What else can I help you with?
Does histamine cause blood vessels to contract?
No it causes them to dilate (vasodilation)
What blocks the enzyme action that causes the blood vessels to contract resulting in hypertention?
ACE inhibtors
Does cocain make the blood vessels in your brain contract or expand?
Blood vessels in the brain of a cocaine user will narrow so that means the vessels contract.
Is benicar a diuretic?
Benicar is a Angiotensin Receptor Blocker (ARBs) not a diuretic. Angiotensin causes the muscles surrounding blood vessels to contract, thereby narrowing the blood vessels. Narrowing of blood vessels increases the pressure within the blood vessels and may lead to high blood pressure (hypertension). For the treatment of hypertension.
Do you apply heat or ice on something swollen?
Ice - it causes tissues and blood vessels to contract - thus reducing swelling.
The force with which the contract causes blood pressure?
the force with which what the contract causes blood pressure
How does the sympathetic nervous system regulate vasoconstriction in the body?
The sympathetic nervous system regulates vasoconstriction in the body by releasing the neurotransmitter norepinephrine, which binds to alpha-adrenergic receptors on blood vessels. This causes the smooth muscle in the blood vessels to contract, narrowing the vessels and increasing blood pressure.
Does Nicotine contract blood vessels?
True
What is the highest pressure against the blood vessels and also occurs when the ventricles contract?
The highest pressure against the blood vessels is Systolic Pressure, and it occurs when the ventricles contract.
Blocks the action of the enzyme that causes the blood vessels to contract resulting in hypertension?
ACE inhibitor
What is the effect of histamine on small as well as large blood vessels?
Histamine causes the dilation of the small blood vessels while constrict the large blood vessels.
How come smoking elevates blood pressure?
It causes the blood vessels to contract (become smaller in diameter) and less flexible. It also speeds the heartbeat by reducing the amount of oxygen in the blood and forcing it to work harder.
