  2. Vasodilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasodilation

    Other suggested vasodilators or vasodilating factors include: absence of high levels of environmental noise [30] adenosine - adenosine agonist, used primarily as an anti-arrhythmic [31] alpha blockers (block the vasoconstricting effect of adrenaline) [32] atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) - a weak vasodilator [33]

  3. Vasoconstriction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasoconstriction

    The mechanism that leads to vasoconstriction results from the increased concentration of calcium (Ca 2+ ions) within vascular smooth muscle cells. [2] However, the specific mechanisms for generating an increased intracellular concentration of calcium depends on the vasoconstrictor.

  4. Vascular resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_resistance

    Vascular resistance is the resistance that must be overcome for blood to flow through the circulatory system.The resistance offered by the systemic circulation is known as the systemic vascular resistance or may sometimes be called by another term total peripheral resistance, while the resistance caused by the pulmonary circulation is known as the pulmonary vascular resistance.

    The difference between the first and second visit is 15 mm Hg, and the difference between the second and third is of 10 mm Hg. The two differences are then averaged which gives a mean difference ...

  6. Local blood flow regulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_blood_flow_regulation

    Both of these factors affect pH and, in turn, the balance between vasodilation versus vasoconstriction in the brain. [3] [4] So, the blood vessels found specifically in the brain respond changes in dissolved carbon dioxide levels. Coronary (heart) circulation is controlled at the local level primarily by metabolic control mechanism. More ...

    A study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine used data from more than 22,000 people between 40 and 79 years old from the UK. These participants wore physical activity trackers for ...

  8. Compliance (physiology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compliance_(physiology)

    Vasoactivity can vary between persons because of genetic and epigenetic differences, and it can be impaired by pathosis and by age. This makes the topic of haemodynamic response (including vascular compliance and vascular resistance ) a matter of medical and pharmacologic complexity beyond mere hydraulic considerations (which are complex enough ...

    There’s a big difference between producing energy from fusion and having a practical system that puts power on the grid and is safe, licensed and operating, he added.
