If one arteriole constricts and nothing else changes, what will happen to mean arterial pressure (map)?

Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) is the average BP in the arterial system, a weighted mean that helps measure profusion of O2 to or gas. If one arteriole constricts and nothing else changes, then the MAP would tend to increase. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
