Blood pressure results from the force of blood fluids pressing against the walls of blood vessels. Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is often caused by a constriction of the blood vessels by fatty deposits in artery walls. However, another cause of high blood pressure can be the intake of too much sodium in foods and table salt.
Why would too much salt intake cause someone to develop high blood pressure?
A) Salt in the bloodstream causes fluids to enter the blood from surrounding cells, due to osmosis.
B) Salt in the bloodstream causes fluids in the blood to leave and go to surrounding cells, due to osmosis.
C) People that take in too much salt will drink more water to balance out the salt, which raises blood pressure.
D) Extra salt solidifies in the bloodstream and blocks the blood vessels, causing them to narrow, and blood pressure to go up.

The right answer is A) Salt in the bloodstream causes fluids to enter the blood from surrounding cells, due to osmosis.

The circulatory system of the body is a highly flexible vascular system, which has the ability to open and distend new capillaries and veins in order to cope with an increase in fluid volume.

The term "Higher blood pressure" implies that an excess of salt leads to the retention of additional fluid within the arterial circulatory system, which would cause an increase in blood volume and add pressure to the walls. arteries.
