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.


Vasodilation and vasoconstriction are controlled by what region of the body?

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.


What is the importance of negative feedback in the control of vasodilation and vasoconstriction?

Vasoconstriction and Vasodilation are a part of a body negative feedback, in which the body tries to restore homeostasis. Homeostatis is the function of keeping the internal body at it's general temperature (37 degrees Celsius). Without the negative feedback of Vasoconstriction and Vasodilation, the body would either be at a very low or very high temperature and this high/low temperature could cause death.


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.


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.

Why do two processes happen in a cycle pattern instead of vasoconstriction only?

Vasoconstriction is trying to make you warm, but Vasodilation tries to cool you down. These two happen in a cycle pattern so that not all your blood is going to your skin or away from the skin. Vasodilation will be making you sweat, use the toliet and produce saliva more while Vasoconstriction will be contracting your muscles to make the hairs on your arms and legs stand up on end also producing goose bumps to try to warm you up.


Does sympathetic activity cause vasodilation?

No, sympathetic activity typically causes vasoconstriction, not vasodilation.


Differences between vasodilation and vasoconstriction?

Vasodilation is relaxation of blood vessels leading to increase in lumen size. Vasoconstriction is contraction of blood vessels leading to decrease in lumen size.


What does vasoconstriction and vasodilation mean?

Vasoconstriction means the constriction of blood vessels.Vasodilation means there is more banter swag in the penis


Do veins have the ability to go through vasoconstriction and vasodilation?

Yes, the veins have the ability to go through the vasoconstriction and vasodilation. This also applies to the other elastic tubular channels like the capillary and the arteries.


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.


How does sympathetic vasoconstriction or vasodilation affect blood flow in the body?

Sympathetic vasoconstriction decreases blood flow by narrowing blood vessels, while sympathetic vasodilation increases blood flow by widening blood vessels.


Does the sympathetic nervous system primarily cause vasodilation or vasoconstriction in the body?

The sympathetic nervous system primarily causes vasoconstriction in the body.

Why transient vasoconstriction happen in acute inflammation?

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.


What are the effectors that cause vasodilation and vasoconstriction?

Vasodilation is primarily caused by factors like nitric oxide, prostaglandins, and certain medications like calcium channel blockers. On the other hand, vasoconstriction is mainly brought about by substances such as endothelin, angiotensin II, and sympathetic nervous system activation through norepinephrine release.


How does the sympathetic nervous system regulate blood flow through the process of vasodilation or vasoconstriction?

The sympathetic nervous system regulates blood flow by causing either vasodilation (widening of blood vessels) or vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels). When activated, the sympathetic nervous system releases norepinephrine, which binds to receptors on blood vessels. This can either relax the smooth muscle in the vessel walls, causing vasodilation and increased blood flow, or contract the smooth muscle, leading to vasoconstriction and decreased blood flow.
