Test your knowledge of the various neural, hormonal, and local control factors that affect systemic arteriole radius by classifying the following factors as causing vasoconstriction or vasodilation.
Adi S.
During the fight-or-flight response, (serotonin? acetylcholine? epinephrine? norepinephrine?) is released from the adrenal medulla and binds to (M1? M2? alpha1? alpha2? beta?) receptors, found on the vascular smooth muscle of the heart, liver, and skeletal muscle arterioles, and results in (increased? decreased?) blood flow to these organs; the same hormone binds to (M1? M2? alpha1? alpha2? beta?) receptors on other tissues, causing (increased? decreased?) blood flow to these organs.

If a person is given an experimental drug, which response would indicate that this drug is a norepinephrine/epinephrine agonist? - decreased blood pressure - pupil constriction - constriction of respiratory airways - high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) - decreased heart rate
