Peripheral vasoconstriction is the tightening of the blood vessels, particularly the arteries. It is caused by smoking, drinking alcohol and coffee, as well as the intake of medicine such as antihistamine.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Vasoconstriction
Shivering produces heat and vasoconstriction reduces the ability of blood to dump its heat load to the skin's surface where cooling occurs.

Vasoconstriction is the narrowing of blood vessels.
vasoconstriction and vasolidation
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.
Vasoconstriction is the normal narrowing of a blood vessel.
Vasoconstriction is primarily controlled by the sympathetic nervous system.

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.
