Question
Chapter 22.7, Problem 21CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The neurotransmitter and the receptor which mediates the cutaneous vasoconstriction.
Introduction: Heat loss across the skin is controlled by regulating the blood flow in blood vessels of the skin. The narrowing of the lumen of blood vessels is known as vasoconstriction. Vasoconstriction decreases the amount of blood which flow through the vessel.
