BLOOD VESSELS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Blood flow would be increased by ____
A
increasing cardiac output
B
decreasing vessel diameter
C
increasing blood vessel length
D
decreasing blood pressure
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cardiac output determines the amount of blood to be carried by the blood vessels. In a normal situation, it is approximately 5 L. Any increase in cardiac output will, in turn, increase blood pressure and thus promote blood flow.

Detailed explanation-2: -The volume of blood flow from the heart through the ventricles is known as cardiac output. With an increase in cardiac output, blood pressure rises. Increasing the stroke volume, or the amount of blood pumped out by each ventricle every cardiac cycle, is one of the many ways to enhance cardiac output.

Detailed explanation-3: -An increase in the distension of the ventricle will therefore result in an increase in the force of contraction, which will increase cardiac output.
