  Vasodilator \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.
