When there is increased resistance then arteriolar constriction and pressure drops?
The correct answer is "increases"
Explanation:
When there is increased resistance, the arterioles constrict, which causes the pressure to increase, not drop. This is because the constriction of the arterioles makes it more difficult for the blood to flow through them, which causes the pressure to build up behind them.
