vasodilation is when your blood vessels get larger to allow more blood to pass through. what is the effect of vasodilation on your blood pressure?

Question

a your blood pressure decreases (gets lower)
b your blood pressure increases (gets higher)

Answer 1

The correct answer is a) your blood pressure decreases (gets lower).

When blood vessels dilate (widen), the resistance to blood flow decreases, which can lead to a decrease in blood pressure. More space in the blood vessels allows blood to flow more easily, resulting in lower pressure within the vessels.
