Question

Select the correct statement about factors that influence blood pressure.
A) Excess red cell production would cause a blood pressure increase.
B) Systemic vasodilation would increase blood pressure, due to diversion of blood to essential areas.
C) An increase in cardiac output corresponds to a decrease in blood pressure, due to the increased delivery.
D) Excess albumin transport protein production would decrease blood pressure

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (B).

Explanation:

The blood pressure may be defined as the pressure exerted by the arteries during the blood flow. The normal blood pressure of humans has been assigned is 80/120 mm Hg.

Various factors can cause the increase or decrease in the blood pressure. The excess production of the blood cells will cause the increase in blood pressure as more blood will exert more pressure during flow as blood cells have protein erythropoietin that increases the blood pressure. Factors like vasodilation and decrease cardiac output decreases the blood pressure.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
