A vessel that requires minimal work to dilate to receive an increased volume of blood,resulting in systolic pressure,is said to have increased:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Compliance refers to the ability of the vessel wall to stretch or distend in response to the pressure of the blood volume. Increased compliance means that the vessel can easily expand to accommodate an increased volume of blood with minimal changes in pressure, leading to increased systolic pressure. Preload refers to the amount of blood in the ventricles at the end of diastole, perfusion refers to the blood flow and delivery of oxygen to tissues, and resistance refers to the opposition to blood flow offered by the vessels.
