Summary Introduction

To list: The three paracrine molecules that leads to vasodilation along with their source.

Introduction: The smooth muscles present in blood vessels are known as vascular smooth muscles. These muscles are arranged in a circular or spiral manner inside the vessels. The narrowing of the lumen of vessels is termed as vasoconstriction. On the contrary, widening of lumen of vessels is termed as vasodilation.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The two ways except for paracrine signals which mediate the smooth muscle contraction in arterioles.

Introduction: Vasoconstriction decreases the amount of blood, which flows to a particular part of the body, whereas vasodilation increases the amount of blood which flows. On the contrary, the pressure of blood increases in vasoconstriction and decreases in vasodilation.

Name four hormones that cause vasodilation or vasoconstriction ofarterioles, and specify their effects?
Leukotrienes from damaged tissue cause smooth muscle in local blood vessels to vasodilate (increase the diameter of the vessel lumen). Is this an example of (a) autocrine stimulation or (b) paracrine stimulation? Explain.
