What makes people blush?

 

As you probably know, when people face an emotional situation, their faces and necks turn red and warm. This is due to your nerves, called vasodilators, being stimulated which makes the tiny blood vessels in your face and neck expand. Because of this, more blood is allowed to travel through these blood vessels and, as a result, giving them a red appearance.
