What is central vasodilation?

Central vasodilation refers to the widening of blood vessels in the central part of the body, particularly in response to various physiological signals. This process helps to decrease blood pressure and increase blood flow to vital organs. It often occurs during situations such as exercise or heat exposure, where the body needs to regulate temperature and enhance oxygen delivery. Central vasodilation is primarily mediated by the nervous system and the release of certain hormones.
