Question
Chapter 14, Problem 19RA
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The paracrine regulator that stimulates vasoconstriction.
Introduction:
Vasoconstriction reduces the volume or space inside the blood vessel, which, in turn, results in the low volume of blood flow through the vessels and also reduces the pressure. Resistance to blood flow also gets reduced, which contributes to the increase in the blood pressure.
