angiotensia

Example:Vasodilation can be induced by various factors, such as the release of nitric oxide, leading to decreased systemic vascular resistance and subsequently reduced blood pressure.

Definition:A process that causes the widening of blood vessels, which can lead to decreased blood pressure.

Example:Angiotensin II, a vasoconstrictor, causes arteriolar constriction, increasing peripheral resistance and raising blood pressure.

Definition:A process that causes the narrowing of blood vessels, typically due to the release of vasoconstrictive substances like angiotensin II.
