Decreased aortic compliance means (pick one and explain): 1) decreased stiffness

Question

Decreased aortic compliance means (pick one and explain): 1) decreased stiffness, resulting in increased resistance; 2) increased change in cross-sectional area for a given pressure increase; 3) increased stiffness, resulting in increased mean aortic pressure for the same cardiac output; 4) increased stiffness, resulting in a decrease in mean aortic pressure for the same cardiac output; or 5) decreased stiffness, resulting in a decrease in mean aortic pressure. (B) Systemic vascular resistance is most influenced by (pick one and explain): 1) radius of the aorta; 2) radius of the medium-sized arteries; 3) blood viscosity; 4) percentage of patent (open) capillaries; or 5) radius of the arterioles.
