Vascular tone is determined by a variety of factors. Myogenic tone produced in response to intraluminal pressure changes constitutes the basal vascular tone, upon which vasoconstrictors, vasodilators and neurotransmitters released by sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves, locally produced metabolic substances and others can act to produce vasoconstriction or vasodilation.
