The 29 pages that link to Vasodilation, each with the reason it gives.

• InflammationRelated: Increased local blood flow contributes to inflammation’s redness and warmth.

• VasoconstrictionCompared with: It is the direct diameter-changing counterpart to vasoconstriction.

• Nitric oxideRelated: NO-triggered relaxation changes blood flow and vascular resistance.

• EndotheliumRelated: Endothelial signals such as nitric oxide relax nearby smooth muscle and widen vessels.

• Endothelial cellRelated: Endothelial signals such as nitric oxide can relax nearby vascular smooth muscle.

• Vascular resistanceRelated: Dilation lowers resistance and can increase blood flow through an organ.

• Vascular smooth muscleRelated: Relaxation of vascular smooth muscle allows vessels to dilate.

• NitroglycerinRelated: Nitroglycerin’s therapeutic action depends on relaxing vascular smooth muscle.

• Heat stressRelated: Skin vasodilation transfers more internal heat toward the body surface.

• HypotensionRelated: Excessive vessel widening can reduce pressure even when blood volume is adequate.

• MinoxidilRelated: Oral minoxidil lowers blood pressure by producing strong arteriolar vasodilation.

• AmlodipineRelated: Amlodipine lowers peripheral resistance by dilating arteries.

• AntipyreticRelated: Antipyretic-driven heat loss can involve increased blood flow near the skin.

• Blood vesselRelated: Wider vessels can increase local blood flow and reduce vascular resistance.

• ArterioleRelated: Arteriolar vasodilation lowers resistance and can increase tissue perfusion.

• Nitric oxide synthaseRelated: Endothelial nitric oxide synthase initiates a major pathway that relaxes vascular smooth muscle.

• Anaphylactic shockRelated: Widespread vasodilation lowers vascular resistance and can reduce blood pressure.

• Tunica mediaRelated: Relaxation of medial smooth muscle enlarges the lumen through this process.

• DiltiazemRelated: Relaxed arteries lower vascular resistance and reduce the heart's workload.

• Hot flashRelated: Expanded skin blood vessels contribute to the flushing and heat loss of an episode.

• Neurogenic shockRelated: Reduced sympathetic vasoconstriction widens vessels and lowers systemic vascular resistance.

• PapaverineRelated: Relaxing vascular smooth muscle produces papaverine's vasodilating effect.

• PerspirationRelated: Skin vasodilation often works alongside sweating to transfer core heat to the surface.

• SaunaRelated: Heat widens skin blood vessels, increasing circulation near the body’s surface.

• Amyl nitriteNarrower topic: This is the immediate physiological effect behind amyl nitrite’s historical use for angina.

• AngiologyCompared with: It counteracts vasoconstriction and changes how blood is distributed.

• Pentaerythritol tetranitrateNarrower topic: This is the immediate vascular effect behind PETN’s use against angina.

• Comb and wattlesRelated: Changes in vessel diameter can alter blood flow, surface temperature, and visible color.

• Integumentary System Physiological PhenomenaCompared with: It increases heat transfer at the skin, unlike vasoconstriction, which reduces it.
