  3. Vasopressin receptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasopressin_receptor

    Vasopressin acts on medullary vasculature through V 1 R to reduce blood flow to inner medulla without affecting blood flow to outer medulla. V 1 Rs on the luminal membrane of the collecting duct limit the antidiuretic action of vasopressin.

  4. Paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraventricular_nucleus_of...

    Parvocellular vasopressin cells, which project to many points in the hypothalamus and limbic system, as well as to the brainstem and spinal cord (these are involved in blood pressure and temperature regulation), and brown fat thermogenesis. Parvocellular CRH neurons, which are thought to be involved in stress-related behaviors.

  5. Hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothalamic–pituitary...

    CRH and vasopressin are released from neurosecretory nerve terminals at the median eminence. CRH is transported to the anterior pituitary through the portal blood vessel system of the hypophyseal stalk and vasopressin is transported by axonal transport to the posterior pituitary gland. There, CRH and vasopressin act synergistically to stimulate ...

  6. Vasopressin (medication) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasopressin_(medication)

    Vasopressin infusions are in use for septic shock patients not responding to fluid resuscitation or infusions of catecholamines (e.g., dopamine or norepinephrine) to increase the blood pressure while sparing the use of catecholamines. These argipressins have much shorter elimination half-life (around 20 minutes) than synthetic non-arginine ...

  7. Vasoconstriction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasoconstriction

    The narrowing of blood vessels leads to an increase in peripheral resistance, thereby elevating blood pressure. While vasoconstriction is a normal and essential regulatory mechanism for maintaining blood pressure and redistributing blood flow during various physiological processes, its dysregulation can contribute to pathological conditions.

  9. Low pressure receptors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_pressure_receptors

    These cardiopulmonary receptors also inhibits vagal stimulation in the vasoconstrictor center of the medulla resulting in decreased release of angiotensin, aldosterone, and vasopressin. These receptors also cause a renal vasodilation, resulting in increased diuresis. This decreases the blood volume, resulting in the decrease of blood pressure.
