Question:

What happens when blood flow is cut off to the limb and when it returns

Author: Lapras Fan



Answer:

When there is no blood flow, metabolites accumulate, so arterioles dilate maximally When flow is returned, resistance is very low so flow is very high but high flow washes away the metabolites and so smooth muscle constricts again
