Question
Chapter 42.4, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: The reason behind why nitroglycerin is preferred to relieve chest pain and used to treat heart disease patients.
Concept introduction:
Nitroglycerin is used as a vasodilator that opens blood vessels to improve blood flow. Angina results when there is imbalance between the oxygen supply and oxygen demand without a proportional increase in supply. The process of narrowing of arterioles is known as vasoconstriction. The process of relaxation of arterioles is known as vasodilatation.

In this video, you look inside the physiology of the fight-or-flight response, as envisioned for a firefighter.
