Final answer:

True. Only a small change in blood vessel radius dramatically alters blood flow.

Step-by-step explanation:

True. Only a small change in blood vessel radius dramatically alters blood flow. This is because blood vessels are elastic and adjustments to blood flow are primarily made by varying the size of the vessels. The resistance to blood flow is highly sensitive to the radius of the vessel, so even a small change can have a significant impact on blood flow.
