What Regulates vasoconstriction?
Vasoconstriction is regulated by the autonomic nervous system and various vasoactive substances including norepinephrine, angiotensin II, and endothelin. These substances act on smooth muscle cells in blood vessel walls to cause contraction, leading to vasoconstriction.
Which part of brain control vasoconstriction?
The brainstem, specifically the medulla oblongata, regulates vasoconstriction through the autonomic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for increasing blood vessel tone through the release of norepinephrine, leading to vasoconstriction.
In which organ hypoxia cause vasoconstriction and what is the mechanism?
Hypoxia in the lungs causes vasoconstriction due to the release of hypoxic vasoconstrictor substances like endothelin-1 and serotonin in response to low oxygen levels. This vasoconstriction helps redirect blood flow to well-ventilated areas of the lungs, optimizing gas exchange.
What temperature produce vasoconstriction at humans?
Vasoconstriction in humans typically occurs at lower temperatures, around 15-20 degrees Celsius (59-68 degrees Fahrenheit). The body constricts blood vessels to reduce blood flow to the skin in order to conserve heat and maintain core body temperature.
What are three hormones that produce vasoconstriction?
norepinephrine, epinephrine and angiotensin II
Contraction of a vessel is called?
Vasoconstriction
When attempting to lower a person and body temperature in response to hyperthermia one should avoid treatments that induce shivering or vasoconstriction. Why?
Shivering produces heat and vasoconstriction reduces the ability of blood to dump its heat load to the skin's surface where cooling occurs.

How would you explain what vasoconstriction mean?
Vasoconstriction is the narrowing of blood vessels.
What are the two processes in a cycle pattern rather than vasoconstriction happening?
vasoconstriction and vasolidation
What is vasoconstriction?
Vasoconstriction is the constriction or narrowing of blood vessels by small muscles in their walls, slowing or blocking blood flow. Vasoconstriction is the constriction of blood vessels that increases blood pressure.
What is the medical term meaning constriction of blood vessels?
Vasoconstriction is the normal narrowing of a blood vessel.
Is vasoconstriction controlled by the sympathetic or parasympathetic nervous system?
Vasoconstriction is primarily controlled by the sympathetic nervous system.
What is the opposite of vasoconstriction?
Vasodilationvasodilation
Who can unscramble this wordCritsovonnastico?
vasoconstriction
Is pseudoephedrine an alpha adrenergic?
Yes it is. Its principal mechanism of action relies on its indirect action on the adrenergic receptor system. The vasoconstriction that pseudoephedrine produces is believed to be principally an α-adrenergic receptor response.
What does vasoconstriction and vasodilation mean?
Vasoconstriction means the constriction of blood vessels.Vasodilation means there is more banter swag in the penis
