Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stress typically causes arousal of the sympathetic nervous system, elevated blood pressure, and can contribute to damaged blood vessels that accumulate plaque, but it does not directly cause an increase in blood flow through the arteries. In fact, stress can lead to constriction of blood vessels, which might reduce blood flow in certain circumstances.
