What are two body organs in which vasoconstriction rarely occurs are the heart and the?
Kidneys
What organs that vasoconstriction rarely occurs?
Vasoconstriction rarely occurs in the brain and the adrenal medulla. This is because maintaining consistent blood flow in the brain is essential for proper function, while the adrenal medulla relies on high blood flow to release hormones into the bloodstream efficiently.
Contraction of a vessel is called?
Vasoconstriction
What is the first phase of hemostasis in which vasoconstriction occurs?
The first phase of hemostasis is vasoconstriction, which is the narrowing of blood vessels to reduce blood flow to the injured area. This helps to limit blood loss and initiates the process of forming a blood clot.
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.

Why transient vasoconstriction happen in acute inflammation?
Transient vasoconstriction occurs immediately after injury followed by vasodilation. The vasoconstricion is the bodies defence against blood loss, but after this threat is passed the chemical mediators signal the vessles to dilate to allow platlets to get to the area via blood so that a clot can form. the acute inflammation occurs after the vasoconstriction, and with the vasodilation because the blood vessles also become more permeable allowing more fluid into the surrounding area. Increased fluid = inflammation.
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.
How does vasoconstriction and vasodilation of blood vessels effect blood pressure?
No. Vasoconstriction is a squeezing of the veins. This is like putting your thumb at the end of a garden hose. The constriction of the flow increases the pressure. The water shoots out faster from the hose when your thumb is blocking the way. If the entire hose were to tighten, as in vasoconstriction, the same effect happens.--From Wikipedia: Vasoconstriction"Generalized vasoconstriction usually results in an increase in systemic blood pressure..."
How would you explain what vasoconstriction mean?
Vasoconstriction is the narrowing of blood vessels.
When does vasoconstriction take place?
Vasoconstriction typically occurs in response to various stimuli such as cold temperatures, stress, or the release of certain hormones like adrenaline. It causes the blood vessels to narrow, leading to increased blood pressure and reduced blood flow to certain areas of the body.
Can viral meningitis cause your legs to become numb and weak?
Yes, generalized body weakness can occurs with viral meningitis.
