Explanation:

When tissue is damaged or as part of the body's defense, vasoactive chemicals are released. Histamine and bradykinin are released in certain reactions. They can cause vasodilation by directly stimulating arterioles or indirectly by making the vessel release nitric oxide. Prostaglandins and thromboxanes can cause vasoconstriction to prevent blood loss. Inflammation is the general process name.

Answer:

1. Inflammation
2. Vasodilation
3. Arterioles
4. Nitric oxide
5. Vasoconstriction
