There are several medications and innate substances that can cause vasodilation (increase in the diameter of the blood vessels). Some of these include Cialis (yes, one of the drugs for erectile dysfunction), nitrates, adrenaline and electrical stimulation of the blood vessel wall muscles.

No it causes them to dilate (vasodilation)
What is relaxation of the smooth muscle in the artery wall which causes the artery wall to become larger?
Vasodilation
Does the sympathetic nervous system cause vasoconstriction?
Yep! The sympathetic nervous system causes both vasoconstriction & vasodilation. During "fight or flight" you need more O2/blood delivered to your skeletal muscles. The SNS causes vasodilation in skeletal muscles. The other organs, of the body (like digestive organs) are not needed for "fight or flight" survival. The SNS causes vasoconstriction in these organs.
What is thefunctionof thevascular phasein the acuteinflammatoryprocess:?
Vasodilation of the small blood vessels at the site of iniury.in leaking into tissue spaces and causes swelling and pain
Why does the permeability of blood vessels increase during acute inflammation?
vasodilation causes increased pressure within the blood vessel which causes gaps within endothelium to form-this allows for the increased permeability.
What reduces cardiac afterload?
vasodilation, anemia, cirrhosis, shock states (results in massive vasodilation)
What are the effectors that cause vasodilation and vasoconstriction?
Muscles in the blood vessels are the effectors that cause Vasodilation and Vasiconstriction.
