microcirculation

Examples of microcirculation in the following topics:

• Arterioles

  • An arteriole is a small diameter blood vessel in the microcirculation system that branches out from an artery and leads to capillaries.
  • An arteriole is a small-diameter blood vessel which forms part of the microcirculation that extends from an artery and leads to capillaries.
  • The microcirculation involves the flow of blood in the smallest blood vessels, including arterioles, capillaries, and venules.
  • Arterioles are part of the microcirculation system, along with capillaries, arteries, veins, venules, and tissue cells.

• Venules

  • Venules are small blood vessels in the microcirculation that connect capillary beds to veins.
  • A venule is a small blood vessel in the microcirculation that allows deoxygenated blood to return from capillary beds to larger blood vessels called veins.

• Capillaries

  • Capillaries, the smallest blood vessels in the body, are part of the microcirculation.

• Blood Flow

  • In microcirculation, the properties of the blood cells have an important influence on flow.

• Homeostatic Responses to Shock

  • As fluid is lost, blood concentration and viscosity increase, causing blockage of the microcirculation.
