vascularity
Visible vein network
Vascularity refers to the extent or density of blood vessels in tissue.
In medicine, increased vascularity may indicate inflammation or tumor growth.
In bodybuilding and fitness, vascularity describes the visible prominence of veins beneath the skin—a sign of low body fat and muscle definition: He's been cutting for weeks to improve his vascularity.
