ADH does not exactly cause the vasoconstriction but increases the peripheral vascular resistancewhich results increases of arterial blood pressure

What are three hormones that produce vasoconstriction?
norepinephrine, epinephrine and angiotensin II
Does heat cause vasoconstriction?
Yes
What is the most common cause of prolonged vasoconstriction in the kidney?
High blood pressure is the most common cause of prolonged vasoconstriction in the kidney.
Does heat therapy cause vasoconstriction?
Yes
Are drugs that cause vasoconstriction stimulant or depressants?
I believe they are stimulants due to the fact that cocaine is a stimulant and it causes vasoconstriction.
What conditions cause proteinuria?
Deficiency of adh
What are the effectors that cause vasodilation and vasoconstriction?
Muscles in the blood vessels are the effectors that cause Vasodilation and Vasiconstriction.
What disease can result from antidiuretic hormone deficiency?
Low levels of ADH can cause excessive urination (polyuria) followed by extreme thirst (polydipsia). A rare water metabolism disorder, called central diabetes insipidus, is sometimes the cause of ADH deficiency but low ADH doesn't not cause diabetes insipidus.
The hypoxia associated with high altitude can cause?
vasoconstriction of the pulmonary blood vessels
What triggers ADH?
the high osmolarity of blood acts upon the osmoreceptor of hypothalmus cause the release of adh low plasma volume increase plasma cholecystokinin
When ADH is produced what happens?
If there is too little water in the blood, the hypothalamus will detect this and more ADH (Anti-Diuretic Hormone) will be produced. The increase in ADH will cause an increase in the permeability of the collecting duct in the kidney and so more water is reabsorbed into the blood. :)
Why hypertension is related to atherosclerosis?
Atherosclerosis can cause hypertension because it narrows the blood vessels (similar to vasoconstriction). Vasoconstriction can cause hypertension because it increases pressure and force in the vessels.
