Question
constriction and dilation of smooth muscle in ____________ is used to control blood pressure. enter answer
Brief Explanations
The smooth muscle in arterioles can constrict (narrow) or dilate (widen). When arterioles constrict, the resistance to blood flow increases, which raises blood pressure. When they dilate, the resistance decreases, and blood pressure lowers. This is a key mechanism in regulating blood pressure.
