The greater the compliance the

A) greater the resistance generated in the vessel.
B) more easily the vessel wall stretches.
C) longer the blood vessel will measure.
D) higher the blood pressure will be.
E) less the elasticity of the vessel.

Compliance

In a medical context, compliance refers to the ability of blood vessels or other tubular organs to expand in response to increased pressure or volume, reflecting their elasticity.

Resistance

The opposition to flow, whether referring to electrical circuits, fluid dynamics, or antibiotic resistance in microbes.

Vessel Wall

The structure surrounding blood vessels consisting of layers that include the endothelium, smooth muscle, and connective tissue, providing stability and controlling vessel diameter.
