What else can I help you with?
What are found in the CNS and act as the glue that binds axons and blood vessels to each other?
Astrocytes (glial cells hence the glue)
Which best describes the components of a nerve?
axons, blood vessels, connective tissue, Schwann cell.
Which bestdescribes thecomponents ofa nerve?
axons, blood vessels, connective tissue, Schwann cell.
What axons are bundled together with blood cells and connected tissue?
The axons that are bundled together with blood cells and connective tissue are primarily those of the peripheral nervous system, specifically the axons of peripheral nerves. These axons are surrounded by a protective sheath called the endoneurium and are grouped into fascicles, which are then enveloped by the perineurium. These structures are often found in close proximity to blood vessels, which supply nutrients and oxygen to the nerve tissue, highlighting the interdependence of neural and vascular components in the peripheral nervous system.
What supplies oxygen to the cells of blood vessels?
Red blood cells supply oxygen to the cells of blood vessels through the hemoglobin protein. Hemoglobin binds to oxygen in the lungs and releases it to the cells as blood circulates throughout the body.
How does sympathetic activation affect the constriction of blood vessels?
Sympathetic activation causes blood vessels to constrict by releasing a neurotransmitter called norepinephrine, which binds to receptors on the smooth muscle cells of the blood vessels. This binding triggers a series of events that ultimately lead to the contraction of the smooth muscle, resulting in the narrowing of the blood vessels.
How do the heart blood vessels and blood work together?
cuz it does
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.
How does the sympathetic nervous system contribute to vasodilation in the body?
The sympathetic nervous system triggers the release of a chemical called norepinephrine, which binds to receptors on blood vessels. This binding causes the smooth muscle in the blood vessels to relax, leading to vasodilation, or the widening of the blood vessels. This allows for increased blood flow and helps regulate blood pressure and circulation in the body.
What is the function of optic disk?
It's the place in the eye where axons exit the eye to form the optic nerve, and where blood vessels enter to nourish the retina.
What are the characteristics of capillaries?
They connect blood vessels together! :D
What does the cardiovascular sistem do?
The term cardiovascular means the heart and the blood vessels; together these make the blood circulate.
