Describe the action of any two local controls on blood vessel diameter.
Adi S.
Check all statements that are correct about the nervous system control of blood flow. An increase in vasomotor tone causes blood vessels to constrict further and blood pressure to increase. A decrease in vasomotor tone causes blood vessels to dilate and blood pressure to decrease. Nervous control of blood vessels causes blood to be shunted from one large area of the body to another. In skeletal and cardiac muscle tissue, epinephrine and norepinephrine released by the sympathetic nervous system cause the blood vessels to constrict, decreasing blood flow.

A hormone stimulates the smooth muscle of a blood vessel to contract. Although the hormone causes a small change in membranepotential, the smooth muscle contracts substantially. Explain.
