A similar effect takes place as you wake up every morning. How does your body cope with these sudden changes in blood pressure?

Is increasing blood pressure 5 - 10 times higher a viableoption? What percentage increase in blood pressure is reasonable?Explain!

Is decreasing the length of your blood vessels a viable option?Explain!

The arterioles (small arteries) are surrounded by circularmuscles. In order to increase the blood flow rate by a factor of 5,what percentage increase in the radius of a blood vessel is needed?(This is called vasodilatation.)

Arteries in the human body can be constricted when plaque buildsup on the inside walls. How does this affect the blood flow ratethrough this artery? Is it possible for the body to keep the flowrate constant? Explain!

Compare blood pressure and velocity in arteries vs. veins vs. capillaries. a. Why is it beneficial to have low blood velocity in the capillaries? b. There is blood pressure within capillaries, resulting in fluid loss. Is any of the lost fluid returned directly to the capillaries? What happens to the rest?
