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.

Explain some of the ocean’s other benefits besides supplying us with water.
mojhsa [17]
The ocean moderates the Earth's climate. Most solar radiation occurs at the Equator, whereas the poles receive little radiation. The ocean<span> transport warm water from the Equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the Equator. The oceans provide a habitat for much of the marine life exploited by humans, such as harvested fish. The oceans act as a massive carbon sink, as phytoplankton absorb carbon from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. The ocean also provides a medium for large scale transportation of goods through shipping. It is unlikely that vehicles as large as container ships could ever be transported over land.</span>

Which part of the brain is responsible for autonomic functions such as ventilation, cardiac conduction, and vomiting?
romanna [79]

Medulla oblongata, the lowest part of the brain, is responsible for autonomic functions like ventilation, cardiac conduction, and vomiting.

The brain is a very complex organ that controls about every function of the body. It has three main sections:

1. Midbrain

2. Pons

3. Medulla oblongata or Medulla

The medulla oblongata is situated at the lowest portion of the brain. It connects to the pons on the upper side and the spinal cord on the posterior side. It is primarily responsible for controlling some autonomic functions, some of which are essential for human survival, such as ventilation ( pons work together with the medulla and produce rhythms for respiration) and cardiac function. Other functions involve controlling sneezing, hormonal balance, etc.

To know more about medulla oblongata, refer to the following link:
