What else can I help you with?
What regulatory mechanisms would occur in response to a sudden increase in blood pressure?
Sudden vasodilation
What does vasodilation in the skin and viscera result from?
Vasodilation in the skin and viscera results from the relaxation of smooth muscle cells in blood vessels. This relaxation causes the blood vessels to widen, increasing blood flow to the skin and internal organs. Vasodilation helps regulate body temperature and can occur in response to various stimuli like heat, exercise, or injury.
What causes vaodilation?
Corticotrpin is the harmone which increases vasodilation in our body. alcohol causes vasodilation
Does sympathetic activity cause vasodilation?
No, sympathetic activity typically causes vasoconstriction, not vasodilation.
Where in the body would you find low oxygen levels causing vasoconstriction and high levels causing vasodilation?
Low oxygen levels causing vasoconstriction would typically occur in the pulmonary circulation, where the body constricts blood vessels in response to low oxygen levels (hypoxia) to redirect blood flow to well-ventilated areas of the lungs. High oxygen levels causing vasodilation can occur in systemic circulation, where increased oxygen levels trigger blood vessel relaxation to optimize oxygen delivery to tissues.
What reduces cardiac afterload?
vasodilation, anemia, cirrhosis, shock states (results in massive vasodilation)
How do you describe a vasodilation mean?
Vasodilation means the widening of blood vessels that results from relaxation of the muscular walls of the vessels.
When is vasodilation bad?
Never. Unless you're bleeding, but if you're bleeding the body will undergo vasoconstriction not vasodilation so the answer is never.
What promotes vasodilation?
Nitric Oxide
What are the symptoms of vasodilation?
Vasodilation is the widening of the blood vessels. The common symptoms are low blood pressure, dizziness, flushing, and light headedness.
What health system is for migraine headache?
Migraine is a neurological disease of the brain, therefore the body system associated with it is neurological. The vasodilation theory was disproven years ago when it was found that Migraine can occur without it.
Why does vasodilation and vasoconstriction happen in a cycle?
Vasodilation and vasoconstriction occur in a cycle to regulate blood flow and maintain homeostasis in the body. Vasodilation refers to the widening of blood vessels, which allows for increased blood flow and delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues. Vasoconstriction, on the other hand, is the narrowing of blood vessels, which reduces blood flow and conserves heat and nutrients. These processes are dynamically regulated based on various factors such as tissue oxygen levels, metabolic demands, and body temperature.
