d. Vascularization

Answer: The correct options are a and b.

Hence, the term “Increased vascularization” is good enough to describe how new blood vessels are developed from the regular call for oxygen or other nutrients by the tissues.

Hyperemia is a rather significant physiological process which can occur in various conditions in the human organism. Angiogenesis is the process of the formation of new blood vessels and the maturation and remodelling of pre-existing ones so that there could be enhancement of the delivery of blood supply to certain tissues and/or organs. This process is often triggered by such factors as tissue generation, healing or when the rate of metabolism in cells rises. For example, in the course of wound healing, the process of formation of new blood vessels is very significant in supplying oxygen and other nutrients to the healing tissue, thus, increasing the rate of healing. For instance, when one has had muscle hypertrophy from exercising, the new tissues develop a requirement for oxygen and nutrients and thus need blood supply. Tumours also stimulate the process of angiogenesis which is the formation of blood vessels which provide nourishment to the growing tumours. Usually, it is used in cancer treatments as the formation of tumors is often occasioned by this process. In pregnancy, the placenta becomes relatively denser for vascular, to cater for the developing fetus. Further branching has been reported in almost all specialties of medicine such as cardiology, oncology, and regenerative medicine mainly because it is capable of being a healer and a killer depending on whether it is in a normal or pathological state.
