What else can I help you with?
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.
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
Does the sympathetic nervous system primarily cause vasodilation or vasoconstriction in the body?
The sympathetic nervous system primarily causes vasoconstriction in the body.
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.
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.
Does sympathetic activity cause vasodilation?
No, sympathetic activity typically causes vasoconstriction, not vasodilation.
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
Where in the body would you find low oxygen levels cause vasoconstriction?
Low oxygen levels cause vasoconstriction in the pulmonary arteries of the lungs. This response helps redirect blood flow to better oxygenated areas of the lungs for efficient gas exchange.
Contraction of a vessel is called?
Vasoconstriction
