Definition of Vasodilation. Meaning of Vasodilation. Synonyms of Vasodilation

- Vasodilation, also known as vasorelaxation, is the widening of blood vessels. It results from relaxation of smooth muscle cells within the vessel walls...
- inflammatory mediators responsible for the clinical signs of inflammation. Vasodilation and its resulting increased blood flow causes the redness (rubor) and...
- dilation of arterioles in the effected area is due to vasodilation. Although Lewis observed vasodilation that could be explained by axon reflex, there was...
- response, allowing change in blood supply to different tissues through vasodilation (widening of blood vessels). Clinically, hyperaemia in tissues manifests...
- also plays a role in regulation of blood flow to various organs through vasodilation. Adenosine receptor Adenosine reuptake inhibitor List of growth hormone...
- downstream organs, and is determined by the autonomic nervous system. Vasodilation and vasoconstriction are also used antagonistically as methods of thermoregulation...
- or hunting response is a process of alternating vasoconstriction and vasodilation in extremities exposed to cold. The term Lewis reaction is used too,...
- β-adrenergic receptors mediates the relaxation of muscle cells, resulting in vasodilation. Normally, α-adrenergic receptors predominate in smooth muscle of resistance...
- (vasoconstrictive), bradykinin (vasodilation), atrial natriuretic peptide (vasodilation), and prostacyclin (vasodilation). Arteriole diameters decrease...
- The underlying mechanism concerns both vascular hyperpermeability and vasodilation. Histamine binding to endothelial cells causes them to contract, thus...
