		increases / less
		decreases / more
		decreases / less

ANSWER: increases / less

RATIONALE: vasoconstriction is the thickening or narrowing of the blood vessels. When it narrow the pressure in the blood vessels get increased.

so increased vasoconstriction will leads the veins to transfer less of blood to the heart and it fills the heart. Because due to the increased blood pr
