How does an increase in the total vessel length cause an increase in blood pressure?

Medicine
1 answer:
finlep [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The blood pressure is directly proportional to the total length of the vessel.

Explanation:

The blood pressure is directly proportional to the total length of the vessel.

The long blood vessel will have higher the resistance and the flow of blood will be lower.

Thus, making intuitive sense, as with blood volume, as the vessel's enhanced surface area will impede blood flow. This lowering area will lead to the higher blood pressure through the blood vessel. Similarly with the reduction in the resistance of the blood vessel, the blood flow will boost.

The sodium/potassium exchange pump uses what method of cellular transpont?
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

Primary active transport

Explanation:

Active transport may be defined as the movement of particles against their concentration gradient with the help of an energy source like ATP. Two main types of active transport are  secondary active transport and  primary active transport.

Primary active transport includes the sodium potassium pump because it directly uses the stored chemical energy in the form of ATP. Three sodium moves out of the cell and two potassium moves inside the cell with the help of ATP.

Thus, the correct answer is option (a).

steoporosis and related low bone mass affect many adults in North America, especially older women. One-third of all women experi
tatuchka [14]

Answer: This is TRUE for me. Osteoporosis is a preventable disease.

Explanation:

In this condition, bone density ( the amount of bone tissue) is reduced because it's deposition does not keep pace with resorption. Although the bone is adequately mineralised, it is fragile and microscopically abnormal, with loss of internal structure.

Peak bone mass occurs around 35 years and then gradually declines in both sexes. Lowered oestrogen levels after the menopause are associated with a period of accelerated bone loss in women. Thereafter bone density in women is less than in men for any given age. That is why in North America, one-third of all women experience fractures because of this disease, amounting to about 2 million bone fractures per year.

Common features of osteoporosis are:

--> skeletal deformity: gradual loss of height with age, caused by compression of vertebrae.

--> bone pain

--> fractures: especially of the hip ( neck of femur), wrist and vertebrae.

It is TRUE for me that some risk factors can't be changed ( which is the low oestrogen levels that occur after menopause in women) but others, such as poor calcium intake, can.

Exercise and Calcium intake during childhood and adolescence are important in determining eventual bone mass of an individual and in preventing risk of osteoporosis in later life.
