What would decrease peripheral resistance to blood flow?

Biology

Blizzard [7]3 years ago
5 0

Blood flow reduces when its flow resistance is expanded. Total peripheral resistance is characterized as total blood flow resistance in the systemic circulation. Because of their smaller size and muscle walls the arterioles are effective regulators of blood flow.

Peripheral resistance is the artery's resistance to blood flow. As the arteries restrict the resistance increases and the resistance decreases when they dilate. Three factors influencing peripheral resistance are :

  • Autonomous activity: a sympathetic activity which blocks peripheral arteries.
  • Pharmacological agents: the vasoconstrictor drugs raise resistance while it is reduced by vasodilator drugs.
  • Viscosity of the blood: Higher viscosity enhances resistance.

Given that our model finch population is capable of rapid evolution in response to a changing environment, explain why you think
SIZIF [17.4K]

Darwin's finches are a traditional illustration of an adaptive radiation. Their ancestor came on the Galapagos Island about two million years ago. With time Darwin's finches have developed into fifteen different species separated on the basis of beak shape, body size, and feeding and song behavior.  

The population of finches possesses the tendency of evolving rapidly in response to a changing environment. However, they can also get extinct in condition if the weather fluctuates too briskly between the dry and wet seasons. This would most likely take place due to the immigration of genes and mutations within the genes that are conducted on to the next generations.

Answer:

Selective Optimization With Selection.

Explanation:

It is known that this theory was widely known from 1980s and was postulated by a man called Baltes. Baltes here argued that as individuals advance through life they are increasingly faced by age related deficits which place limits on their cognitive and behavioral resources. Tackling these limits placed on domains, individuals will begin to invest resources into particular styles and behaviors that are deemed adaptive to the new constraints.
