Vasodilation or dilation of the blood vessels is due to a decrease in vascular resistance. As a result of the dilation of blood vessels, blood flow increases. Mammals or warm blooded creatures use vasodilation to move warm blood closer to the surface of the skin where heat can be released. Vasodilation serves as a form of cooling in warm blooded animals.
When blood vessels dilate, their diameter increases, allowing more blood to flow through them. This can help regulate blood pressure, increase blood flow to tissues or organs, and assist with heat loss in the body. Dilation is controlled by various factors, including hormones, neurotransmitters, and local tissue factors.

What happens in your body when you are hot?
