vascular function

Vascular function refers to how well the blood vessels, including arteries, veins, and capillaries, work to circulate blood throughout the body. Healthy vessels control blood flow, deliver oxygen and nutrients to tissues, and remove waste products. They also help regulate blood pressure and respond to the body's needs by widening or narrowing. Proper vascular function depends on vessel flexibility, clear pathways, and healthy lining cells, which work together to ensure efficient circulation. When vascular function is impaired, it can lead to issues like high blood pressure, reduced blood flow, or cardiovascular disease.
