The widening of blood vessels due to the relaxation of the muscles in their walls, increasing blood flow to specific areas of the body. It helps in regulating body temperature by dissipating heat.
The narrowing of blood vessels due to the contraction of muscles in their walls, reducing blood flow. This process helps to conserve heat or direct blood flow to essential organs.
