Answer:

Norepinephrine

Explanation:

Nerve cells and circulating hormones are the one responsible for vasoconstriction of the vessel walls, as they do not enter the tunica media of the blood vessel, the nerves do not synapse directly on the smooth muscle cells. Instead, they release the neurotransmitter, norepinephrine, which diffuses into the media and acts on the nearby smooth muscle cells, which result in contraction of the entire muscle cell layer and thus reducing the radius of the vessel lumen.

How is pillow lava evidence of<br> sea-floor spreading?
alexdok [17]
Pillow lava is evidence of sea-floor spreading because the lava comes up out of cracks at the mid-ocean ridge and becomes newly formed rock. The farther away you get from the mid-ocean ridge, the older the rock is.
