Document Summary

Higher than venous because it takes effort to send the oxygenated blood against gravity. This increases as the arteries get smaller. Related to p1v1 = p2v2 (as the volume of vessel decreases, the pressure in the vessel increases) Peripheral resistance can be controlled by cns to increases the flow. This determines how much blood is going to fill the heart. This is blood returning to right atrium. Due to veins being closer to heart. Veins also have a greater diameter which means decreases in pressure. Also veins travel with gravity and so less effort to deliver deoxygenated blood to the heart. Friction between blood and vessel walls based on diameter and length of vessels. Longer vessels higher resistance & lower flow. Most resistance is near boundaries / surfaces of vessel. If you reduce the diameter of a vessel by half ( ) Ve;pcoty of blood flow is inversely proportional to resistance.
