In the adult animal, the physiology of blood vessels is predominantly associated with the maintenance of [[Control of Blood Pressure & Blood Flow - Anatomy & Physiology|blood pressure and blood flow]]. Arterial blood pressure is created by the combined forces and complex interactions of cardiac output, systemic vascular resistance (resistance produced mainly in the arterioles), and viscosity of the blood. In summary, Blood Pressure (BP) = Cardiac Output (CO) x Systemic Vascular Resistance (SVR).
