rasoconstriction?
Expert Solution

Step 1
Viscosity is the resistance that occurs in a fluid due to relative motion in any portion of the fluid. It is also the resistance to a change in shape or size.
Peripheral resistance is also a kind of viscosity that occurs between the walls of the vessels and the fluid. It also occurs between the molecules of the fluid itself.
