Explanation:

When vasoactive chemicals are released from damaged tissue and platelets in response to tissue - damage or as part of the body's defense, it is inflammation. Histamine and bradykinin can act on arterioles. Nitric oxide is a powerful but short - lived vasodilator released by the vessel. Prostaglandins and thromboxanes can cause vasoconstriction to prevent blood loss from a damaged vessel.

Answer:

1. inflammation
2. arterioles
3. nitric oxide
4. vasoconstriction
