An increase in arteriolar resistance, without a change in any other component of the cardiovascular system, will produce
ExplanationAn increase in arteriolar resistance will increase total peripheral resistance (TPR). Arterial pressure : cardiac output × TPR, so arterial pressure will also increase. Capillary filtration decreases when there is arteriolar constriction because Pc decreases. The afterload of the heart would be increased by an increase in TPR.
