What else can I help you with?
What is the medical term meaning numbness in the fingers and toes resulting from intermittent constriction of arterioles in the skin?
Raynaud's phenomenon is numbness in the digits due to constriction of arterioles in the skin.
Abnormality that refers to the intermittent ischemic attacks that affect arterioles of the skin?
K
What is the purpose of the arterioles and capillaries in the skin in relation heat?
so that our poo has better texture
What happens to arterioles when the body temperature falls?
When the body temperature falls, arterioles constrict in order to reduce blood flow to the skin and maintain body heat. This vasoconstriction helps to conserve warmth by directing more blood flow to vital organs and minimizing heat loss through the skin.
During fight or flight reaction the sympathetic nervous system causes vasodilation in skeletal muscle but vasoconstriction in the skin It is able to achieve these opposite effects because?
the muscle arterioles have α-adrenergic receptors and the skin arterioles have β-adrenergic receptors
What is true about the blood supply to the skin?
The blood supply to the skin comes from small vessels called arterioles that branch off from larger arteries. These arterioles deliver oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells and help regulate body temperature. The skin's blood supply is also important for wound healing and immune response.
What are skin capillaries?
any of the fine branching blood vessels that form a network between the arterioles and venules.
What will happen if the sphincter muscles of the arterioles to the skin constrict?
there are a lots of reasons.. the most common one would be cold. when your body temperature decreases it causes the arterioles under the skin to constrict which results in decrease in heat loss from the body. the other reasons would be neurogenic vasoconstriction during minor trauma to skin, and many more less common causes.
What blood vessel connects arteries to capillaries?
Arterioles.
What are cardiovascular adadptions?
incorporations of father arterioles by daughter arterioles
How did you distinguish between arterioles and venules when you observed the vessels in the frog's foot?
Arterioles are smaller vessels that carry blood away from the heart, while venules are smaller vessels that carry blood back to the heart. By observing the direction of blood flow and the presence of valves (which venules have), one can distinguish between arterioles and venules in the frog's foot vasculature.
Does sympathetic stimulation cause vasodilation of which arterioles?
Sympathetic stimulation causes vasoconstriction of most arterioles in the body, except for arterioles in skeletal muscle and the heart where it causes vasodilation.
