Spreading vasodilatation in resistance arteries.
Focal application of vasodilators such as acetylcholine (ACh), which evoke arterial hyperpolarization, cause coordinated dilatation along the length of an artery with minimal decay with distance from the site of application. This phenomenon is called spreading vasodilatation. In an artery wall, the...
