i) TPR is adjusted through intrinsic and extrinsic physiological responses that affect arteriolar resistance. The intrinsic controls include chemical and physical influences. The relative input of a various local metabolites is coordinated to control arterial blood flow; vasodilation results from chemical factors such as decreased oxygen‚ increased carbon dioxide and increased potassium. Another local chemical mediator is histamine‚ which is released during injury or allergic reactions
