Increased sympathetic tone leads to the release of norepinephrine, which binds to alpha-1 adrenergic receptors on arteriolar smooth muscle. This binding initiates a signaling cascade that ultimately results in the relaxation of the smooth muscle, causing the arterioles to dilate.
What else can I help you with?
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.
What effect does sympathetic stimulation have on the afferent arterioles?
Sympathetic stimulation causes vasoconstriction of the afferent arterioles in the kidneys. This response reduces blood flow into the glomeruli, which can decrease glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The effect is part of the body's mechanism to prioritize blood flow to vital organs during stress or low blood volume situations. Ultimately, this helps conserve water and maintain blood pressure.
Sympathetic nervous system stimulation causes what?
with stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system there will be a. constriction of the pupils b. dilation of the coronary arteries c. constriction of selected blood vessels d. profuse sweating
Dilation of the bronchial tubes is increased by the part of the autonomic nervous system called?
Dilation of the bronchial tubes is increased by the sympathetic nervous system. Specifically, the release of norepinephrine from sympathetic nerve endings causes relaxation of the smooth muscle in the bronchial tubes, leading to bronchodilation.
Does the sympathetic nervous system cause vasoconstriction?
Yep! The sympathetic nervous system causes both vasoconstriction & vasodilation. During "fight or flight" you need more O2/blood delivered to your skeletal muscles. The SNS causes vasodilation in skeletal muscles. The other organs, of the body (like digestive organs) are not needed for "fight or flight" survival. The SNS causes vasoconstriction in these organs.
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.

What releases when the sympathetic nervous system responds to a decrease in glomerular filtration rate?
Increased sympathetic activity causes the afferent arterioles of the renal glomerulus to constrict, thereby reducing blood flow into the glomerulus. Because a decrease in blood flow reduces blood pressure in the glomerulus, which is the driving force for filtration, GFR decreases.
Sympathetic nervous system stimulation causes what?
with stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system there will be a. constriction of the pupils b. dilation of the coronary arteries c. constriction of selected blood vessels d. profuse sweating
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
Sympathetic division stimulation causes?
Increased blood glucose, decreased GI peristalsis, and increased heart rate and blood pressure.
Dilation of the bronchial tubes is increased by the part of the autonomic nervous system called?
Dilation of the bronchial tubes is increased by the sympathetic nervous system. Specifically, the release of norepinephrine from sympathetic nerve endings causes relaxation of the smooth muscle in the bronchial tubes, leading to bronchodilation.
What causes arterioles in the damaged area to dilate during the inflammatory response?
The release of inflammatory mediators such as histamine, prostaglandins, and nitric oxide causes arterioles in the damaged area to dilate. This dilation increases blood flow to the damaged tissues, bringing in immune cells and nutrients to aid in the healing process.
What is the result of sympathetic stimulation on the trachea?
Sympathetic stimulation of the trachea causes the trachealis muscle to relax, giving the trachea a large cross-sectional area. This allows increased air flow because of the increased diameter and less resistance.
How does the synaptic nervous system affect the iris?
The iris is not innervated directly, however the iris sphincter muscle is affected by the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Sympathetic stimulation causes pupil dilation while parasympathetic nervous system causes pupil constriction. The parasympathetic response is quicker because of the proximity of a parasympathetic ganglion (ciliary ganglion) to the eye. The sympathetic response is slower because all sympathetic ganglia are confined to the spinal cord. This is the reason why people adjust faster to a bright shining light than darkness.
Does sympathetic activity cause vasodilation?
No, sympathetic activity typically causes vasoconstriction, not vasodilation.
Are nerves connected to the fight or flight response?
Yes, nerves are connected to the fight or flight response. The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for activating the fight or flight response in response to perceived threats. This system triggers the release of adrenaline and other stress hormones to prepare the body to either fight the threat or flee from it.
