| Acute ethanol effect on smooth muscle is vaso_____, smooth muscle relaxation, hypothermia in cold environements. | |
| _____ dependence - need for continued drug exposure to avoid withdrawal symptoms. | |
| A reduced effect upon repeated exposure to a constant drug dose, or the need for an increased dose to maintain an effect | |
