Factors affecting blood pressure

[tigerthao]

Hello fellow nurses

I am currently a second year college student with an expressed interest in nursing. Can anyone explain to me the factors increasing blood flow? If you increase the blood flow would that also increase the blood pressure? Thank you!!

The factors affecting the blood flow:

Vicosity of the Blood

Compliance (elasticity of arteries)

Blood Volume

Cardiac Output

Blood vessels length and diameter

Nvm I just figured it out. Increasing the elasticity of the arteries decreases the blood pressure because the arteries stretches, increasing the circumference of the vessels giving them more room for the blood to fill. Thank you!

The factors influencing hemodynamics are the same as any other incompressible fluid flow... I highly recommend that you take a physics class to understand the fundamentals...
