Detailed explanation-1: -Share on Pinterest Vasodilation may occur when a person exercises. Vasodilation refers to the widening of the arteries and large blood vessels. It is a natural process that occurs in response to low oxygen levels or increases in body temperature.

Detailed explanation-2: -Direct warming of the skin causes a vasodilation dependent on the degree and the speed of the local warming (5, 29, 58).
