Acetylcholine
Acetylcholine (ACh) is an organic compound that functions in the brain and body of many types of animals (including humans) as a neurotransmitter.
See Vasomotor and Acetylcholine
Adrenergic receptor
The adrenergic receptors or adrenoceptors are a class of G protein-coupled receptors that are targets of many catecholamines like norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and epinephrine (adrenaline) produced by the body, but also many medications like beta blockers, beta-2 (β2) agonists and alpha-2 (α2) agonists, which are used to treat high blood pressure and asthma, for example.
See Vasomotor and Adrenergic receptor
Angiotensin
Angiotensin is a peptide hormone that causes vasoconstriction and an increase in blood pressure.
Blood vessel
Blood vessels are the structures of the circulatory system that transport blood throughout the human body.
See Vasomotor and Blood vessel
Brachial plexus
The brachial plexus is a network of nerves (nerve plexus) formed by the anterior rami of the lower four cervical nerves and first thoracic nerve (C5, C6, C7, C8, and T1).
See Vasomotor and Brachial plexus
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a nerve compression syndrome associated with the collected signs and symptoms of compression of the median nerve at the carpal tunnel in the wrist.
See Vasomotor and Carpal tunnel syndrome
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy (often abbreviated chemo, sometimes CTX and CTx) is the type of cancer treatment that uses one or more anti-cancer drugs (chemotherapeutic agents or alkylating agents) in a standard regimen.
See Vasomotor and Chemotherapy
Endothelin
Endothelins are peptides with receptors and effects in many body organs.
In cell biology, extracellular fluid (ECF) denotes all body fluid outside the cells of any multicellular organism.
See Vasomotor and Extracellular fluid
Flexor retinaculum of the hand
The flexor retinaculum (transverse carpal ligament or anterior annular ligament) is a fibrous band on the palmar side of the hand near the wrist.
See Vasomotor and Flexor retinaculum of the hand
Klumpke paralysis
Klumpke's paralysis is a variety of partial palsy of the lower roots of the brachial plexus.
See Vasomotor and Klumpke paralysis
The median nerve is a nerve in humans and other animals in the upper limb.
See Vasomotor and Median nerve
Neurogenic shock
Neurogenic shock is a distributive type of shock resulting in hypotension (low blood pressure), often with bradycardia (slowed heart rate), caused by disruption of autonomic nervous system pathways.
See Vasomotor and Neurogenic shock
Neurotransmitter
A neurotransmitter is a signaling molecule secreted by a neuron to affect another cell across a synapse.
See Vasomotor and Neurotransmitter
Nitric oxide
Nitric oxide (nitrogen oxide or nitrogen monoxide) is a colorless gas with the formula.
See Vasomotor and Nitric oxide
Norepinephrine
Norepinephrine (NE), also called noradrenaline (NA) or noradrenalin, is an organic chemical in the catecholamine family that functions in the brain and body as a hormone, neurotransmitter and neuromodulator.
See Vasomotor and Norepinephrine
Prostacyclin
Prostacyclin (also called prostaglandin I2 or PGI2) is a prostaglandin member of the eicosanoid family of lipid molecules.
See Vasomotor and Prostacyclin
The tunica media (Neo-Latin "middle coat"), or media for short, is the middle tunica (layer) of an artery or vein.
See Vasomotor and Tunica media
Vascular resistance
Vascular resistance is the resistance that must be overcome for blood to flow through the circulatory system.
See Vasomotor and Vascular resistance
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.
See Vasomotor and Vasoconstriction
Vasodilation
Vasodilation, also known as vasorelaxation, is the widening of blood vessels.
See Vasomotor and Vasodilation
Vasomotor center
The vasomotor center (VMC) is a portion of the medulla oblongata.
See Vasomotor and Vasomotor center
