Options for the question have not been given. They are as follows:
blood vessel length
blood viscosity
blood vessel diameter
blood colloid osmotic pressure
Answer:
blood colloid osmotic pressure
Explanation:
- Peripheral resistance is the resistance to blood flow by blood vessels.
- It is directly proportional to blood vessel length as more the distance to travel, more will be the resistance.
- It is also directly proportional to blood viscosity as more energy is required to push viscous material.
- It is indirectly proportional to blood vessel diameter. More the diameter of the vessel, easier it is for the blood to pass.
- However, it does not depend on blood colloid osmotic pressure. Colloid osmotic pressure is created by the protein components of blood and they do not have any direct impact on blood flow.
