A circulatory process that occurs at the level of the vasculature. Any process that modulates the size of blood vessels. An increase in the internal diameter of blood vessels, especially arterioles or capillaries, usually resulting in a decrease in blood pressure. The flow of blood through the body of an animal, enabling the transport of nutrients to the tissues and the removal of waste products. A decrease in the diameter of blood vessels, especially arteries, usually causing an increase in blood pressure. The process where the diameter of a blood vessel is changed due to activity of the renin-angiotensin system. A organ system process carried out by any of the organs or tissues of the circulatory system. The circulatory system is an organ system that moves extracellular fluids to and from tissue within a multicellular organism. Any process that modulates the size of an anatomical structure. Ensuring that a tube is of the correct length and diameter. Tube size must be maintained not only during tube formation, but also throughout development and in some physiological processes.
