Which type of blood vessel is most important for determining

Which type of blood vessel is most important for determining peripheral p resistance and why? What is atherosclerosis and why does it lead to unwanted problems in the body? How does it lead to high blood pressure?

Solution

The blood vessel important for determing peripheral resistance is Artariole.

The diameter of artariole is small.It is the narrower blood vessel.As a result, when blood tend to move through it; friction is generated( between blood cells and between blood cells and wall of artarioles.)So the blood vessels with narrower diameter contribute to peripheral resistance most.
