
- Blood vessel wall thickens - Vasoconstriction
- Reduces the pressure at which blood is flowing - Vasodilation
Answer for screen readers

- Usually caused by sympathetic stimulation - Vasoconstriction
- Volume of blood flow is reduced - Vasoconstriction
- Blood vessel wall thickens - Vasoconstriction
- Reduces the pressure at which blood is flowing - Vasodilation
More Information
Vasoconstriction and vasodilation are processes that change the diameter of blood vessels, influencing blood flow and pressure.
Tips
Common mistakes include confusing which process increases or decreases blood flow and pressure.
