How does increased arterial resistance affect cappillary pressure?
|
decreases it but increases the pressure gradient as a result favoring flow
|
|
What is the difference between basal tone and resting tone?
|
Basal tone is the state of partial contraction of vessels due to intrinsic properties of walls independent of input
Resting tone is the nomal tone that is normally slighltly more sympathetically tonic tha the basal tone |
