Brings together up-to-date accounts of the endothelial, neuronal and humoral factors influencing vascular smooth muscle tone, and presents integrated accounts of how such mechanisms operate in the control of the vasculature of the major organ systems. This approach highlights the value of future research directed at the interface of molecular biology and in vivo integrative cardiovascular control.
