The answer is excessive narrowing of blood vessels.

When exposed to the cold, our body tries to reduce its heat loss by tightening the arterioles under the skin (vasoconstriction). This mechanism increases the flow of blood into the deep veins and allows the body to maintain its internal temperature.

In people with Raynaud's disease, this reaction is excessive: the nerves that control the tightening of arterioles are hypersensitive and cause spasm, rather than normal vasoconstriction. When the spasm stops, the arterioles dilate again, restoring blood circulation.

<h3>What is artery?</h3>
  • The blood channels that carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the body's tissues are called arteries.
  • Each artery consists of three layers and is a muscular tube bordered by smooth tissue.
  • The endothelium, a smooth tissue, lines the intima, the inner layer.
  • Blood is transported from your heart through arteries.
  • All body parts have arteries, with the exception of the hair, nails, epidermis, cartilages, and cornea.
  • In the limbs, they run along the flexor surface, where they are less vulnerable to injury, and the larger trunks typically occupy the most protected positions.
  • A conduit that carries blood from the heart to the body's extremities is called an artery.
  • Every artery, with the exception of the pulmonary artery, carries oxygenated blood.
  • The ascending aorta, aortic arch, thoracic aorta, and abdominal aorta are the four divisions of the aorta, which is the biggest artery in the body.
