Vasoconstriction

Vasoconstriction is one of the ways that the body regulates body temperature.

The vasoconstriction response is triggered by the sympathetic nervous system.

Vasoconstriction can lead to reduced blood flow and tissue damage in extreme cases.

Vasoconstriction can occur in response to cold weather.

Certain medications can cause vasoconstriction, leading to decreased blood flow.

In some medical conditions, vasoconstriction can be harmful to the body.

Vasoconstriction in the legs can cause claudication and leg pain.

The body's natural response to injury is vasoconstriction to prevent excessive blood loss.
