Question 1

does vasoconstriction cause ed?

Accepted Answer

Not likely . . .: We/i think of vasoconstriction as temporary, rather than somewhat permanent. Erectile dysfunction is due to inadequate blood flow into the penis which can be due to plaque buildup from excess cholesterol as you've noted. Studies show that successful efforts at lowering heart disease risk also improve ed. Ps once blood gets into penis, you need vasoconstriction of venous return to stay erect.

Question 2

how do you get  vasoconstriction?

Accepted Answer

Vasoconstriction: Vasoconstriction is a phenomenon where in the blood vessels constrict in response to various physiological or pathological factors. Constriction  of vessel  results in lesser blood flow and increases the blood pressure. It may occur in acute blood loss,  cold environment, sepsis, septic shock,  etc.

Question 3

what is the definition or description of: vasoconstriction?

Accepted Answer

See below: Vasoconstriction is the narrowing of the blood vessels resulting from contraction of the muscular wall of the vessels, particularly the large arteries and small arterioles. The process is the opposite of vasodilation, the widening of blood vessels. The process is particularly important in staunching hemorrhage and acute blood loss.

Question 4

please explain why vasoconstriction happens in hypoxia?

Accepted Answer

Not whole body: In fact more parts of the body will have vasodilation, as in organs and muscles you then resort to anaerobic respirations which causes Lactic Acid production and causes vasodilation. The skin on the other hand thee may be vasoconstriction to preserve the flow of oxygen to the essential organs.

Question 5

what is  vasoconstriction? what is the real cause of it and how to avoid from getting it?

Accepted Answer

Blood vessel narrowi: Vasoconstriction refers to periodic narrowing of arteries. This is most commonly precipitated by cold weather, dehydration, certain medications,  caffeine and some disease conditions. It is generally a reflexive response of arteries to cold weather etc.

Question 6

Question 7

Question 8

is vasoconstriction caused by adderall temporary or permanent?

Accepted Answer

Temporary: Adderall is cleared quickly by the body and the vasoconstriction would resolve after clearance. Continued administration of the medication will likely result in the body adjusting so that the affect will not continue to occur. If it does then an alternative medication must be considered. Best regards.

Question 9

nicotine induced vasoconstriction--can it lead to permanent constriction of vains.?

Accepted Answer

Arteries, not veins: Thromboangiitis obliterans

buerger's disease is a rare disorder associated with heavy smoking.

Question 10

how does vasoconstriction effect heart rate?

Accepted Answer

Epinephrine: Complex interaction.  If you were to assume that vessels and heart were entirely independent, you might postulate that heart rate could slow down after vasoconstriction since there is less tubing to pump through.  But the chemicals that mediate vasoconstriction also mediate heart rate and force of contraction so that they usually rise in parallel.
