Question
Chapter 25, Problem 20CP
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The effect of peripheral vasoconstriction on a hot day on the temperature of the individual’s body.
Introduction:
Vasoconstriction is the constriction of blood vessels due to neural influence. It is guarded by the brain; it results in the increase in the blood pressure of a person. In this there is a decrease in the flow of blood or ceasing of the flow of blood.

Which event will result to generalized vasoconstriction?
a decrease in sympathetic nervous system firing
a decrease in sympathetic nervous system firing
a decrease in parasympathetic nervous system firing
a decrease in parasympathetic nervous system firing
an increase in parasympathetic nervous system firing
an increase in parasympathetic nervous system firing
an increase in sympathetic nervous system firing

What does the body do to bring CO back up if it drops too low? Give examples of immediate, short-term, and long-term responses. Skin that is pale, bluish, or ashen, a fast heart rate, cold, clammy hands and feet, feeling lightheaded, and/or losing consciousness are all signs of shock. Connect these symptoms to the body's compensation.
Explain why orthostatic (postural) hypotension may occurwith vasodilator drugs.
