Best Answer

Blood has a normal viscosity dependent on adequate hydration and the absence of any illness that could affect normal electrolyte balance in the body. As blood thickens, it becomes harder for blood vessels to return the blood through the venous and arterial blood vessels. This increases the work of the heart, as a pump, to move the thickened blood to the brain and vital organs, out to the limbs, and have it return again for oxygenation and the process continues again. Various factors combine to increase heart rate and blood pressure.

Does hemorrhage increase blood pressure?

the question is not sufficiently specified to enable a good answer in a short essay. There are many kinds and degrees of "Hemorrhage" No. A hemorrhage causes a loss in blood/plasma, and that will decrease the hydrostatic pressure of the vessels --> decrease blood pressure.

Does heat affect blood pressure?

Increases in body temperature cause a corresponding increase in respiratory rate and heart rate because there is an increase in metabolic needs of the body. As regards blood Pressure, I believe the blood pressure goes down as a result of an Increase in body temperature. The body generates a lot of heat that decreases body hydration level and a result the body becomes dehydrated and the BP decreases. Increase with fever, necessitating more oxygen. The client who has a decrease in body temperature will experience a decrease in respiratory rate, Heart rate and Blood pressure.


When there is increased resistance then arteriolar constriction and pressure drops?

Resistance changes dramatically with changes in diameter of blood vessels (arterioles are one type of blood vessel). If you INCREASE the diameter of the arteriole, you DECREASE the resistance and thus DECREASE the blood pressure.
