Under what conditions will the myogenic mechanism slow blood flow into a capillary bed?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The myogenic mechanism responds to changes in arterial blood pressure to maintain a relatively constant blood flow. When arteriolar pressure rises, the arterioles automatically constrict to reduce blood flow into the capillary bed, thus slowing the flow. This is a protective response to prevent damage to the capillaries and to ensure proper tissue perfusion.
