in beta receptors  NA binds  activates adenylate __________  increases cAMP production  relaxation  vasodilation.
nitric oxide is released by endothelial cells that are being affected by high velocity blood flow (sheer stress)  acts on underlying smooth m cells to INCREASE levels of ______  vascular relaxation. (cAMP also has same effect)
___________ hyperaemia is a term given to the temporary increase n blood flow after a period of reduced blood flow (due to the same build up of metabolic products as in active hyperaemia). Gradually returns to control level.
intrinsic autoregulation of vessels involves myogenic response to _______. If blood flow decreases (due to drop in pressure  resistance decreases to increase flow) if blood pressure increases, sensed by vessels, reflexive vasoconstriction to protect capillaries.
smooth muscle, unlike skeletal, has a poorly developed ____________ __________.
in smooth muscle, during an action potential, the inward flux of ions is not _________, but calcium( through receptor and voltage operated channels).
sheer stress caused by high velocity blood flow causes ________ levels in endothelial cells to increase . this leads to increased NO synthase actvitity , NO production, stimulates smooth muscle, cGMP production, vasodilation.
an increased velocity of blood flow generates sheer stress on the walls of vessels  stimulates endothelial cells to release factors that relax underlying smooth muscle (eg NO)  this counterbalances the _________ stretch response (increased pressure = reflex vasoconstriction).
vascular smooth muscle is controlled by: sympathetic nerves, mediators secreted by vascular endothelium, and by ___________ circulating in the blood.
the major neurotransmitter affecting vascular tone.
alpha receptors are GPCRs. NA  binds to GPCR alpha receptor  activates ________ C  IP3 produced  stimulates calcium release from SR (small amount)  stimulates calcium entry from ECF (relatively larger amount)  contraction  vessel constriction.
beta receptors can be found in blood vessels in skeletal muscle and ___________ circulation. When NA  beta receptors  dilation. (fight or flight)
under some circumstances, vascular endothelial cells may produce the vasoconstrictor __________.
smooth muscle cells contain a few thick myosin filaments, and many thin _____ filaments, attached to dense bodies.
active hyperaemia occurs when ___________ products increase in blood (adenosine, lactic acid, CO2, low oxygen levels, potassium)  stimulate vasodilation (active hyperaemia).

smooth muscle contractions maintain large forces, almost continually, and are very _____. Low energy costs.
_____________ nervous system innervates vessels.
