Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Active hyperaemia is the phenomenon in which an increase in metabolic activity of an organ or tissue leads to an increase in blood flow to that organ or tissue. This is a normal response to increased demand for oxygen and nutrients. Pressure autoregulation refers to the ability of blood vessels to maintain a constant blood flow despite changes in blood pressure. Tissue anoxia is a condition characterized by a lack of oxygen supply to tissues. Hypertension refers to high blood pressure which is not necessarily related to changes in metabolic activity of an organ or tissue.
