under some circumstances, vascular endothelial cells may produce the vasoconstrictor __________.
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.

alpha receptors when bound to noradrenaline stimulate vaso___________. GPCR  activates phospholipase C  IP3  release of calcium from SR  contraction.
smooth muscle contractions maintain large forces, almost continually, and are very _____. Low energy costs.
