Vas`o*di*lat"or (?), a.[L. vas a
vessel + dilator.] (Physiol.) Causing dilation or
relaxation of the blood vessels; as, the vasodilator nerves,
stimulation of which causes dilation of the blood vessels to which they go.
These nerves are also called vaso-inhibitory, and
vasohypotonic nerves, since their stimulation causes relaxation and
rest.
