Describe some of the effects that dilated blood vessels will have on blood pressure.

1 answer:

7 0

Since pressure is force per unit area, blood pressure could be thought as the force exerted by the blood to the surface area of your blood vessels. When your blood vessels dilate, it means that they expanded. The result would be faster flow of blood. When this happens, the force of the blood is not any more concentrated on your blood vessels because there is more room available.

Think of a faucet where tap water flows. When you stopper the faucet with your finger, you feel the force of the water. The pressure builds up as manifested by the sound your faucet makes. But when you release your finger, the water rushes through and flows faster. The pressure is released. Therefore, when your blood vessels are dilated, your blood pressure decreases.

Carbon chains are principal features of both carbohydrates and lipids.what is the primary difference between these two types of

solong [7]

While both carbohydrates and lipids are made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen there are several differences:

1. Carbohydrates are chains of 2 or more carbon atoms. These can be very lengthy (like long cellulose chains of glucose units). They have many polar OH groups (e.g. glucose - C6H6O6). Most carbohydrates are hydrophilic and are soluble in water because of their polar OH groups. They are not necessarily sugars nor are they necessarily sweet. They are also important components of DNA, RNA and ATP.

2. Lipids are more diverse in their chemistry. They generally have a polar region at one end (this end attracts water) and a large non polar hydrocarbon region that repels water. Lipids don't dissolve in water and instead clump together with their hydrocarbon regions on the interior. Lipids include oils, fatty acids, waxes, steroids and hormones.
