The heart and kidneys
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.
Vasoconstriction in humans typically occurs at lower temperatures, around 15-20 degrees Celsius (59-68 degrees Fahrenheit). The body constricts blood vessels to reduce blood flow to the skin in order to conserve heat and maintain core body temperature.
Vasodilation and vasoconstriction are primarily controlled by the autonomic nervous system, specifically through the actions of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. These systems regulate blood vessel diameter to help maintain blood pressure and distribute blood flow to various organs according to the body's needs.
Stimulation of alpha-1 receptors causes vasoconstriction, leading to an increase in blood pressure and pupil dilation. It can also result in smooth muscle contraction in organs such as the bladder and intestine.
Vasoconstriction is regulated by the autonomic nervous system and various vasoactive substances including norepinephrine, angiotensin II, and endothelin. These substances act on smooth muscle cells in blood vessel walls to cause contraction, leading to vasoconstriction.

Vasoconstriction
Peripheral vasoconstriction is the narrowing of blood vessels in the body's extremities, reducing blood flow to these areas. This helps to conserve heat by redirecting warm blood to the body's core organs, where it is needed the most for maintaining core temperature.
Yes, in immune compromised patients, chickenpox can rarely infect the internal organs.
The first phase of hemostasis is vasoconstriction, which is the narrowing of blood vessels to reduce blood flow to the injured area. This helps to limit blood loss and initiates the process of forming a blood clot.
Shivering produces heat and vasoconstriction reduces the ability of blood to dump its heat load to the skin's surface where cooling occurs.

stimulation rarely occurs.
Transient vasoconstriction occurs immediately after injury followed by vasodilation. The vasoconstricion is the bodies defence against blood loss, but after this threat is passed the chemical mediators signal the vessles to dilate to allow platlets to get to the area via blood so that a clot can form. the acute inflammation occurs after the vasoconstriction, and with the vasodilation because the blood vessles also become more permeable allowing more fluid into the surrounding area. Increased fluid = inflammation.
