Vascular tone corresponds to the general state of tension of the vascular musculature, which is responsible for blood flow. Higher regulation is the responsibility of the sympathetic nervous system, but local regulators are also available to the organism. Abnormal contractions of the vascular musculature are called vasospasms and can occur in the context of various … Vascular Tone: Function, Role & Diseases
Adenine is a heterobicyclic aromatic compound with a purine backbone that, as an organic nucleic base, forms one of the basic building blocks of genetic information in DNA and RNA along with three other bases. In addition, adenine in the form of a nucleoside or nucleotide plays an important role in metabolism as NAD, FADH2 … Adenine: Function & Diseases

A nucleoside always consists of a nucleic base linked to the monosaccharide ribose or deoxyribose by an N-glycosidic bond. All 5 nucleic bases – the building blocks of DNA and RNA double and single helices – can be enzymatically converted into nucleosides. Some glycosides have physiological significance such as adenosine, which is the basic building … Nucleosides: Function & Diseases
