Epinephrine can cause vasodilation provided the level is low enough. If beta-2 recptors are activated (without the level of epinephrine being high enough to involve the significant numbers of alpha receptors), then the effect of epinephrine on the vascular smooth muscle be relaxation, thus, dilation. However, higher levels of epinephrine will activate alpha receptors which will cause vasoconstriction.

What effect does vasodilation have on blood pressure?
Vasodilation causes a drop in blood pressure.
Differences between vasodilation and vasoconstriction?
Vasodilation is relaxation of blood vessels leading to increase in lumen size. Vasoconstriction is contraction of blood vessels leading to decrease in lumen size.
What are the symptoms of vasodilation?
Vasodilation is the widening of the blood vessels. The common symptoms are low blood pressure, dizziness, flushing, and light headedness.

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.
