- 1. 3 Layers in arterial walls (are also known as tunics): a. Tunica interna-innermost layer. Also known as the tunica intima. 1) Surrounds a central blood-containing space known as the lumen. 2) Lined with endothelium (simple squamous epithelium). This tissue. reduces friction as blood moves through the lumen. b. Tunica media-composed primarily of smooth muscle tissue and elastic tissue. 1) This smooth muscle is regulated by the autonomic nervous system. and various chemicals. 2) Vasoconstriction (reduction in lumen diameter due to smooth muscle. contraction) and Vasodilation (widening of the lumen due to smooth. muscle relaxation) both occur in the tunica media.

- Function of smooth muscles depends on the tissues where they are present.... In blood vessels, when the smooth muscles contract, they constrict the lumen of the blood vessels … (arteries) thus increasing the blood pressure, and when they relax, the lumen increases in diameter and thus brings down the blood pressure..

Vasodilation and Vasoconstriction: Reality Check Vasodilation and Vasoconstriction: Reality Check What is vasodilation? Definition of vasodilation. Vasodilation (definition) = the increase in the internal diameter of blood vessels that is caused by relaxation of smooth muscles within the wall of the vessels, thus causing an increase in blood flow. The opposite effect is vasoconstriction. During vasodilation, when blood vessels dilate, the blood flow is increased due to a decrease in vascular resistance.

Microcirculation Distension of the vessels due to increased blood pressure is a fundamental stimulus for muscle contraction in arteriolar walls. As a consequence, microcirculation blood flow remains constant despite of changes in systemic blood pressure. This mechanism is present in all tissues and organs of the human body.

Myogenic mechanism The smooth muscle of the blood vessels reacts to the stretching of the muscle by opening ion channels, which cause the muscle to depolarize, leading to muscle contraction. This significantly reduces the volume of blood able to pass through the lumen, which reduces blood flow through the blood vessel.he myogenic mechanism is how arteries and arterioles react to an increase or decrease of blood pressure to keep the blood flow within the blood vessel constant.

Vasodilation Vasodilation (or vasodilatation) refers to the widening of blood vessels. It results from relaxation of smooth muscle cells within the vessel walls, in particular in the large veins, large arteries, and smaller arterioles. The process is the opposite of vasoconstriction, which is the narrowing of blood vessels. When blood vessels dilate, the flow of blood is increased due to a decrease in vascular resistance. Therefore, dilation of arterial blood vessels (mainly the arterioles) decreases blood pressure. The response may be intrinsic (due to local processes in the surrounding tissue) or extrinsic (due to hormones or the nervous system).

Vasoconstriction Vasoconstriction is the narrowing of the blood vessels resulting from contraction of the muscular wall of the vessels, in particular 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. When blood vessels constrict, the flow of blood is restricted or decreased, thus retaining body heat or increasing vascular resistance.

Human Physiology/The male reproductive system The blood creates pressure in the corpora cavernosa, making the penis expand. The tunica albuginea helps to trap the blood in the corpora cavernosa, thereby sustaining erection. Erection is reversed when muscles in the penis contract, stopping the inflow of blood and opening outflow channels.

CARDIO - Regulation of Arterial Pressure, Exercise I and II Decrease in arterial pressure and venous pressure causes a decrease in capillary hydrostatis pressure, resulting in a net absorption of fluid from the interstitial space. Absorbed fluid dilutes red blood cells and causes a decrease in hematocrit count.

The Cardiovascular System: The Heart As a consequence, the blood pressure usually increases by 20 to 60 mm Hg, which helps sustain the increased blood flow through skeletal muscle blood vessels. In response to sympathetic stimulation, some decrease in the blood flow through the skin can occur at the beginning of exercise. However, as the body temperature increases in response to the increased muscular activity, temperature receptors in the hypothalamus are stimulated. As a result, action potentials in sympathetic nerve fibers causing vasoconstriction decrease, resulting in vasodilation of blood vessels in the skin.

- This did not result from injury to the smooth muscle cells because contractions to K + (60 mM) were not reduced by the procedure (Fig. 3). These results indicate that the contraction to acetylcholine is mediated by the endothelium rather than by a direct action of the agonist on vascular smooth muscle.
