Decreased vessel diameter (vasoconstriction) will result in decreased blood flow to a tissue, while all the other changes listed will result in increased blood flow. Increased blood volume will increase blood flow by increasing the pressure in the system. Increased blood pressure will increase blood flow by increasing the force pushing blood through the vessels. Decreased peripheral resistance will decrease the resistance to blood flow offered by the vessels. Relaxation of precapillary sphincters will increase blood flow by allowing more blood into the capillary beds of the tissue.
