Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

A large container used for storing or holding liquids, typically resins used in additive manufacturing processes.  

The process of increasing the lumen diameter of a blood vessel, especially an arteriole. Widening of the blood vessels causing increased volume of flow in those vessels. Relaxation of the vascular tree with the result of a fall in blood pressure. Widening of blood vessels, especially arteries, usually due to certain nerve impulses or drugs…

Having the effect of lowering the blood pressure through reduction in peripheral resistance. An agent that causes vasodepression. Reducing circulation; agent that does so. Having a depressing influence on the circulation, lowering blood pressure by dilatation of blood vessels. Reducing blood pressure by dilating the blood vessels.  

An agent that promotes decrease in blood vessel diameter. Used in dentistry to prolong anesthesia, and to reduce bleeding during surgical procedures. Drug that causes constriction of blood vessels. A substance that causes a narrowing of the blood vessels. Causes contraction in the walls of the blood vessels. A substance that constricts (i.e., narrows) blood…

A mechanism that results in a decrease in vessel lumen diameter, especially in arterioles, which in turn increases pressure within the vessel or creates a state of hemostasis. A decrease in the diameter of blood vessels, which decreases blood flow and raises blood pressure. Constriction of the vascular tree with the result of an increase…

The process of infiltration by blood vessels; regarded as a critical support for the health and maintenance of living tissue or the healing of a graft. Process by which body tissue becomes vascular and develops capillaries. Development of new blood vessels in tissue such as the myocardium. The development of blood vessels (usually capillaries) within…

The source of blood to a tissue or organ.  

A type of deep pain that develops when blood flow to a tissue, organ, or nerves is interrupted. Pain that throbs or pulses, such as the pain of a migraine headache.  

Peptide factor, existing in four forms with different lengths (i.e., 121, 165, 189, and 206 amino acids), that is mitogenic for vascular endothelial cells and promotes tissue vascularization. Its levels are elevated in hypoxia, and it is important in tumor angiogenesis. A polypeptide chemical produced by cells that stimulates the growth of new blood vessels.…
