what happens to pressure when resistance is increased and also what happens to flow?

  #2

flow = change in pressure /resistance

if resistance is increased flow will decrease

if r is inc, and flow remains the same, pressure will increase


  #3

P=Q*R

to maintain P, Flow will decrease. But if flow is kept constant then the pressure upstream from the point of resistance will be increased and the pressure downstream will be decreased. thts my very simple explanation.
lets see wht the others hv to say.

what others say when drk talks?grin you are always right. i go with you

they say that to keep vessels distended more pressure is required.so the vessel has less resistance then?

  #6

no. "to keep vessels open" itself says that the vessels are tending to collapse.that is high resistance
