What else can I help you with?
Blood vessels help regulate your body's temperature when it's hot your blood vessels do what to increase blood flow and release heat?
Blood vessels dialate (open more) and the heart rate increases to dissipate body heat. In cold temps such as hypothermia, the blood vessels constrict and the heart rate lowers. Extremehypothermia or hyperthermia are both life-threatening.
When will the blood vessels of the skin constrict?
The blood vessels of the skin will constrict in response to cold temperatures or stress, in order to conserve heat and maintain blood pressure.
How does the circlutory system keep you cool?
When your body temperature is high, yourperipheral blood vessels dialate. This causes them to be closer to the surface of the body - thus releasing heat. When the body is too cold they constrict, keeping all of the heat in.
Do blood vessels constrict when heat is applied to the skin?
Yes
Do blood vessels constrict or expand when a person overheats?

What nervous system signals blood vessels to constrict?

Does blood vessels constrict in actively contracting muscles?

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.
What make blood vessels constrict and dilate?
Nothing, blood vessels are nothing because they wont harm you or anything like that.
What happens when blood vessels constrict?
The temperature of the body decreasesThe blood pressure lowers with individual variations on the the systolic and diastolic measures. Also, the body temperature is modified. There is a difference between dilatation of large vessels like arteries and peripheral circulation which is constituted of small blood vessels or capillaries. (also in the brain)
What chemical cause blood vessels to constrict?
Two examples are histamines and amphetamines.
Does oxygen dilate blood vessels?
No, oxygen does not dilate blood vessels. In fact, oxygen has a vasoconstrictive effect, which means it causes blood vessels to constrict or narrow. This helps regulate blood flow and pressure in the body.
