In anatomical terms, proximal refers to a location towards the center of the body, while distal refers to a location away from the center of the body. Using these terms, what effect will wrapping a tight band around the arm for a period of time have on blood flow?

It will increase blood pressure both proximal and distal to the band.

It will increase blood pressure proximally from the band.

It will decrease blood pressure both proximal and distal to the band.

It will decrease blood pressure proximally from the band.
